Thanks.

 

you will love the lift, what shocks did you go with? and yea ive read on here all jeeps are different when it comes to needing an SYE or not so i didnt order one until i put the lift on to see if i had any issues and i had none.

 

did the angry eye mod lol, 2 coats of nightshade, light shines through just fine.



here i am compared to my brothers again



and a little winter beach riding....

 

then it was time to fix the oil leak. i started losing a lot of oil from the valve cover. this fixed it right up. pretty expensive gasket $46

 

here are the most recent pics of the jeep i have taken. decided i was done with the all black and green and removed the plastidip from the wheels. i think it breaks it up better. probably going to sand them down and repaint them the factory color when i get new tires. i also want to get some new lighting for the front bumper, a hitch receiver, mount a fishing pole holder to the front bumper, and get some better speakers. its kind of hard to tell but i also tinted my front windows 20% to match the back



back to summer mode



ill be sure to post on this thread as i get more updates with my rig.

 

Nice. I really like the Flat flares.

The wheels look much better without the plasticrap.

 

forgot to answer your second question, its a Nates 4x4 non winch bumper

 

i followed this write up but only did my fronts

thanks, they give my rig a wider look, they are really sturdy too, i can stand on one and it wont flex

 

i got the bilstein 5100 shocks as well :thumb up:
and thanks, ill look into that front bumper, looks good. and the rod holder on the rear bumper is deff one of the many things on my todo list. nice build all together!

 

its a pretty inexpensive bumper thats why i got it, comes with all the hardware youll need. and thanks good luck getting your lift on!

 

this is looking great! any problems with 33's on the 3.5 before you trimmed? i'm going with that lift this summer but i haven't decided on tire size yet

 

the only issues i had with them was rubbing the contol arms at full lock either way or if i flexed completely out theyd hit my fender flares. wheel spacers and trimming fixed it. i didnt have to trim a lot either. you will really like the ride quality of the lift.

 

nice rig. are you gonna fab up a cooler and rod rack for your beach runs?

 

That's a must! Well the cooler could fit in the cargo area, but I'd deff like to see some rodholders or carriers mounted up!!

 

i was running my rods on the roof rack with bungees last summer but that limited how many i could bring. i think im going to weld a 2'' receiver to my front bumper and build a rack with 8 holders and a tray for coolers etc. i need to sand it back down to metal and re-bed line it anyway. i did a very light coat and the salt is doing a number on it. anyone have any other ideas as for a mounting rod holders? pics would be nice
