Sooooo.........its been a while XN! I don't have any pictures to add at the moment, but a lot has been done to the X in the last year and a half or so. So, let me reach through the cobwebs and see what all I can remember.
Engine Swap: Everything has been fine since the swap. No issues out of it, running fine and performing good apart from the usual maintenance.
Alternator: Upgraded to the Quest alternator and it is doing fine. With plans to add more electrical accessories in the future, I felt this would be a good upgrade and happy with it so far. Also, with the mud and occasional swim, I periodically spray it down with a waterproof silicone spray (I believe its the WD40 brand that I use)
Hood vent: I used an aluminum soffit vent from Lowes ($3) and placed it in the rear center section of the hood. I cut out two sections from the hood and the two outer parts were able to cover this. I didn't make it any bigger because the support runs down the middle. Helped run a little cooler temp and vent definitely works as I can feel the heat coming out of it.
E-fans: I originally had one fan on the front of the radiator and that was it. However, I added a second fan under the hood to one side of the vent (albeit its about a 5" hole and I used a 10" fan i had laying around). The hood fan is wired into an existing harness that I had for an old set of lights, so it turns off with the key off, but the radiator fan is direct to the battery so I can have it on when the vehicle is off while I'm on the trail or parked. However, I may add the radiator fan to the hood fan wiring (originally used for two lights, so there is an extra plug in available) and then rewire it directly off the battery to be able to run both of them constantly.
Leaf springs: Broke the third leaf down on a total of 3 different packs. Not sure how or why, probably from over flexing. The current springs have held up fine with the setup I did. Took the main leaf off one of the old sets, cut the eyes off and shortened it, it is now the third leaf down. Effectively raised the rear about 3/4".
Tires: Went through two different sets of tires since my last update. The first set were Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlars, staying at 31x10.50-15. they performed good and I was really happy with them. I can't recall the mileage i got out of them, but they had a bit of life left still when I swapped them out. It currently is sitting on 33x10.50-15 Dick Cepek Extreme Country's. I've only had the tired since early March but so far impressed with them. Had to trimmed the front fender slightly (plastic trim was already removed), and removed the rear plastic corners. Did turn the front torsion bars up about an inch and with the rear spring packs I built, it does fine. Tires still rub but other than that no other issues.
Hitch flip: Did the hitch flip mod, but without the body lift. Had to trim a lot, but for the trade off of not bouncing my hitch off everything, it was well worth it.
Other mods I've done include limb risers, new LED pods on the front bumper, new CB radio (Cobra 29LTD Classic, peaked and tuned by local CB shop), rear Dep molle panel, roof rack mount for Hi-Lift Jack.
Future plans include to add some type of lighting to the inside of the hatch, and definitely upgrade the shocks. Also need to add rear bumpstops. I have new ones and attempted to put them on, but broke the very first bolt on the stock ones that I hit with the impact gun and called it quits. Also need to replace my rockers, I have the replacement ones, but may be looking at going a different route with them. Another will be a winch mount on the frame rails behind my narrowed lower section of bumper (trimmed to just barely be wider than the frame rails), or build a new bumper completely.
As far as wheeling and trips go, no major trips have been taken. This past February I did drive to Dayton, Ohio to the off-road expo where I won "most trail carnage" for a dent I got in the fender trail riding with a buddy. Haven't ventured out very far from my local area for any rides, but have had some good rides with my club and found some spots that I have really been impressed with how well the X has performed.
Will try to update this more often again, and try to add more pictures with them as well!
