Did you "custom build" the front bumper? Does it have a winch plate?

kellan_musseau

The bumper was fabbed up by a local guy. It has a winch plate with a fairlead mount, just its hidden behind my plate. Cant afford to get a winch yet but didnt want to leave myself hanging for the future. I have some more important things to tend to first..

So the plan for the next say...month or two is as follows..

Install IRO Double sheer track bar and stabilizer (hopefully cure death wobble)
Install the JK rubicon LCA's
Move the rear shackle from 1" to the 2" setting
Remove rear swaybar (dont ask why its still there..)
33's
Re-bedline rockers and wheel wells (just cause!)
Put all my smoked lights back on (already passed my vehicle inspection)
Re-bedline front skid (yeah im an addict..so?)
Replace water pump
Replace fluids in diffs and tranny
Some general maintenance, or shall I say "house keeping"
Figure out my rear bumper situation- this one is bent to hell, I hate the gaps, and I need somewhere to put my spare..it has been takin off the roof

I think thats all. Keep the comments coming..open to any advice or suggestions!

Nice 2-door man, been looking for one with a 5-speed for a long time like that, nice find and sweet jeep!

The new track bar is an awesome addition. Along with the steering stabilizer, my death wobble has been cured. I highly recommend Iron Rock Offroad to anyone. Customer service is great, products are great, shipping is fast.

In other news, came extremely close to takin a tumble last night. Went out for a light night wheel with a buddy in a taco...Managed to get myself in quite the scary situation but with alot of thought and some trial and error, we managed to get it out on all 4. With a tow strap attached to the roof rack (no, not to tow from) , we had 2 guys keeping some weight on the drivers side with the strap, enough to keep traction and get back onto the trail. Sorry no pics though!

Some pictures of a local jeep run..Not a lot of stopping for pictures but turned out to be a good day..

More pictures.. Also put my rear shackle from .5" to 1.5" and it sits more level now. Has the slight sort of factory rake look to it not, not the saggy old look. Did this after the run, but the first photo shows it.
Some of the WANGler guys definitely came off as ignorant but whatever... it happens.

When you went from 3" of lift to 5" what all did you have to do?

kellan_musseau

I didn't HAVE to do anything other than sway bar disconnects. What you SHOULD do is brake lines and track bar as well.
I am still needing longer brake lines but I did the iron rock offroad double sheer track bar. I was able to re-center my axle and got rid of any wobbles.

Every jeep is different so you may find you need a t-case drop or SYE with the extra lift, and perhaps control arms to smooth the ride.

I have wrangler JK control arms yet to go in.

I just have stock control arms as it is so should i get longer ones?

kellan_musseau

You will be fine but should be something to consider in the future.
