Grand Cherokee alternator since summer is coming up and the a/c drains my current. Wilson Fab electric fan conversion. Better cooling while rock crawling. Also already have my jcr steering box spacer. Just need to round up a Durango steering box. Kinda sucks to buy things that don't make it look better but its all good. I'm happy with the lift and tires right now!

I did because I put a new carrier in with new thrust washers and bearings/races. The spiders did a number on my old ones. But I put all that back in before my locker. Pm me if you ever do one in a 35. I've got some helpful hints.

Default Locker Test

Finally got to testing my locker. All I can say is wow. 3WD FTW! Pictures say it better than I ever could so \/\/\/\/\/

Didn't spin at all.
Found some rocks I wanted to get on top of, so I did so!



Next on the list is GC Alternator and Electric cooling from >>>http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/cate...ories/cooling/

Also found where my leaks are coming from while standing under there ^^^. Radiator hose clips. Gonna get some screw ones. Also If I can find a durango steering gear, I'll do that upgrade. If not I'll just replace mine at autozone. It's only money right?

Forked out the Money for 3 row radiator hoses and such. The sand wheeling wasn't kind to my Jeep

More To come: electric fan conversion, then new steering gear.
Possible lower body line painted black

Trying to find some 33's

Radiator went in.

New hoses new t-stat and gasket, Cleaned my heater core (just in time for summer) New heater core valve (friends wifee tried helping and broke the old one ) Stupid thing had the wrong tranny line connection, but i made due.
Fired it up and water went everywhere from my t stat housing after going through 3 gaskets gave up and called it a night.
tried one more in the morning and alas, no seal. Took the housing off and guess what?

Never felt so blind in my life. But i guess my new aluminum one is an upgrade from this pot metal.
Hopin for some better temperatures!!!
Time for some sand wheelin!(with a/c, Go 3 core!)

Got myself some 33 12.5 18's today, they actually look pretty good considering. Played on them and fell in love. Shortly thereafter my lugs decided to leave my rim at 40 MPH. Will post up pics tomorrow. Holy ****, scariest moment of my life. Need a new drum and longer studs. Luckiest man alive right now

Default Reason why you should buy longer studs with bigger rims

Pictures of my fun little accident

It probably thought you were going to go trade it in and took necessary actions. ha ha Hey at least you did it where there were orange cones, how far did you have to chase the wheel?

Haha I could never get what I put into this and I got the Jeep for free. The wheel rolled on the drum for a bit and rolled backwards. Haha
