I am going to the sand dunes next weekend so i am sure i will get plenty of videos
thats rediculous especially with 37" military tires and bead locks, those are not light what so ever.
Yea they are pretty heavy, i plan on swamping out my run flats that are currently in there for a set of cut down run flats that should remove some weight from each tire/rim combo
I installed some offroad lights on to my new to me bumper
I also updated my fuel system, having the regulator closer to the engine give me a better transient response to when my injector duty cycle is above 30%, This really helps prevent lean spikes when transitioning from part throttle to full throttle boost. I also added a pressure transducer so i can record my fuel pressure via my tuner to make sure i am not dropping to much fuel pressure under high boost.
I still have to wire the transducer in, i have to find a 5v reference that i am not using from my PCM to power the transducer
Whats up with your steering stabilizer
Looks like you still have to get the bugs out of that transducer.
I take it you are hooking up the reference point on that regulator to the manifold yet? And you run the regulator after the fuel rails right? Why are there three lines to it? I would think you would run through both rails in series, then through the regulator, then just a return back to the tank?
Looks like a fun rig!
I have hit it on stuff and it rotated down, i plan on relocating it above the axle center line

For right now i have a return less style fuel rail, i will upgrade this in the future. So the Fuel flows from the tank to the regulator, the regulator sends the excess back thru the return line and the regulated fuel runs to the rail. I am running the transducer so i am able to log fuel pressure with my laptop. That way i can see if i am loosing fuel pressure as i go into boost.
For right now i don't have the regulator hooked up to manifold vacuum. This because my injector IFR table is setup for a constant fuel pressure not changing with engine load. When i hook up the reference i will have to recalculate my injector flow numbers based on manifold pressure. When i have the transducer working that will tell me how much raising my pressure with boost will help me
I like yo engine, and yo truck
Thanks, ill be sure to add plenty of pictures after this weekend when i take it to silver lake dunes

Dangit, I was trying to get my motor and exhaust finshed up by this weekend and head up there. I only live like 45 min away, but its not looking like it now. Hit me up if you head up again sometime.
Its called coffee and working late into the night
I will be at the dunes Saturday, im driving up tonight after i get off work. It will be the 1st road trip with my new motor

Well if your going through the muskegon area on your way up or down hit me up. Ill pm you my #
Here are some GoPro clips from this past weekends wheeling, i had it mounted to the roll bar on my truck I have some pictures that i will upload later too

I love how, when you pull up at the end of the last video, the Jeep just drives off...
Cool vids.
It's hard to judge speed, but it seems like you were going quite a bit faster than I would before with the leaf springs. How fast were you going on the last video before you hit that bump up?

I have no idea how fast i was going my speedo does not work correctly i believe the speedo circuit board is bad, I am going ot look at my shock to see if there are still in good condition because i did seem to get a lot of bouncing in the rough areas of the dunes.
I do know climbing test hill i would hit 6000ish RPM in second gear that is around 45 mph wheel speed, but i am sure i had plenty of wheel spin going up the hill
the go pro is not mine it is my buddies who was riding with me, it is the Go-pro HD model, i think it is pretty sweet, he even had one of the guys we knew on a dirt bike strap it to his helmet and ride around with it on that was pretty cool footage.
Cool vids man. Its odd, theirs like no way to get a picture of the dunes, or a video that shows how tall they really are. That first vid makes test hill look so small, but in person its pretty big and steep. Way different in person.
And I like the 2nd vid cruisin past that ferd on entrance hill. Normally that hill is so freekin bumpy when I go up that theirs no way you can drive up it that fast, not even on my quad.
