Jeep Gladiator cold air intake - pleasantly suprises
I wanted to try and extract a little extra torque/HP from my 3.6. Normally, intakes don't make much difference on low revving engines, and the Jeep has a pretty nice intake already.
To get the most out of the 3.6, you need to reprogram the Engine Contol Module. Livernois performance does this. of course you can go the supercharger route. But, that's way out of range.
So, a few notable things about the install. Generally pretty simple. I did have to backtrack a bit, but the overall install took 30-45min.
The initial impression:
Normally, there is a little bit off a torque hole at around 2200rpm. With the intake, the hole is "shallower". But the big difference is at 3200-3800 rpm. Much more aggressive sound, especially with aggressive throttle imput. Acceleration at 3200+ rpm seemed better.
When I get more seat time, I'll update here. But for now, I'm pleased.

All about hinge pins - FSJ Wagoneer
Переглядів 1659 місяців тому
Most of my hinges are worn. The front doors are easy. I bought pins and bushings from BJs, and Ebay (same). But I had a hard time finding pins for the rear. I could buy used hinges for the rear, but those would probably have worn out pins too. I looked through a number of available pins (Chevy, Ford, even imports). Nothing matched exactly. So I decided to find a pin and accompanying bushings an...

Spraying the roof! LVLP for the Wagoneer.
Переглядів 88710 місяців тому
Spraying the roof. One coat sealer. Three coats base. 3.5 coats clear. Came out OK. I'm definitely the limiting factor. there are spots on the roof that are like glass. And there are spots with texture. Once everything is done I'll see about wet sanding and buffing. This was a big panel. And awkward as it's hard to reach the middle. Now I can focus on the doors.
Nason 2K primer and R200 Siphon...not all that sparkles is gold.

Now that bodywork and epoxy is done, time to prime. Using Nason Primer I decided to try the R200 Siphon that came with my R500. Well... it didn't turn out. Disaster actually. So the R500 came to the rescue.
Rolling Raptor Liner
Переглядів 766Рік тому
Rolling on some Raptor Liner before primer. I thought about spraying it, but didn't want to mask. Worked out pretty well. I like to wet texture on the rockers. The rocker part will be primed and painted along with the body. 3/8" nap roller worked well, though I probably should have used a higher quality one. The fabric separates after a while, requiring a new roller. So now, I'm ready for the b...
Spraying Tintable Raptor on the floor.
Переглядів 484Рік тому
2nd part of the floor finishing. I used tintable Raptor and I used my base coat paint for the color. You can buy tint packs for Raptor specifically, but I figured this would work. The tintable is a little harder to work with because you really have to focus on mixing. I think its a little thicker too. In the end, I was hoping to get the same texture I had with the black in my previous videos. B...

Floor progress, FINALLY!

Made progress on the floor. I had a change of plans. I was going to spray epoxy, but as I started, I veered off course and used a different product. I think it's for the better.

This took a while. I'm no expert, so I didnwhat any newb does and dove right in. Turned out OK. I wish I was a better welder. New metal from BJ's. Requires quite a bit of fitting and instill didn't get it just right, but it's better. I used weld through primer everywhere. after welding and smoothing, I used a lot of Rust Bullet on all the seams. Next up is taking the rest of the tar off, grindi...
