Anyways, here's some pics from yesterday.
Had such a blast even though we got stuck and took us so many hours of shoveling. Luckily a ZJ was hitting the trail when he saw us and pulled us out.






And here is the stuck pictures/recovery.

 

Finally, went to the JY yesterday and picked up a new front left fender flare and some mounting brackets.

 

Haven't posted in a while, but still got a few things done. Fixed my rear passenger seat belt.



Installed some discos instead of running it without the front sway bar.


Then installed my $20 new front skid.



Lift kit coming very very soon!

 

Looks good! What lift are you going with?

 

The RE 3.5" Superflex. It's still sitting in Chicago waiting for me to put it on. I'm so anxious!

 

My pinion bearing is shot on the 8.25, so I picked up another one for $50.
After I brought it home, I refinished the axle and made it look as good as new.



I also replaced and extended the breather vent tubing.

 

Done for tonight, but the axle is out and the shackles are disconnected from the rear. Sorry for the bad pics, but it's dark out.

 

Had so much fun getting the front leaf spring bolts out! $#!*

Anyways, the lift is on. Now all I have left to do is the pull the broke shock bolt in the rear, install the extended brake line, tc drop...and eventually buy some new tires.

The blue is just painters tape so I wouldn't mess up the Jeep logo on the center caps when I was touching up the wheels.

 

Paint it blue. The painters tape looks kinda good.

 

Haha the blue would look so goofy!

 

Well, I'm waiting for parts so we decided to give it a nice cleaning. I have to say, I have never seen my Jeep this clean.

 

man thats a sweet jeep and u know what is funny i painted my rims that same dark gray love the jeep and
WOOT for colorado

 

Dude, I think the graphite is such a perfect color! I absolutely love wheelin in Colorado. Too bad I'm in IL all summer. I can't wait to hit the trails with this lift when I get back.

 

Umm, Your lower control arms are on upside down.

The Axle side joint is off-set so that it doesn't hit the Shock mount.

 

Haha wow. I had a feeling it was wrong. Thanks TheDale.
