well, its not really the cams fault its the incorrect fuel map that the iacv is fighting before closed loop.  too much air for the fuel being put in off a dumb table

I always fought that rough idle before it warmed up...

I don’t think I was able to maintain a good low idle...
this will greatly help when I swap the cam out with a better lower torque curve.
the guy in there now is way too high.. that’s why it rips so well on the road.

I need a mad max trailer when backing up hill in carter st. warehouse... always seem to miss judge the opening..

winching orphaned jeeps out of fields has also taken its toll on the poor lights...

hmmm, i only checked the lights worked on my ZJ which doesnt have a brake controller.  i dont think i was near the brake wiring at all and wouldn't imagine the wires are anywhere near where i was welding- let me know what you find.

i was just going to run a piece of 1.25 tube from the fender to the frame, but after Matt broke the band saw blade and Arie confirmed backing up and driving over were both failure modes- out came iron work with bar. 



The skid turned out pretty good.  should be pretty bom proof.  i would suggest if you ever need to pull, only pull the skid, or only pull the cross member.  installing both at once takes a trans jack and some HD wiggling. 

Cage tie in should stiffen up the tub mounts where OE mounts were getting nuked, but the rubber pad should kill any vibes / rattels.
 


All else looks in good working order on the jeep, everything else pretty tight and lubed good.
