Yeah. Its really not that tight as long as you don't mind trimming.

 

Well christmas came and of course, my list was all jeep parts! Today i put on the front tow hooks and the steering stablizer. This weekend i think i am going to work on the ss brake lines and im waiting for the rear bumpstop plates and the rock krawler track bar in the mail.

Old...

New!

I wish the bracket tied in with a few more bolts but i guess it will be okay.

 

really nice man!!! quick questions, do you have the url to the trans cooler you got? and since the fittings werent right what did you replace it with? and did you make the doors removable and put them back on or just took them off?

 

It looks good. In the front fender well of my jeep I just beat those pieces you circles over so they were flat and would not cut into my 35's

 

So today I went out to put on my new crown ss brake lines. Got everything put together and realized that the hardline right before the rear brake line was leaking. Effing rust! So I'm sitting at the hose shop right now having a new line bent. Nothing is ever easy!

 

Finally got on the new brake lines. Stupid rusted hardline! Its the first problem ive had with rust so i guess i have it better than some people! I got the lines for a 4" lift instead of 3". I figured the extra inch wouldent hurt.

It does take some... persuasion to get in through the grill. I bent a few of the outer fins getting it in. As for the fittings, i just cut the old hardline just past the 90 and hooked the line to the two ends of that. I dident flare the ends(probably should have) but it hasent been a problem so far. Heres a pic of where the tube runs from the rad to the cooler and then from the cooler to the tranny.





And yeah the doors are removable. They come on and off depending on the weather and how much my girlfriend complains!

 

Installed some rear bumpstop plates today. I dont think i needed to leave the old u-bolt plate on there but i figured it wouldent hurt and may add a little more strengh. Theres 3 1/2" between the plate and my bumstop now. So i think its going to be just the right amount of bumpstop. Now i just need to get some new front bumpstops(the rubber on my passenger side bumpstop is all rotted out). Still waiting on my Rock Krawler track bar in the mail too. Also pounded flat that pinch seam in the front inner fender and beat that buldge at the front of the fender where it was rubbing.

 

nice, who did you end up getting the plates through?

 

diybeadlocks.com. $20. Cant beat it. Way cheaper than the DPG ones.

 

I guess so. I'll have to look. I'm gonna need a different u bolt pattern for my new axle but maybe they have them.

 

It doesent seam like a big company so they may just make them per order. Im sure they will make some custom for you.

 

thats what Im thinking. I know they cut beadlock rings to order. I think they are a vendor on pirate too

 

Some of their beadlock rings are pretty sweet. I may get some from them when i do beadlocks eventually.

 

I looked into it, and decided against it. I dont like that they dont have a guide for the bead and how the rings "cone". so you can get anti coning rings, and some other stuff, but by the time you do, you can just buy these
