Got me JCR stage two sliders in. I will paint them hopefully tommorow, and they will be in by the weekend.


With this week's paycheck I'm buying IRO LA's and the next one will be going towards a d44a and 4.56's. Then the one after that will be a T case skid and maybe diff covers depending on how crazy I want to get with this thing. Stay tuned, the heep will be getting beefed up and hopefully wheeled this sunday if everything goes according to plans.

It was nice to see your WJ in person, it gave me a good idea of what to expect from my build. Keep the good work coming!

Hmm, I wonder which axle these are for. Give you a hint, it's not a dana 35



Also ordered some IRO long arms. Hopefully I'll get them by the end of the week and get them in sunday.

I've been through too much with my WJ to ever let it go. If I came to the point in life where I needed the money, I would put it back to stock and sell all the aftermarket stuff.

Get them powedercoated black, I got mine done by a guy right in your backyard for dirt cheap! He did a great job too, let me know if you want his number. He'll media blast too for real cheap if you want to go that route.

^ Yea I'm considering it, but it's a comsetic thing so it's at the bottom of the to do list

Just some pics of the IRO long arms I put in a week ago



Just an FYI on their bracket. As you can see in the next pic, the adjuster is just barely past the minimum it will go. My caster is about 4.1* so there is plenty of room for adjustment. Also note the ****ty DT8000 shock that is leaking badly (RE monotubes are ordered)



And yes, my driveshaft is missing. The carlina one I had made at 3" on stock arms was way too short. I have a TW one waiting to go in once I rebuild it (thanks to the ****ty seller I got it from)

Sick ride, can't believe I've never seen it around.

I would say to look out for me, but the only thing that sets my ride apart from every other black Overland is the Thule bike rack.

Thanks. It's a small world eh? I'll keep an eye out but it's hard to decipher WJ's from another when most have soccer moms behind the wheel

I also mounted the hi lift up on the cargo rack the other day. No more rattling around inside the heep.

How'd you mount that? It's an interesting solution. I've never seen anyone do it like that before.
