Oh man I am dying to take it out but I have a loooong list of to-do's before I feel comfortable with taking it out again.

 

haha, the list never goes away! whats coming up on the list of things needed to be done? other then those fancy sliders that are getting dusty lol

 

I need bump stop's and some fluid changes, my sliders lol. My schedule blow's I wish I had more time to get stuff done haha

 

Took out the beast today and did some flexin poser shot's. Diggin how she handles just need some new shoes. Here are some pic.

 

Whoops posted the same picture. And the other white jeep is my dads (DesertRat)

 

So I haven't done to much lately. Painted a few things, got my bump stops on little stuff like that. But my most recent mods are me sweet new Solid Diff cover thing is freakin beafy as hell. I took it out last month and kept hitting my stock cover so I decided I should replace it ASAP.


I got my sliders on recently and today I got my new 31's on.


Lovin the stance and the ride improved a little bit from my old tires.

I don't have any flex pics yet I tried flexin off my dad's 33's but that wasn't happin at all. But next month Im going to the Teraflex all Jeep show so Im hopin to get some good flex shots then.

 

Looking good. I like the simplicity, nice and clean

 

It's been a long time since I've updated my build. I haven't really done anything until recently since I got moved into a house with a garage and got the Jeep paid off. It first started back up after I took an interest in learning how to weld, so my Grandpa has been teaching me while we upgrade and build things along the way. First thing we did was upgrade my sliders and put a piece of tubing and braces to beef it up and at more protection. After we got the sliders done we started on a rear tire carrier bumper. It still isn't finished but it's just about there.










After we got the tubing on the sides on I did some thinking and decided to cut my rear quarters like the cut and fold but instead cut and weld in a piece of steel and move the tubes in right underneath the quarter panels.

 

For some reason it won't let me update my side view picture. I painted the underside and the side black. But it turned out pretty well, I think I could of done it better but it'll do.




Here's what the tire carrier looks like with a 31 and a 33.

 

Since I paid the jeep off I get to move on to some fun upgrades! Today I was able to pick up my tires and they're just sitting in the garage waiting for my other parts to show up so they can go on. Hopefully this week my Rough Country Shackle Relocation Bracket will show up as well as my 6.5" coil springs I ordered from Clayton offroad. I'm super excited to get it up in the air some more. Future mods I'm going to do soon are brake lines which I need to do some research and looking around. If anybody has any recommendations or input I'd love to hear what other people are using. And I need to order gears, I found a really good deal on some G2's I just need to find a shop to install them without spending a fortune.

 

Looks good! Gotten a lot done to it. What size tires are you planning on running with 6.5" of lift?

I would just get the cheapest kit that is braided stainless steel. They are all pretty equally made brand to brand. Rustys, skyjacker, rugged ridge ect. Also pull the line done further and remount it for a couple extra inches of line. Lots of DIY's and info about it. Good luck looks like you r moving in a good direction.

 

Thanks man!! I've got a set of 33's sitting in the garage right now, I ordered a set of break lines off rough county today as well as a steering box brace. Oh yeah and gears were ordered today too

 

Nice! What gear ratio did you go with? Going to slide a locker in while it's all apart?

 

4.56's, No I wish I didn't have the budget for a locker. I'll get one soon though that'll probably be my next big upgrade

 

Little update since I got it lifted and the bigger tires.
