Because this is her first lifted vehicle and I wanted her to get a feel for it lifted before I took off the sway bars. The front is off now and the rear doesnt limit her in anyway so I just havent got around to taking it off.

She actually said she can feel a big difference now with the stiffeners. Going through off camber obstacles and around corners she said she feels alot safer and more in control of the Jeep

Was a great day for wheelin and for a last minute thing, we had a decent sized group.






Everyone got through without breaking anything. Few new battle scars but nothing wrong with that lol her doors can actually open and close now while being flexed out too

****s gay.
When are we wheeling?

LanesRide

Someone jealous? Lol

Whenever you join the club lol we've been pretty good about posting up our trail rides. We're talking about making a trip to mabell or something before the end of the season. The trails we go on are great for local spots but they don't beat mabell or raush creek

Luke95

I'd like to go on a ride and meet some people before i do join if that's ok?

LanesRide

Yeah that's cool. It's a great group of people, always helping each other out. A couple guys own a fabrication shop, they're the ones that did the stiffeners.

Here's a couple buggys that are in the club

Cool I am around a good bit so pm me when you go.

Brought it to the garage yesterday to tighten the belt and recharge the A/C. That all went fine and dandy, but I had more time to kill. So I ended making some 0ga battery cables to replace the cruddy original ones and got some marine battery terminals to go with them. Then I tore out the trailer harness and fixed her weird light issue. Shes never going to tow anything anyway but I took it out neatly just incase.

I saved the old battery cables to compare but forgot to take pictures. Will grab some next time Im at the garage

LanesRide

Took it to my friends garage who donated his spare alternator to her cherokee since hers was making it sound like a spaceship lol

With the torrential down pours we're getting, I decided to just take her jeep home and to work today. I do like the ride compared to the YJ but I still feel more in control in the YJ. And between the wobble and crappy traction on the road, these swampers gotta go!

LanesRide

Figured I'd snap a quick pic of the battery cables on lunch break.


I have to pick up some more lugs to finish off the fender ground but I made sure I took care of the important ones first.

Then I took it through the trail by my work that I take my YJ through all the time. I gotta say, these things are really smooth

LanesRide

Been awhile since I posted. She's just been driving it. Other than putting my 60" Hi lift on her roof rack, haven't done anything else to it


But I'm starting to think about Christmas now and I'm trying to get ideas of things I can get her. I know I'm going to get her a solid front diff cover and a CB setup. Other than that I'm not too sure. Possibly one of those cubby hole subs and an amp.

Any suggestions?

LanesRide

Not much for updates. We've been out wheelin a bunch but havent had to do a lot of work to it. We did get some maintenance done for winter though. Did an oil change, air filter, drained and filled her front/rear diffs and tcase.

We're both getting tires by xmas and we're both going up to 35s. Not positive on what tire yet, still deciding.

We went to the Crawl for a Cure show in Mass. and won some awesome prizes at the raffle. We got a Smittybilt tow strap, Rugged Ridge 3.5" LED lights and an all paid for 3 day weekend in Maine to go wheelin at the Warrior Salute event!

Its not until August so we have plenty of time to prep. Theres a list of things but some of the bigger mods other than 35s would be at least one locker, 1 ton steering, relocators and rockers

Luke95

Sup dick?
Wheeling trip next Sunday.
Also check the build.

LanesRide

Picked up the materials from a friend to make a new cross member so we can long arm the front, just have to order the hardware and joints. Probably going to end up making our own steering too. Also ordering 35" KM2s this week.

Ill try posting some pictures from our last wheelin trip
