Thanks! Near future mods are to put some rear panel armor, some frame stiffeners, control arm skids, and beef up the tie rod. I also want to install an electric fan and lebaron hood vents to help cool the 4.0.

It's called "Spring Creek", near Georgetown CO and that section is called the Rock Garden.
I actually bought the diff and t-case skid from CSE offroad. Free shipping over $100, and they sent it super fast. Iron Scorpion does ebay the bumper, but since they are in CO, I just called them and picked it up. Nice bumper, just alot of work - even w/the pieces already cut out.

ok sweet, do they still sell that bumper? where did you get your rock sliders?

djlarroc

Yup, they sure do. Here is their site: http://ironscorpion.com/home.html If you buy one of these kits, make sure you can weld. It was alot of work. Btw, I noticed this ad on my local CL: http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/1281339805.html

Since your'e in OR, maybe shipping won't be too bad. I don't know these guys, but I like their front xj bumper.

I bought my sliders from a local guy. I was planning on making them, but was running out of time and still had to work on other stuff on the jeep.

Sorry guys, no action pics from my buddy, but I do have a video!

This was my first time wheeling my jeep since I bought it 6-20-09. It was by far the smallest jeep there on 31s. Everyone in my group had 34s - 37s, and 6"+ of lift. It was a class 7 - 8 trail. Had to stack a rock or 2, but never got stuck My rear main was spitting out oil like crazy. Getting that fixed this wknd.

Hope you enjoy

wow thats pretty cool!! i like those sliders could you possible take some pictures so i can copy them? lol

Well I went to the JY today and picked up a stock fan from another xj. Install was pretty straight forward. I took my time w/the wiring and all and hooked it up to a lighted switch to know when the fan is on. Took me about 2 hours. Should help w/cooling on the trail. I also went to find some Lebaron hood vents but found none. Will hopefully be my next mod.

Dual fans (1 aux, 1 electric)


Wiring from battery to cab and wire tied


Wiring from fan to ground and to accessory on switch

I am crushed that you with held this info from me.

Your spotter, has the same hair cut as you welder.

I am so damn jeoulos of you Colorado boys. I will one day live in that area.

I bet you were not 30 minutes from your house.

I did not see juniors car seat in there. So much for the family bonding thing. lol.

You best send me more vids and pics bro.

Because of the vid, you are forgiven. wink wink

djlarroc

Oh no! You are here! Mods?

Like I said, see what happens when you disappear? "Why can't we be friends?" lol. IFS tippiness was scaring the crap outta me bro (I don't care what they say on YT), and I could not convince myself to spend on the SAS.

I will get you more pics and vids as they come.

Tortis

You have more suppliers for off road parts, thats for sure.

You know, I have spent all this money on my rig, and it is still a street queen.

So what kind of coverage do you carry on your junk, and does your insurance carrier know about your activities?

djlarroc

4:88s and double Aussie'd is NOT a street queen!

Just liability, and comprehensive in case it's stolen. Only my agent knows about the activities. He's a pretty cool guy.

nice setup. may want to double check that that switch is rated enough amps to run the fan

Nice build. I like your bumper. Simple yet still looks tough.

djlarroc

Thanks for the compliments guys!

You know, I did not think of that. Thanks. I have a 40 amp inline fuse right by the battery but did not check the rating on the switch. What rating should I have?
