Okay, some of you may know that my jeep has been out of commission since November while I was overhauling it again. I should have made a build , but I forgot. So here we go. It went in with a 6" lift. Control arm drop. Utk 1 ton steering. Yada Yada Yada. While in the shop I fixed some rust. Did the 2x6 rocker sliders. HD off road stiffeners full set(front, middle, and rear), TnT long arms, Control arm skids, regeared to 4.56 and replaced my rear Spartan with a Detroit. Shaved my 8.25. Got serious' OTK 1 ton. Bilsteins. And some other random crap. Some of the pictures are before I had everything on.

I know, I know, that was the first time I flexed it out. Those are extended brakes lines too lol. I just bought them. It looks like I need some longer ones.

awesome job man. perfect example of someone who did a ton of research, obviously set aside a budget before buillding, then put together an awesome jeep

is the T&T pan 2 separate pieces so you can service tcase? I'm thinking about buying one

also you should start a build anyway just so you have a place to post pics of future awesomeness

Thank you atmos. You were the main reason I went with the.TnT, I am so happy with how it has all turned out. And yes, a lot of thought and money went into this. I wanted to do it right. And yes. The skid is 2 pieces. I haven't taken it apart since install. But I imagine it would be pretty easy. 4 bolts. 2 through the rail and to the main crossmember. I thought you were going with a 3/4 link and a belly tuck/flat skid?

glad to hear it man. those arms are out of control offroad. the clearance is amazing and you'll never wanna go to any other system. plans changed a bit on mine but I finished the 3 link and now I'm wishing I had these lol. I mounted my lowers off the bottom of the frame and it's leaving me very little room for a sturdy belly pan

Then get them. I'm sure you can make em work. Or at least get the skid, and try to mount your links off of it. Yeah, I am so stoked to run these off road. And I can't wait to try out my sliders.
