New guy with a few questions

[H322]

I have owned my h3 for alittle while now It rode horrible with the t bars cranked so today I added trail duty extended bump stops also 4 new pro comp shocks. I am also wanting to clean the maf sensor what is the best thing to clean it with? Also removed my spare tire and carrier. Has anyone plugged the holes with anything or know where to find something that will look halfway decent? Also plan in ordering a new set of upper a arms with new ball joints my upper ball joints looked dry rotted anyone have any good recommendations on those?

For cleaning the MAF, just go to any auto store and buy MAF cleaner, or go to lowes/home depot and get some electronics cleaner (Ideal brand).

For the rear tire mount a lot of people are using a lasagna pan (like the one you cook lasagna in) and drilling holes for bolts and then painting it and bolting it on. A search on the forum for "lasagna" should get you more info.

For the upper A-arms just get some from Autozone or somewhere, you can't replace just the ball joints on them. I don't think anyone has a real preference on these, but I could be wrong.

try rockauto.com or 1aauto.com they both have good prices and 1aauto has a good warenty and stands behind there warranty. Some things have a live time warranty check them out.
and they ship most times in 3 days free

After removing the spare bracket.........FASTENAL has 10 MM stainless ALLEN head bolts with stainless washers that look just fine. I tried the lasagna pan ( made nice "standoffs" to keep it away from the paint ). Wasn't happy with the way it looked and just went to the stainless bolts.

I built my own with a lasagna pan and painted it and thru a sticker on it

Why not plug the holes with a domed rubber or plastic plug? How about using a bolt with a rounded head and allen wrench slot in the middle? Look at the following link for ideas, I'm not sure what size you would need, maybe 3/8"?

I'd paint that vent with white plastic dip spray paint as well, if I were you.

There are a lot of things I would do to my rig, bolting a lasagna pan onto it is not one of them. Why would you want to remove a spare tire?

I myself did not want to do the lasagna pan only because I am wanting more of a sleek look that is why I removed my spare. I am also installing 22x14 fuels with 35" mt's. Which probably won't be everyone here's cup of tea, but that's ok with me. The lasagna pan is a good cheap easy mod that looks good imo. I also understand where you are coming from to each their own

I'm glad the same things aren't everyone's cup of tea, or we would all have identical rigs
