Decided that with the new tires i would need a trim so tore into the front and rear. Ended up cutting too high on the rears so i had to do some bondo work to get it almost nice again.
- My sway bar link are rubbing against my coils but i think it is because my axel is shifted forward slightly... i plan on making some disconects soon and dropping the sway bar bracket down some.
i thought i had some pics of the jeep as it sits now but io dont i will get them up tom.
to add on...
-added 2 inch pucks up front and longer shackles in rear.... plan on making my own relocation boxes for the shackles as they have a poor angle.
- next its making enough money to get my JY D44 regeared and get that put in. Then i plan on doing the ORO U-turn kit and beefing up the D30.
- Im in the process of welding up a front bumper right now but its a bit more difficult than my rinkydink brush guard.
- got rid of the trim on the sides and painted because it was starting to fall off anyways. AndI figured i would be like everybody else and mount my tires on black soft 8's.... but hey their cheap and they look good.
As you can see it took a little bit of weight to balance the tires....:laugh:
Tires look wierd because they are turned a little.... And that stock steering setup wont be there for too much longer....
Followed FitchVA's writeup to come up with this .... i only use the first few switches as of now but i imagine i will find use for the others soon.....
Everything has held up pretty well. However, i only did mild offroading nothing too extreme. I really didnt want to break anything. I think if i did anything too hard i would run into breaking axels and for sure bending my tie rod. As for armor i plan on a TC sklid and a gas tank skid, as well as trans. And when i beef of the D30 and put the D44 in im going to armor those up as well. Once i get my long arms together i plan on doing frame stiffeners too, but money is a big factor so that all wont be happening for a little while yet.
Rufusing to get left out of the Mod-O-2009 party, i decided to jump on the bandwagon and do the cowl snorkel/ cold intake mod. Just fnished it up today. Tom. i plan on routing all the breather tubes higher. And once i get some extra time throw some axel seals on.
well when i bought the jeep i could drive all day i hot summer heat and never go above 210*. but with it getting a little older i decided it was time for some heat managment so i decided to throw some vents on
got them from the junkyard:
total investment- 4$ for vents
1$ for bolts
i didnt want anyhting too big ... just enough to be functional
they are acctually front grill inserts off of a pontiac grand prix
I'd list it up pretty high, maybe $4000. You can always bargain down, but you can't go up.... Sounds like an awesome Jeep and I'm sorry to hear your sellin it. Good luck!
