31's are off. New hubs, inner axle seals, and 33's happen on Friday.

 

33" BFG M/T's are on!

 

Spent 5 hours yesterday putting in new seals for the front axle. Wouldn't normally take that long but the drivers side just didn't want to go in straight. All I can say is...pain in the butt!

 

Is that Mark working with you?

 

yup

 

What is the exact tire size on those 33's

 

285/75/16
They're equal to a 33x11.5

 

Perfect they look awesome so im trying to source out a wheel and tire combo just like yours. Great build man.... Lots of inspiration for my own

 

Thanks for the compliment! It's been a slow 4 years with a little happening here, and then a little more there, but I think I'd rather it be like that than all at once.

 

I agree, half the fun is actually building them when they are build and there its nothing left, boredom kicks in lol jk then its play time which is usually followed by fixing something haha

 

Well, the passenger axle seal is still leaking, so I get to tear into it all over again. Yay.

On another note, swapped rear seats with Red82 so he now has the ZJ 60/40 rear seat set up and I'm back to the standard XJ bench. Why get rid of the 60/40?
1. I like simplicity and the bench is simpler.
2. A friend wanted the 60/40 and I could help him get it for free by swapping with him
3. I never utilized the 60/40 as much as I thought I would. I always ended up folding down both sections, so the bench just makes more sense for me.

 

HaHa I love the build looks kinda like mine. But you've done quite a bit more, Im kinda limited on funds and its hard to get anything in Hawaii. I'm going to be following this alot

Heres my build for comparison haha, https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/pr...alypse-138830/

In the army so I cant play with my jeep anytime I want

 

Trust me, funds are limited for me as well. It's been a little over 4 years of building this thing and it's no where near complete. Most of what I've gotten is either bargain shopping off CL or the PnP, building it myself, or just bartering with friends.

 

That blows about the seal, it may be worth trying to find the tool used to seat the seals. When I did both of mine, I got to borrow the dealership tool, its a nifty little thing. Presses them both in at the same time using two creseant wrenches, worked perfect for me.

 

May have to look into that if I can't get it to seat correctly tomorrow.
