Well, finished the bumper completely before Thanksgiving and then took it out to the Mounds on Thanksgiving. Didn't get any good pictures because my girlfriend decided it was too cold for her to take any I think.






If anyone likes the bumper, PM RDK_YJ88 as I'm sure he would be interested in making more.

 

Some pics of the t-case skid. It's not finished yet.




3/16" thick and going to do some tube work on it.

 

Got some new tires...37" km2's on 17" beadlocks. Got a spare also, so guess I might have to build a rear bumper.




Installed my new rock sliders made by RDK_YJ88. Won't have to worry about further damaging my rockers anymore.



8 bolts to the frame rail and 4 bolts to the pinch seam on each side.

 

Were you the one I pulled out at the mounds and you slammed into the back of my XJ?

 

Yup that's me. Thanks again for pulling me out before I got stuck until warm weather. And sorry he backed into you, he didn't realize I had no parking brake and he didn't think of slamming it into drive. I just recently fixed the broken brake lines.

 

No big deal man its just a dent. Good deal glad you got it all fixed.

 

Installed a new PSC steering box and hydro assist so I can turn easily. Hard to get a great pic of the ram, but you get the idea.



Then took it on a test trip to the Mounds on Sunday with RDK_YJ88 and another buddy of ours. I only have a couple poser pics that I took with my phone. My fiancee has the "few" other pics she took.









Looks like it is time for a new windshield...

Ran good all day with no disappointments other than smashing my windshield.

 

You need to air down more. And finish that tcase skid. Oh and your windshield has a crack.

 

 

any updates??

 

Nice rig. Definitely looks like your not afraid to take it out and play!!

 

Just that hydro steering was added and currently up north wheeling it.

Thanks, and no not afraid anymore.

 

We'll see about that on Monday

 

Since my electric fan was on it's way out for a second time, I decided to order the Dirtbound Offroad Electric Fan Conversion Kit. Installed it yesterday and finished wiring it up today. Install was easy and wiring was simple once I figured out how I wanted to do it. I didn't get a fan controller with it as I wanted to wire two fans to come on with key and the other fan to be wired to a switch. Other than zip tying off some of the wiring it's ready for a test run.

 

Dewd, I didn't know you lived in wheeling distance from me! I know you rolled, but cage that sucker and lets friggen wheel!
