did you ever do that painting write up?

 

I wrote it all up but I took all the pictures of painting it with my grandmothers camera, I gotta stop over and download the pics sometime and then ill post the writeup.

 

oh ok thats cool

 

Ok got some pics of these new tires.







After 1 day of wheeling like this I think i'm changing my build plans a bit too, I don't think i'm going to bother lifting it any more than it is now actually, not only does it look bada** at its current height but I have as much flex as I feel im gonna need anyways. I think im just gonna bumpstop it and maybe worry about strengthening stuff up here and there. Maybe some alloy shafts and frame stiffeners and brace all of the axle brackets, maybe a roof rack, swap in my high pinion front end, and I think that should just about do it for the build.

 

Man that Jeep looks really good. Those STT's are sweet tires too.

 

That looks sick! How much did those tires run you?

 

x2, on the paint job right up! this is one of my fav. jeeps on this sight!

 

They were only 650. I had a friend who works at a tire place get them half off though. Normally they would be over 1,000.

 

Looks great! I agree with your change in build plans. I had the same thought just before I went from 4.5 to 6.5 inches.

 

nice jeep man, i dont care much for the bushies... keep too much mudd off lol. but i like it!

 

Just ordered a new V8 ZJ steering setup to replace my bent stock setup. Gotta get everything all set to go for my trip to Rausch Creek in April, dont wanna drive there on anything half broken.

 

When you going? I will be there on the 2nd

 

The forum is having a meet and greet there the 10-11th, that's when i'm going.

 

Ahhhh, unfortunately I will be in PSU that weekend

 

Got the brand new ZJ V8 Steering today. Comes with all brand new components. Drag Link, Tie Rod, Steering Stab (I think im keeping my Teraflex one though, ill sell the one from the kit for 15 bucks plus shipping if anyone wants it) and rod ends. I think im going to try and do my own alignment after I install it tommorow. Busy day tommorow, gotta install all that on my Jeep, drill and tap new holes for the rear bumpstops, redrill the holes for one of my fender flares since not having bumpstops ripped it out, and make 20 bucks by doing the brakes on my neighbors car as well. Ill throw some pics up if there is anything interesteing.
