    12' Gecko Build

    Yeah ran the pressure up to 15 and it held steady for a good 5 mins. There is a fusion axles Facebook page and it seems to be a common theme. Some swear by going with a J8 master, some say it took them running the abs JScan like 30 times and it finally firmed up and some have success just...

    Welp got the motive power bleeder. Did the standard bleed all looked good. Ran the JScan ABS bleed. Did another manual bleed. Ran a second JScan ABS bleed and another manual bleed. The pedal is a little bit better but its still pretty dang soft to the floor 😪

    I bought the power bleeder and I ended up buying an OBDII adapter so I can run the ABS bleed on Jscan. Hoping that will at least get it drivable. My end up just going to the dealer after that for a full flush and bleed if I'm still not happy

    Just ordered the motive power bleeder we will see how that works. Does pressurizing from the top work into the ABS as well? I have a feeling I've got air up into the ABS as well if It sat open for that long and the pedal is so soft.

    Had the wife help again Press and hold the pedal Crack the bleeder Close the bleeder Release, repeat. 5 times per corner. The driver front had like 2 tiny bubble come out but all 4 corners look good. Clean fluid no air. Start it up and its still just mush to the floor

    I'm gonna try to gravity bleed the whole system. Then have the wife push the pedal again and see what happens. I didn't really keep tabs on the master while I had it torn apart so hopefully not but never know

    I was fairly confident in all of them but yeah its super soft on to the floor. Gonna try to hit them again tonight see if more air worked its way out. Yeah started back right, back left, front right, front left

    Anyone got any pro tip on getting the brakes bead after having the lines open for months? Did the conventional 2 person method quite a few times and my pedal is still just going straight to the floor. Just wanna take it for a test drive 😪

    Welp.... the jeep is officially ready for its first test drive. Gonna wait for the day light to make sure I'm actually going to clear my garage door but damn I can't wait to drive this thing again. Once I get some testing and adjustments done I'll post up my experience with getting these fusion...

    Haha that's fair. I feel like I can't quite claim all the new stuff until it get it out on the trails though

    Finally back on its own weight. I think i like the ride height and it's got like a 2 degree rake. Now for all the ride height measurements, drive shafts sent out and all the small stuff hooked back up. Still long ways to go but a good small victory for today

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    I feel ya, I was agonizing over it when I ordered new axles on what to do. Time will tell how it shakes out. I don't have it back on the road yet with the new 38s but I think it will be a good fit for the 37-40s range for a off and on road combo. Im also a bit lighter with the 2dr so I think...

    Ight so the front major components are all in. Control arms adjusted, measured for drive shafts, steering in and initially alligned, bumps in their final resting place. Springs and shocks are in. I have the new track bar but I'm gonna wait till I get it on its own weight to see if I need to make...

    Motech build underway! LT1 10l80

    Ive got the same motor trans and gears combo you have. I thought the 4.88s with the 37s was a little much for regular road driving. Doing an axle swap now and kept the 4.88s after talking to robbie and kalen and i think it will be a good fit for the eventual move to 40s. You will by no means be...

    From what i can tell it's just the fact that the TREs are so large and the tire rod mounts on top of the knuckle. If I was running 40s it would stuff better but really I'm only losing 2 inches. Yeah id like it to be perfect but it's not the end of the world. It's a pretty common problem on their...

    Working on front axle adjustments. Bumps hit perfectly center, caster is set at 7. Ended up ordering an adjustable track bar since I'm about 2" farther driver than I'd like. Checking other clearances my main limfack right now is my drag link contacting my tie rod long before I'm getting to full...

    I didn't request anything specific for the exhaust routing. Thats just where motec ran it. I did have them put in an exhaust cut out that is right around the transfer case area but doubt that had any effect on placement of the rest

    Making some headway getting this rear axle placed. Think I may need to push it right just a little but so far I think I'm set with how far back it is and the pinion angle. Next to throw the rear shocks in and see what I have for bump stops to order. Everything clears. It's really tight but it...
