Nice WJ!
|
looks good! imo it would look better with different wheels with different backspacing
|
Thanks AeroSynch.
Power73. You're right on the wheels, but I have to take baby steps to get approval from the misses. |

Didn't take me long to add a basket for the spare.
First trip -- Mt Baldy, stopped at 11, 400. I tried using factory crossbars but they bounce/flex too much. Guess I'll go with Yakima crossbars. Only small issue at full flex with the 245/75/17 there is a tiny bit of rubbing front and rear in the wheel well. Can be easily trimmed I'm guessing or maybe add an inch?? Attachment 133995 |
Nice WJ dude. I like seeing the WJs in the forums. They are far and few between. I custom building my WJ. Been working on mine for several months. Nice job man. I like it.

Thanks RichW. Seemed to work flawlessly today.

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll look at bump stop extensions next.
It never ends, does it? |

Looks sweet! How do you like those duratracs?
|
The trails were loose gravel, not very many large rocks to go over. The DuraTracs held very well in the loose stuff though.
|
How do you like the ride quailty of the 2.5 OME's paired up with the Bilsteins? Any shake or death wobble issues?
|
It definitely rides better than stock. Seems pretty smooth. Tracks straighter than it did as stock. I also replaced the steering stabilizer. Overall, I like it.
