While I was installing the flares I added 1.75 inch Daystar coil spring boosters and 2 inch rear drop shackles to level her up and to clear what I have planned for her.

Nice lookin jeep man

dwwscran

good looking rig. i love the tan with the od green. Krylon flat black is the best color for the wheels. just did up my stock steels that way too.

tater266

Thanks, stay tuned there is more to come. Just got to get pics off my phone first.

I left the tan front because it was different than any others around. Most are black in color. Krylon was what I had at the shop at the time so that's what I used. We paint all our L.E rifles with krylon camo fusion. Plus it sure makes for easy touch up.
There is a powder coat shop 2 miles from my houseone thought about having them coat my wheels flat black.

Went out playing one day in an rock quarry and took some poser shots. The Zombie Hunter sure needs some new tires my Khumo AT were about wore out here.

And....

Almost for got about the steal I got for $300!
Warn 8274 8000# winch and Warn Heavy Duty Mounting Plate.
Had to modify the plate some to fit the bumper and add some 3/4 inch holes for air flow. Thought I would mention it sense you can see it in the new pics.

Wanted a snorkel on the Z.H. but didn't want to spend the $ on a Safari.
Sooo......



Sorry no beter pics of just the snorkel.
I built the air hat from steel, pipe and expanded steel for the "bird and squirrel filter". Also drilled some holes in the bottom back of the hat to let out water I also left the pipe up about an inch inside to help keep the water out. Got some industrial heat resistant vacum hose from a local heat and air supply at $1 a foot. I used it to go from the fender fitting to the air box fitting in the back of the air box. I plated and closed off the front of the airbox.

During my little "wheeling / poser shot" expo I dropped off in a washout trench I couldnt see because of tall weeds. Dropped the left front wheel in the wash and the tranny crossmember hit on a big rock. .
Well started home on the dirt road and sure enough drivetrain vibes. I figured the worst it was was a u-joint from the bind stess. I get home and crawl under her and sure enough rear u-joint is loose in the cups.
So to the shop we go. On the way about a quarter mile from the shop the u-joint let go. Pulled lhe shaft and front wheel drove it on in to the shop. Got under Her and found this... time to rob more from the part Jeep.





When it broke the tail section of the t-case it also bent the main shaft of the t-case. YAY ME! Rebuild time.

tater266

Got the t-case all fixed but while I was under the Z.H. found some rust above the cat. and muffler. More fun for me! Pulled the carpet and interior stuff and found this, figured it was caused by the leak around the fresh air duct that I have been putting off fixing. Time to fix that too.
