Nice! I am probably just going to weld my rear diff for now lol. It isn't my DD or anywhere near it, it is a toy that I drive when I want to go off-road, so, I figure it should be fine for now. Plus, I'm cheap lol. I do plan on getting a locker for the front at some point though.

CreepCherokee

gotta get a working tranny in it too!

yay! my RC 4.5 lift comes TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! and of course the new clarion deck.! gotta take my two chidlets to the dentist in a few min. then start tearing out the stock suspension, so when Mr. UPS gets here i can get straight to work installing the lift.....
now i just need some 31's-33's so it wont look all goofy for to long.

LOL im cheap too......i wanted bumpers, sliders n a rack so i bought a welder instead . and if you got the turdy five id say go for it especially in a trail rig....itll last. i got a buddy who welded his two years ago and beat the living **** outta his Heep, well till it blew up. im hopin to get this Aussie locker tho, itd be SICK!!!! downside is my Heep is my DD so....cant really break it

Right on!!! im thinking it wont be long until im in your neck of the woods, cant wait to see the Jeep with the new lift, or if you want some help let me know....... im getting 32's for my Heep soon, you wanna buy my 31's? got 5 of em....dick cepek wild cats i think, got like 50% tread, except for my spare, cant remember what brand it is at the moment....oh and i got some bar pin eliminators for the front too if ya want em...

lol ya i had to cut the all the u bolts and the front driver side bolt on the rear leaf when i did mine, well i cut the whole spring out but ya helped a little to take a torch to the spring. i also had to torch out the sway bar studs for my disco's, what a PITA.

OH! and my Bush Wacker's got here friday, will be installing them today...ill post pics on my build thread...

That is my plan as well lol.

Yep, pretty much just a trail rig and it is a turdy five. I do plan on a locker in the front at some point, but that won't be until I have more money.


We tried to get the front bolts out of the leaf spring and decided that it could stay there. All of the U bolts weren't too bad on it, the worst bolts were the upper shackle bolts. They almost didn't come out, but we kicked it's ***.

I'll be looking! I love the Bushwhacker flares.

ya its funner to make your own **** anyways and ya my buddies welded turdy would still be going if he hadnt thrown a rod, its amazing what that axle will take as long as you tires arent too big. he was runnin my old 31's on a 3" lift tho so....

and ya i did new leafs packs cuz i bought my Heep with AAL's so didnt have that option, and was lazy on the u-bolts since i had new ones lol...i had a problem with the the shackle bolts too tho...torch did the trick.

and ya we will see how they go on since my fenders are trimmed n the front n folded in the rear already

so if i was in the Hamilton area this week would you and your bud be able to go wheelin?

I will be running 31's and ~2" of lift, so it should be fine. Also, I love to build my own stuff, it is cheaper and you can say that it is YOURS and you did it yourself. Just much more satisfying.

We used a propane torch on the lower control arms to get those ones broke loose. We did the rear first and I didn't really think of the torch until we got to the front.


Yep, and if you come on a Wednesday or Thursday I might be able to get another friend to go too. I won't be able to take my Jeep, but James' will be ready to go.

ya you should be fine, doubt you'll even blow up your turdy hehe
and ya i made my roof rack a couple weeks ago and im lovin it. next up is sliders......plus i got a buddy who works at CDA metals so i get my metal CHEAP. i got 60 ft of 1'' square tube for my rack and it cost me like $35....

ya i used a torch for alot of it. i didnt install the extended bumpstops though so im always unseating the spring in the front and stretchin my brake line so....need new brake lines good thing my fenders are trimmed or my tires would be all muffed up.


alright, im thinkin of headin over wednesday, but need a place to crash. i could call my bud Jesse or bring a tent i guess...or just sleep in the Heep...

tannerp89

well i got my BushWacker's on after some persuasion and lots of cutting and i dunno if i like em.....kinda have mixed feelings . they stick out a little far past my tires and plus they make my 31's look tiny I hope they grow on me, cuz if not thats $350 down the tube and now i have holes in my body

the "friend is tyler" and this is the Yoda (toyota) he drives.

tannerp89

HAHA should i put on my yota yanker sticker on? hows that thing do wheeling? and its BRIGHT!

lol looks funny....like it needs some 31's hehe

1lowscort

DO IT!!! One thing for sure about wheelin' with him...He isn't hard to find, at all.

Exactly!

the_mutt

Could that possible be Tyler Shwarts? If so that would be funny... He and my brother used to be friends in high school. Only reason why I think that it is him is because of that house looks like his families but i could be wrong
