I fricken love this build!

Did you need a new drive shaft to stretch the front? Any other concerns? I have never heard of doing that with your CAs. Great idea!

 

Thanks guys! and no need for the drive shaft extension. it is cutting it REALLY close but as long as my engine/tranny/transfer case dont shift back then it will be fine haha.

The roof basket has its own build VVVVV thanks too!

And yeah the axle stretch makes it ride so much smoother.

Btw just got done ordering shocks. It is the longest white body shocks offered anywhere with the stud on top.... 29.9"extended/17.5"collapsed. I just like the feel of hydro white body 10 valve shocks. and cant see spending the money to get REALLY nice shocks

 

Got the shocks mounted up and the front tera flex spacers in (to level the jeep out). DAMN this rides so much nicer. It is a little firmer (which is good) the shock still has about half an inch of up travel while it is on the bump stops. which is great.

so it is a full 7.25" of lift front and rear with the proper shocks and it riders so nice!


but i am also really sick too....

 

Glad to see black sky on the road agian and whats got you so sick?

 

Yeah it has been nice to drive it. Already put 3 tanks through it.

and tonsils are blocking my breathing and some other things that are more flu like. it blows.....

probably made myself more sick by working on the jeep today

 

this build is amazing!

 

good to hear its back on the road! hope you get better

 

Thanks guys. btw the shocks i ended up getting were Rough Country hydro's. 17.5" collapsed, 19.4" extended. It is the longest shock they offer. when i am on the bump stops i have about 1/2"-3/4" uptravel left in the shock which is perfect. and then i use all the down travel in the shock.

And i am trying to get better lol.

just at home watching tv planning things for the jeep

 

That sucks, I know how you feel because I always have a problem with signus infections and It sounds alot like the symptoms I get...hope you get better soon man, I know it sucks lol

 

What you need is a couple of beers to make you feel better, just kidding, whiskey though for sure. Hope you feel better. Nice heep.

 

How did the shocks cost ya? Need to order some longer ones for mine think it has the shocks that come with the 4.5 inch lift and im at 7.5.

 

contact Grimus (a RC vendor in our vender area) all the contact info is in the sig to get ahold of him.

also disconnect your shocks measure it out and get a collapsed and extended length you need. I run an axle stretch so that is why i needed extra extra long shocks.

mine are part number: 8159 (they are meant for a lifted dodge)

 

hey man really hope you get better soon
congrats on gettin black sky back on the market now just rest up so you can go drive the **** out of it

 

I know this is really old but why does it go from Tsl tires to another tire in the pics? LOL

 

I had to find pictures of the gussets and i could not find the ones right after it was welded
