Wow. I knew the hippies were trouble but I didn't catch all of that. I stayed in my rig while Nissan turned around and the suburban was pulled out. Didn't realize what was taking so long.

I know Rory at rad designs. He has a decent Mechanical/switch operated shift for the AW4. I have built a tiptronic PLC based shifter with digital read out. The shifting is not the issue, mine operates just like rad designs. My tcc lockup also will also work like Rad Designs. I plan on taking a...

These are some of my thoughts that I have been going through for anyone interested. I'm working on this electronic shifter for the AW4. The shifting will work properly. I will also have a switch to energize the torque converter lock up solenoid. The goal is to be able to run through the gears...

Anybody around here know a decent amount about auto transmissions and modifications? Specifically the AW4 and possible valve body mods? Looking to modify the Converter Clutch Relay Valve so I can engine brake in every gear. Kris

So I took apart my coilovers to add the bumpstops on the shafts and bleed the air I let in when adding the 90 degree fittings on the remote reservoirs. FOAs instructions and all other instructions I find say to set the internal floating piston at a depth of 8" then push in the seal head and...

No problem. Just let me know. I'm always around. Except this weekend. Lol

So just checked and it seems my effective rear corner sprung weight is about 625lbs. Doesnt that seem lower then it should be? Its not loaded down with gear and still got a little tube work to do, but still...

Trying to get my rig done for this. Workin on it all weekend.

Got the front fenders done minus the skins. Started on the rear bumper and D Pillars.

Got the hood lines done on both sides and most of the passenger fender. Need to get some 90* fitting for my reservoirs so I can run them inside.

Nice. I drive 2500+ miles a month for work. Did you happen to come across any knuckles you may have had laying around? :D

I love 4 day weekends. Time to get crap done. Progress. Gonna have to do some slight manipulation to the wiper arms.

Yea. I drive by Andy's place all the time. Stopped by once and introduced myself. Sounds like you had an interesting night. Lol
