Ok so as for that gas tank skid plate i got way back in the beginning...well it didnt fit . SO i took it to my welding class and modified the **** outta it. Now it looks like....







I think it turned out pretty well. FOr my first time welding ha.

Got a little video of a mud hole my friend and i found up on some logging roads so i decided to hit it. In 2 wheel drive. Towards the end you can see a rock i flung, and it hit my friend in the gut. Pretty awesome fun stuff. Ha these tires tho are gonna have to get replaced soon. THey took my MPG's from 18 with the lift to about 10 now :/ and with a highschool budget....that sucks ha oh well its a jeep thing

Got 1.25" wheel spacers to increase the. 5" gap between my tires and leaf springs.
Also made in the usa

Update:

I recently installed 1.25" Wheels Spacers. Name of company is show in last post.



I used this new box of Mountain Dew to hold my brake pedal down so my font wheels wouldnt spill as i torqued down the nuts haha.



And the Final Product.







Helpful hint i learned. Re torque your nuts on the wheels spacers almost every day just so they set in and you dont loose a wheel down the road.

Then i decided to get rid of the swampers cause i recently quit my job and need the fuel economy more then swampers. So i found a Guy in Bremerton, WA, real cool guy and we traded straight across, my 31x 11.5 15 super swampers on stock steelies for his 31" goodyear tracker 2's with 16" Black rock wheels in great shape. Mud terrains for these will be soon. Gonna be getting 305/75/16 mud terrains i think which are like 33 11.5 or 10.5 but they will be sweet. Not sure what tire yet.







Also got a pioneer deck and 4 new pioneer speakers installed in the jeep. Sounds way better then the stock sound system with blown speakers ha.

Thats pretty much it for updates

Also started a roof rack build. Ha im making it out of EMT conduit.

Update for those who even read mine....

Scored tires at a garage sale
200$









Finished my roof rack from welding class...



Getting the top outer edge of my jeep bedlined..so it should look something like this....

Jeep looks real good dude keep up the good work!

Those tires set it off nicely. I like the rack too. Not a huge fan of bedlining like you're going to but that's why its YOUR jeep! Keep up the good work!

Looks sick! Those tires were a score!!! Makes me want to find some 33s for my jeep. I have the exact same year, model and color as you lol.


Are you gonna do anything about fender clearance? I've got 31s right now with the same lift hight, and they tuck perfectly without rubbing. I'd imagine those 33s would need a little bit of room, but they look awesome!!!

$200 for those tires is a steal! Nice rig!

Got the top part of the jeep bedlined. And it turned out so much better than i would have thought.











More pics soon too come!

Relocated my Vacuum canister into the engine bay instead of it being it the front bumper..

Nice build thread. Info on the roof rack?
