I have new taller 4.5 in coils, rough country control arm drop down brackets, and rustys adjustable control arms I will be installing this weekend. After That I plan on upgrading the steering and then getting new shocks, frame stiffeners, rustys fenders w/ armor, new bumpers, hood rack and more stuff I would be here for days listing everything as you all know it is never ending. I want to go to a junkyard soon and look for neon fuel injectors.

Here are some more pics of stuff since I have had it, now that I have this thread going I will start taking pics of everything as I do it. These are just what I have in my phone right now, will update this weekend.


white leds installed, this was before i got my new dashmat

new spectre cold air intake added.

front diff looks tough painted

Do you know if that is an OEM spare tire carrier? Also jeep looks great!

white92xj

To be quite honest with you I'm not totally sure, I will get back to you. We had to do some fab work on it as it was vibrating alot when i originally got the jeep but we reinforced it with 3/16 steel plates and the rear bumper and it is rock solid now. Thank you tho man.

That's a stock tire carrier. Rig looks good.

kyle96xj

It looks stock but I've only ever seen the ones that mount on the body as well as the bumper, that's why I asked. either way it would be cool to see some pictures of how it mounts

Yesterday I Put in rustys adjustable control arms, and new 4.5 in coils. Wednesday hack and tap will be installed and I just ordered new crager hub caps and console.

Looking at your third picture of the wheel and shackle it may be worth getting a set of hub centric wheel rings if you have any vibrations going on. $20 well spent in my experience.

white92xj

cool thank you I will take note of that.

Today was a good day. Did cut and fold inside the front two fenders and painted the inside. Cleaned my shocks. Fixed my tie rod angle until I get my new steering in a week or two, installed new front driveshaft and checked angle and the angle is good. Located a couple bushings to replace, regreased the front end. Finally got to take it for a drive after going from 3.5 to around 5 inch of lift and the new control arms/drop brackets and shackle relocators and the new cold air intake, thing sounds like a straight beast and it rides SO much nicer. This weekend hack n tap and possibly new steering. Of course I only remembered to snap one picture, after doing the cut and fold and applying silicon just before painting.

white92xj

Subbed!

Where the hell did you get the Spectre cowl intake? I thought they stopped making them. Are they back?

white92xj

My dad has a buddy at work who is aparently getting out of cars/jeeps and into motorcycles and had a bunch of stuff lying around. We traded him a old yamaha bike from the 80s for some stuff with that included. Thing sounds wicked I am very hyped on it.

TFitzPat87

Good find! I'm still trying to get my hands on one. The more time that passes, the less likely I think I'll find one.
