EB Customs "JK6"

cbrjeeper · Jul 16, 2019

Yea the factory harness cut down still has some drawbacks. Mine is running on the tune it was sent with. Soso.. I haven't found a tuner in my area either. I want to switch mine to aftermarket. Thanks for the info. Going to chocco soon, so I may schedule something with lane Culver.

Not necessarily disappointed in the quality of the product, but in it's ability to self learn. Those types of systems need to be run a lot in order to learn, which is kind of difficult in an off road only rig. Probably going to take some time for it to smooth out.

Look into the Gold box ECM MS3 by mirco squirt, It's not self learning but it is quality and the couple of tuners I talked to say it is very friendly to tune.

Thanks guys. I'm kinda proud of that shop myself.

I've prowled this website for years and I have always thought you have done an incredible job. On par with any professional shop I've seen (I'm no expert). Would love to see you build a full tube chassis tacoma. Would love to see your take on how to bob the bed and exo.

Well, I finished it last year. On its maiden voyage it dropped oil pressure and the motor had to go back to the machine shop. Turned out to be a cam bearing walked out and was rubbing the lifter.
Since the motor was back out, I swapped the FiTech for Edelbrock Pro Flo, changed the headers to Sanderson and redid the exhaust, changed mufflers and added a second pump for the hydro boost.
I've wheeled it once (maybe twice?) since then.
It's been sitting in the trailer for the past several months. Got it out during the snowstorm. Battery was dead and tires almost flat.
It's sitting in the shop now, waiting to get wired for a battery charger before it goes back in the trailer.

That's a rough first outing!
