New Tow Rig

Just got in from KS with my new DD/Tow Rig 2002 6spd 24v. Here is one pic that the previous owner took, Truck no longer has the fugly bumper. I'll post some better pics tomorrow right now its time for bed.

Nice!


Isn't everything?



No, previous owner used it to tow is personal race car and Demolition Derby cars, DOT cops are a pain in the ass in KS and Nebraska.

Kansas DOT cops are lame, they made us wait until the sun came up because the running lights on the goose stopped working. Even though our flashers worked just fine.

Congrats on the new truck! :thumbsup:

got some, the edge has my fuel pressure, egt, Trans Temp, and Motor Temp with alarms set on each. I also have Boost and Egt on the A pillar.

Do I need anymore?


I "need" a southbend and some head studs but that comes with a salty price tag, and then I'll just "need" injectors and a turbo, its a never ending cycle but I need to finish the jeep first.

Fass150
Edge Juice with Attitude
Exhaust Brake
S&B Filter set up
Strait Pipe
Gauges

I got 20.5 mpg's on the way home calculated by hand, the Truck should have done better but I hit a bunch of road work and WV is uphill in every direction, truck runs and pulls great, plenty of pedal left even in 6th gear running 70mph uphill.

Nice truck fo sho. You don't need any more gauges at all. I'd be happy with 20mpg. I haven't seen that yet. I'm 17ish around town, on the highway, it doesn't matter. 60 with cruise, 80 with cruise. Still 17. Towing is a consistent 13.
I've been quoted about $1100 for the Southbend OFE installed.

PM me with what clutch you are looking for and I can get a price for you.

Nice truck tho, I am looking for another 6psd to haul my pulling truck around. I know its a slippery slope, I strted with a truck that had a Banks chip, exhaust, and FASS...now I have a p-pumped 24v pulling truck with 700+ hp

I am trying to stay focused on the fact that I want a TJ on one tons. As far as the southbend I don't know I need to do some more research as I am not sure which would make the most sense for me. Ultimately I'm not sure how wild I'll go with this truck. . . . now a bombed 12v would be pretty sweet.

Con OFE or a dual disk, the Con FE is a harsh clutch for a tow rig tho it will hold roughly 550hp. i ran a full metallic (iron) clutch and it was the worst money I spent, 10 months later i ripped it out and it had destroyed the pressure plate and flywheel and it was rougher than hell when shifting.
