last time i checked, 2 weeks ago, i was gettin 11.1- wonder what it is now with 35's....

 

took the jeep up on the mountain today with my buddy. Left the front sway bar hooked up because i havent made bumpstops for it yet. Rear was rubbing on my bumper so i took a sawzall to it afterwards.
-amazing what difference new tires make, i can go places in 2 wheel that i normally have to throw it into 4-low for
the blazer has a 4" lift with 35's, my jeep is sitting at 6.5" with 35's
the last picture is of it before with 33's, my front swaybar was still hooked up because i have not made bumpstops for the front yet

 

Nice pics Zach those 35"s stuff nicely!

Ya I'm gonna give the third row a shot.

 

Sweet rig man

 

so how was everyones sunday? hopefully it wasnt as crazy as mine lol

this is how mine went.....
noon- went to my friends house and chilled till 2
2pm went down to his friends shop to work on the jeep
3pm worked on the jeep
4 "
5 "
6 "
7 " and ordered pizza
8 "
9 "

ok that getting boring lol so i finally left the shop at 1:10 am im so drained and sore as hell. I cut off my old plate i had on there temporary and put a new one on both inside and out heres some pics

35s and unibody.... not a good idea





New plate on the outside....


installing...


partially installed



so after 11+ hours of welding grinding cutting and swearing from sparks in the hair and pinching my fingers between the gear box and frame, oh and not to mention i had to get a new box since the threads on my old one were striped to hell but finally i got it done!!!!!!




now all i can say is
Little moab here I come

 

Nice mike, that's looking solid! Did you get any pics of the inside plate?

 

I just got my jeep. And your pics make me scard to take mine off to see what it may look like ha ha is there away to see if there is any damage without taking the streeing off ?

 

Zach, the Grands lookin sick on those 35's!
Mike, glad to see your going to be back in business!
I hope to see both you guys out next weekend, by the sounds of it we're going to do little moab. If the weathers half as nice as it was last weekend we'll be golden.

 

If you do have damage you can ussualy tell by looking at the outer side of the unibody where the three steering gear bolts are. If your running bigger than 31" tires its a good idea to reinforce the uni before you start having problems. Right Mike? LOL!

 

Take a peek at the inside of the "frame" behind the steering box. If its ripping it starts there I believe

 

you have a grand right? if you do then you really dont need to worry ive herd the grands dont have that problem (unless your zach ). if you have a cherokee it will be pretty obvious you will start seeing hair line crack(s) about where the box is. all i can say is fix the problem before it even happens, go get your self a steering box brace their not that expensive mine was 60 from 4wheel parts

 

nope lol i got to tired to lol it was 11 when that got put on. but the bolts i used are 4.5" instead of 4 and the worked perfectly i even reused the factory spacer for temporary

 

I got a xj and ill just build my own

 

correct this is what id recommend....
31's you should be fine just look at a brace down the road
33's id be ordering a brace soon
35's hope you already have a brace on there and start bracing the body theirs kits out there that make it easier plating

 

Yes i get the 6000th post lol
