Yeah, we jumped it and let the battery charge up yesterday. Had to put her in neutral to start it, but whatever. So she started up, and i drove her around to the front yard, and then i went back out literally about a minute later to move her back and the battery was drained and i got the clicks

found a 2" fat bob's garage bb lift on craigslist for $75, would do for now...

The clicking is actually coming from your starter. If it's stuck or doesn't have enough power it will click. The starter and alternator are pretty close to each other so it can seem like it's coming from the alt but it's the starter. If you look down there and see alot of oil built up on the starter chances are it's bad. But you can take the alternator out and take it to an auto parts store and they will test it for you for free.

The alt is most likely your problem this time.

I would hope it was not the starter, that was relaced a few years ago! But yeah, ill try to get the alternator out and tested

Alright, so new lift plans. Im gonna get a 2" bb lift off craigslist for $75, then hopefully by the end of this summer, ill get a 3.5" rubicon express lift, making a total of 5.5", then im gonna get 33x12.50-R15 baja claws

You should just save and run the 33s on just the 3.5in lift.

Yea they'll fit lol I'm planing on 33s on my peiced together 3.5 kit

sc_jeeper

I would, but i want plenty of flexing room, plus my worst fear is rubbing

Without trimming the fenders?

NewJerseyXJ609

They would be sweet on a 3.5 you see my 33s and I have a 3 inch lift. You don't have to trim all that much, but you do have to trim to make it work

I love the way yours sits, looks so good. But, im afraid if i trim, im gonna f*ck it up and then im screwed haha, lets just say im not the bet with an angle grinder

cleenrob

i did the front on mine with an angle grinder with a thin cutoff wheel and i did just fine. i still havent done the rear tho but ill still use the grinder

sc_jeeper

Im considering trimming, but im like the most paranoid person ever haha, and plus, i have worse luck then bad luck brian

NewJerseyXJ609

Lmao!

Well the front is always easy bc you can trim a tiny bit and if it comes out bad you just do it over. Plus you can always get new fenders If it's that bad... The rears are another story. I was scared to do them but I stayed confident and they came out really good luckily. You just have to take your time. You'll get past that phase tho you'll see.

sc_jeeper

Yeah, eventually ill get the guts to do it! Haha, I'll just follow along the stock flares and hope I do it right! Do you know a good write up on the cut and fold?

cleenrob

Lol
