Hanabanana's LJ Unlimited Build!
Well I guess my addiction started probably when I was around 12-13.
I had this habit of always waving to cars when I was in my mom's van, just trying to be friendly, but no one would ever wave back! But I always noticed those guys without doors waved back, never understood why. I always thought they were the coolest cars on the road and I had to have one. Well, about six years later I'm the guy always waving back! I got a job when I was fifteen so I could start saving up for a wrangler. I never really cared about what model wrangler or year it was, but I knew it had to be BLACK. After gathering up enough money for a fat down payment, I picked up this baby when I was seventeen, completely stock. Lost the dealership photos, but here is what she looked like then (only added a warn bumper): ![]() After my first wheelin' trip, I was hooked. I basically work just to pay for her. Its totally worth it though. First things I did were front and rear warn bumpers, Or-fab rockers, then got a winch. Then I started collecting parts in my room getting things together for my lift... ![]() After saving up more, I bought (5) 35" km2's. (With a 2 month back order...): ![]() Who says five 35's won't fit in your Jeep... Then it was time for the lift. First off I want to thank Jeepforum for connecting me with these two ****ers, because without them I would still have a pile of parts in my room. ScottHarr_TJ (Scott) and rmtomasin (Teezy): Them playing with there "control arms" before we started the lift: ![]() We got started around 8pm on a friday and pulled an all-nighter and got tires mounted up and rollin' around 3 pm Sat. No sleep. ![]() Lift pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() Rear trackbar bracket was a *****. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bumpstops at 3 in the morning are easier with some redline: ![]() Bleeding brakes: ![]() ![]() Currie steering: ![]() ![]() Mounted the 31's so we could fit out of the garage: ![]()

Drum roll...... in Scott's driveway, right after we got them on:
![]() ![]() ![]() Here's how she sits as of this afternoon: ![]() Check back soon for more updates and wheelin' pics! Next mods on deck, within the next month: Detriot rear, lockright front, 4.88's On the list: EBC yellows and centric rotors front, greenstuff pads rear Chromoly Shafts Superior D44 truss RCI Fuel Cell Rokmen TC/T skids Roll cage! Long arms (like I should have done in the first place) Some more aux lights Treks Tubes up front When she's no longer my DD, I'll turn her into a beast w/ maybe an LS2, Atlas 4.3 , 14B FF rear, HPD60 front, 40" Irok's, Double-Tri 4-link rear, 3-link front, Coilovers, etc...

Very nice man, your rig is about what i'm gonna go for when i get the funds. Black out is the awesomeness
![]() Btw, just a suggestion, hit up your gas tank skid with some semi-gloss black primer, it looks really nice. |
