I know, its getting bad..

 

man, you got that winch and bumper put on fast! i'm still waiting for my winch to come in. my bumper is painted and waiting.

your build is looking good.

 

Figure I bring this thread back with a pic of me winching a buddies Rubicon

 

Did you use lift shackles for the relocation? I am looking at picking up the RC one but I am already at 5.5" lift on RE 3.5" springs and RC shackles set to 1". The rear doesn't flex to well, but it stuffs pretty good. I noticed in your pics that the rear flexes pretty good. The front is about a half inch lower, so I really don't want to go any higher. I have another isolator to install up front when I get the IRO LA conversion.
Can you post a pic of the relocation box and shackle angle too? Thanks.

 

We have the same year and color jeep, down to interior, except yours is sport and mine is the base model. I'm modeling my build very very similar to this, so thanks for posting all of this so I have an idea of what I have in store!

 

great build man

 

nice

 

How do you like the mud claws?

 

yes, on 1.5in shackles for best swing. If your angle is 90degrees you can greatly improve droop and lower the rear hieght by angling the shackle at least 45. mine is at 40.

I would go with a little longer shackle if you do the relocation because you push the angle more forward

 

Their a great tire. I love them. Just really wish there was better options with bigger sizes. Only 35 they offer come in a 17. But I may sell my wheels and tires and go to a 16in wheels with 315/75R16 Mud Claws. or I may go to a federal couragia mt. Unless I find a brand they has a decent 34in tire in a narrow size.

 

Few updated pictures.




New double shear hook for the winch

What is a cheap MT that you suggjest? Im looking at them and the procraps.

 

Awesome looking rig.
Hey you made those front d ring mounts then you got the winch bumper. Do you still have the d ring mounts?

 

where did you get an autodimming mirror from?

 

How do you like the 4.56s with the 32s? Been wanting to swap in 4.10s to run 31 or 32s.
I don't remember seeing what brand gears you went with????
