Thats right! Won't take long for that to change.

So many new parts!! i can't wait to put them on!

Well it's been awhile since I've posted in here.

The new lift is on. IRO 4" coils, 3.5" leafs and 1.5" shackle.

Got some new D window rims on finally.

Currently finishing the sound system. 6.5" speakers in the rear in a pre 97 soundbar. 5.25" in the front doors. 1100 watt 5 channel amp, and a 12" sub.

Still need to get an SYE for it. In the next couple weeks I'll be ordering 35s. Either KM2s or MT/Rs. Will also be building another set of axles to handle the 35s better.

Front will be a sleeved, trussed, and gusseted D30 with stock axleshafts, Spartan locker, and 4.10s. Probably will be a ruffstuff diff cover as well. I have a 3.73 D30 from an upcountry to make this out of.

Rear will be a Ford 8.8 with LSD that is currently 3.73 gears as well. This i have ruff stuff conversion kit with double shear shock tabs. Will also be getting a ruffstuff diff cover.

Lot's to be done this year on the Jeep! I slacked off majorly this past year since I bought a motorcycle.

Here's a pic in it's current state.

I love the stance....you got shackle relocation brackets?

kuzican

Thanks man! I'm hoping it'll look even meaner with 35s. I do not have SRBs. I was planning on getting them, but my shackle angle is actually pretty good right now.

kuzican

Stuff has changed. As usual.

Current state

No front or rear bumper.


Once work picks up more and bills are paid I'll be able to do a few things.

Been trying to do a lot of little TLC stuff to clean up/fix my Jeep.

Air filter
Front and rear o2 sensors (NTK)
Sealed up some exhaust leaks
Replaced relays on the putco harness
Went back over lift hardware and tightened some bolts that managed to get a little loose
Replaced/moved some bulbs in the cluster
Attempted to replace the blower motor resistor but apparently my old one was broke too
A few other small things

Still to do:
Replace plug behind passenger side tail light
RMS/oil pan gasket
Oil change
Clean valve cover, inspect valvetrain
Replace the seals on the VC bolts
Replace CCV seals



Coming soon:

kuzican
