jyaughn · 09-25-2009, 03:37 PM

i want to build my jeep in too a mud and crawling truck. What should i do first? As of right now it has a 2 inch lift on 31s with the front fenders cut out? where would be a good place to start building it?

depends how hardcore of stuff are you going to do?

jonnyb78 · 09-25-2009, 10:00 PM

skid plates are always a good place to start

grn99 · 09-25-2009, 10:54 PM

Gearing and lockers would be my first "to do". Wish I had done so on mine.

Bumpers, Rocker Guards/Sliders, and a Good Winch

im not going to be going through any major stuff righ now cause this is my everyday driver for now

bsflipfrontflip · 09-26-2009, 12:20 PM

i would go with a bigger lift, sye, and start doing your axles after that.

jyaughn · 09-26-2009, 09:23 PM

where would be the cheapest place to buy a 4.5 or a 6.5 inch lift?

jyaughn · 09-27-2009, 07:32 AM

ill probley just buy a 4.5 inch lift and use my 2 inch spacers for the front and buy some 2 inch blocks for the rear

bsflipfrontflip · 09-27-2009, 01:26 PM

do you plan on going bigger than 6 on the lift?

jyaughn · 09-27-2009, 06:06 PM

not right now. maybe once i get another car and make this one a play toy

bsflipfrontflip · 09-27-2009, 07:11 PM

than the 4.5 should work

jyaughn · 09-27-2009, 07:59 PM
