Project Whatever finally gets up and rolling this weekend

After 6 years out of the wheelin world I bought a cherry 05 TJ and spent the next 9 months saving my clams to get it rollin and on its way to what I wanted.

Following are the pix from day one until this weekends finish of part 1 of the build.


Day 1





Tires deliverd

Looks great. Can't wait to get my 35"s

What axles/gears do you have? How do the 35"s feel with them? Did you need to install the TC drop or SYE/CV DS?

I ask because I'm starting with my 06 Wrangler X with D30/35 combo and 3.07s(i believe) and my first stage is going to be similar to yours save for 33"s instead of 35"s.

Its on a D30/D44 combo with 3.73's and it has NO problem haulin booty

I did the BL/MML with the hopes of not dropping the T-case but I do have some vibes so I'll drop it later today until I can afford an Atlas or Stak case and D-line. Should be fine once I do the TCD.

Also, As soon as I can I'll gear and lock these axles but I am on the prowel for either a D44 front or a set of 60's to cut and fit into the TJ.

IF I go 60's I'll end up sitting on 38's as a rule but thats a fair piece down the trail I'm sure.

Did the case drop and all vibes are gone

Had to clearance the shifter console but that was no big deal.

Just used google trackting and my rock sliders show to be "out for delivery"
