If you plan on offroading where there's rocks, replace those side steps with something beefier or your pinch welds may end up getting bent flat. I went with Rubicon rails and ACE Engineering rock bars. They also act as a step.

Cool.
I didn't know you could stuff 5.13s into the new d30.

Yup. Can go 5.38 but only one manufacturer makes them and they are hard to get your hands on. I was originally going to do that.

i was actually looking to replace them as I do plan to offroad many places (where there are rocks of course)... i didnt want to lose my sidesteps for shorter people who get in the jeep, im 6'1 so its no issue for me but i gotta look out for them . I'll look into those, thanks

The rubi rails fit under the ace rock bars and provide additional protection. You can kind of see them.

Mine.

Nice Kaiser, that thing is awesome! As a kid my hometown fire dept had one as its "Brush Truck", they've since replaced it with a K15 from the 80s. I sure hope they didn't send it off the crusher or put it in some field somewhere they still have the rest of their trucks since the inception of the fire dept.

Thanks. Often your city or state will post upcoming auctions. Perhaps it'll end up there and somebody will scoop it up.

I got my Jeep running, there's only 80 miles on the new engine so I can't really toy with it yet, but I've been doing a lot of driving.

It needs an ECU, the current one is acting up, probably due to the fact that's it's gotten wet several times, I found one that's clean and works for sure, will be here Tuesday. I also ordered Rusty's 3" Lift with the add-a-leaf option. I didn't feel like spending the extra dough on a leaf pack and I don't mind doing the extra work.

Anyways, here is the mandatory tire off the ground picture:



And the other side:



Where do the tires go?

Today I gave the outside a quick bath, not too concerned with really keeping this thing spick and spam because, well, it gets used. However I like a clean interior and windows. Today I got the interior really clean, and washed the windows inside and out.

Oh, I should mention too that I changed my front axle, rear axle, transfer case, and transmission fluid also.

I also had to replace the bearings in the front end because it was full of water and mud due to there not being a vent hose present.

Anyways, I routed my 5/16 vent hose into the hole on the side of the airbox where the breather hose from the valve cover goes and put a little filter on the valve cover, worked out perfect.

Other than that, not a lot to update, will post pictures of the lift and give an update with the new ECU. Right now there's just random **** happening that makes no sense and you can't get a computer to communicate with it. Besides the fact that tapping on it gives undesirable idle responses.
