Thanks!


Should also post that I now have the proper voltage regulator to run the ZJ 136amp alt in my Renix, part number VR101. Huge thanks to Ryan(builtnotbought89') for making THIS write up!

 

I like what you have done so far! Keep it up.

 

Thank you! I plan on it!



Just a couple updates. In the process of installing new front axle seals, axle u-joints, rear axle seals, and a few other odds and ends in preparation for the next wheeling adventure. The wheel base will also be receiving a stretch via control arms I found in the for sale section on here.

 

The new control arms were a great upgrade and made the wheelbase about 1.5" longer. I enjoyed beating on the Jeep this past weekend. Happy to report that there were no major issues. More dents, broken tail light, broken grill, and a other trail damage happened(tried hard not to get it). Trees are hard avoid to on some trails at Redbird, especially when sloppy like it was. Fortunately I don't have to dump any more money into it before wheeling again. A locker would be nice! Here is a few pics with my rig from the weekend.

Finally producing a shot of the new-to-me control arms. The uppers are fixed IronMan4x4 and the lowers are adjustable Rough Country.

And of course they are crappy cell pics....

I am flexing in the second pic, if you were wondering.





Money well spent. I'm very happy with the upgrade.

 

Hood pins installed to replace the cable release latch that was on it's last leg. I like the end result much better than I thought I would.



Wheeling Badlands this weekend. Pretty damn pumped!!

 

very clean man! looks great!

 

Thanks! My Jeep seems to progressively get less "clean".

 

Mine was never " clean " but I did just give her a good ol washin for this weekend.

 

Gotta have a clean Jeep to wheel! I'm pumped, Justin!

 

Some pics from my Badlands adventure. Broke the rear axle yoke once and sheared the u-joint band bolts. So, I lost rear drive twice. Fixed the first break in the quarry, and loaded on the trailer the second. It was a chilly day for wheelin, but a damn good one! Saw some great rigs, met a new face or two, continued to evolve my off road driving skills, and wheeled hard. Thinking i need to lock a diff someday...

 

Lookin like alot of fun

 

nice pics man!

 

Very much so!

Thanks! I am sure its the same for you, you miss some of the best pics because you are too busy wheelin. There are some more HERE

 

I was doing some light wheelin on a friend's property, when....



Looks like the retaining bolt/pin for the center pin backed out allowing the center pin to spin and wear until it broke. I am tired of breaking this D35. Hope to find a C8.25 29spline with 3.07s soon. If I can't buy one for a good price I'll fix mine.
