The Build and Adventures of Bearbait

Had a chance to see what Bearbait would look like with 37s and it looked good! Too bad these tires and wheels are getting switched to Bearclaw, I just used the JK to transport them since the wheels were already on there. Hopefully this fall we get a set for Bearbait.IMG_6717.jpegIMG_6715.jpegIMG_6716.jpeg
 
Mounted up the KMC tank wheels today on my existing tires… I can’t wait to get 37s on here, it was sad to take them off to give to Bearclaw. I love the way these wheels look! Can’t wait to test them out this weekend. Almost forgot to install valve stems on one wheel 😬 that could’ve been bad. I give credit to anyone who mounts beadlocks on a regular basis, it’s tough!

Also, I don’t know if it’s a new thing but I love that the hardware is black too!

Did the BG dynamic engine cleaning process today.

Took it to the shop a few weeks back for a miss firing issue, he suggested the BG cleaner personally rather than dropping thousands into repair or even more into an engine replacement. There are metal shavings showing up in the filter too. Sucks. Hopefully it can hold out for a little longer…

I should note, I blame my choice for adding a K&N air filter and letting garbage in.

Dang! Hope this works out for you! Any idea where the shavings are coming from?

Did they show you the metal? A lot or a little?

I’m assuming a rocker arm, I had several replaced years ago.

They did show me the metal and it was in my filter again yesterday. It’s a moderate amount of small specs (small glittery) with a couple shards.

UPDATE :

It certainly cleaned out a lot of crap. At a cold start, it stills starts rough and idles rough. Once it’s been warmed up it runs fine. So in all, it didn’t really do much to help my situation.

Still looks like I’m going to have to spend a bunch of money in repairs eventually.

I should have added a more recent update…

After putting some miles on it, the check engine light went off, the cold starts have been much smoother, and overall it’s been running better!

For now, I don’t need to dump a bunch of money into this engine when I ultimately want to swap it in a couple of years.
