Just read through your whole build. Really like the simple budget minded aspect you have in it and it still looks as good as most higher dollar rigs. Ill be using a few ideas when I get home from deployment to get started on my build. I have lotsssss of jeep parts😎👍

 

ah yes the parts pile gets pretty large right before the build-up

 

yeah no kidding, I'm about to stock pile a bunch of stuff.

 

Hahah oh ya new lift,longarms,locker, bumper,winch steering components,sliders misc armor. Thank God for deployment even if it ps does suck lol

 

one more day of waiting before my photobucket account bandwidth resets - then i'll post pics from wheeling.


In the meantime I called up West Texas Offroad and ordered a full rebuild kit for my Durango steering box, with new seals and upgraded bearings. $53 shipped - not bad. I'm tired of it leaking and popping. I have some time coming up in September where i'll have my wife's car available to drive while i pull and rebuild the steering box in the jeep.

 

Why do you use photobucket?

 

never had an issue till now and i like the interface.

 

I'm just curious cause you can upload photos straight to the forum without worrying about bandwidth.

 

Yea i know. I have multiple threads across multiple forums, not just this one. I like hosting my pictures on a external site that I can reference in any post without re-uploading pictures.

 

Makes sense

Highlights...

 

You definitely have some nice flex out of that rear.

 

yup the rear works exactly the way i hoped it would - i STILL haven't gotten this truck 100% maxed out on flex. Still tons of room to go before rubbing/bottoming out

 

Run me through your rear setup duke.
