So followed blazen’s mounting steps and installed intrepid e fans used an heyden 3651 controller and put a probe in the head for the temp sensor heatwave a few weeks ago cooked the clutch fan so had to be done. Also went to the man mall yesterday and got a replacement g80 carrier for the rear end found a place that will take the old bearings off it and install the new ones cheap.


Got snow coming soon and want to have the locker back did not enjoy an open diff last winter and during the off roading trips

 

Was hot out today 33 degrees or 90 for the Americans and the new fans kept my engine at 92 Celsius or 198f roughly and that’s with the ac cranked and the fans only on low speed

 

Was out in the garage late last night got the g80 carrier all installed and touched up all the paint





been trying to find a new hood been watching for a black Jimmy with a good hood and a tire carrier

 

Looks nice and fresh again!

 

I love how it looks after a fresh touch up and yes it barely fits in the garage I was scared I wouldn’t be able to pull out of the garage after I put the body lift on. I might have a couple inches between the rack and garage door opening

 

When the mechanics swapped the engine, I noticed about 2" between the roof rack, and his garage door when opened lol... and lately I've been looking into 33s and a body lift. Currently on 31s myself.

 

I’m on 31s now thought about 32s or 33s but I drive it all day everyday and the roads can be abit rough plus I used to hit the back of the fenders before the body lift with these rims. I’d probably have to drop to stock backspacing rims if I got bigger. My current set up 15x8 and a -16 offset

 

Tried to get a nice fall shot hare to find in the city

 

So been having some cold start issues took a look into the intake and drivers side was washed clean. Been looking for mpfi upgrade at the wreckers as I just don’t have the money for new. Found a low mileage 03 zr5 pulled sensor with it starts up like a dream now and even idle is smoother

 

So my injectors have been doing great and lots more power with the cat back exhaust but now the bad. My fan controller died last night but I had it wired so I could fix it super quick if it ever did die and then today my nice 145amp alternator crapped out on me but luckily I kept my old one and got back on the road after getting a ride home and back to grab the tools and spare. Gonna try to lift me rear bumper up to match the body lift tomorrow
