Got the Liquid Iron shackle relocators installed. Just need to find the right sized bolt for the aresfab nutstrips. Took a bit of playing around, but they are set back to ride height. These are in conjuction with my 2" rough country lift shackles.

 

Drew up some plans in AutoCAD for a removable storage box for when the back seat is layed down. This will match the height of my rear Box. The red Cubes are the LxWxH of the Green 6 gallon water containers.

 

Have you noticed a change for the better in the ride now that you have the relocators and a better shackle angle?


I'm debating on relocators or adding a boomerange shaped shackle for the rears. (maybe 1" lift) but I'm told the relocators offer a better ride since they truly change the geometry of travel.


Interested in seeing how the back seat storage comes out.

 

Just on pavement, it doesnt seem to lean as much on the corners and potholes are smoother. Havent gotten it in the trail yet...this weekend. Picking up supplies tonight to start building. I am a terrible carpenter, so itl probably look like a turd.

 

Let there be light! Picked up these LED strips in Amazon for $5 a piece. Just threaded them on the cage for now, will zip tie them in a neater fashion later. They run on 3 AA batteries. Supposedly gets 48 hours run time per strand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DZBYXK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

made this tonight. It is easily removable, so when i use the backseat, i can just pop it right out.

 

Loaded up for a 4 Day Camping Trip. Didnt like how crammed everything was, need to pick up a couple Low Profile Boxes for the Roof Rack:



All the Gear for 1 Person




Vehicle Gear and Non-Essentials in the box under the dog deck.




Everything Else goes in back seat. That blue tote is the one i dont like. Items in it will be going on the roof. If i didnt have the dogs, it would fit just fine in the hatch.




Deck is all clear for the pups.




Jerry Can, HI-Lift, Axe, Spare on Roof Rack.

 

Try doing it with 3 people. Two adults and one kid And two dogs. If there is a way please let me know. And I have another kid on the way

 

Hmmmm. ZJ folding back seat swap, lots storage totes for the roof rack. Fold the big seat down and install D rings into the back of the seat so you can strap things down and not worry about them flying into the kiddo in the other seat. Or get a trailer!

 

well was a decent weekend. I ended up getting a couple totes from menards. same size as the front runner wolf packs but 1/3 of the price. They go on the roof rack.
Found some rocks to play around on. Not quite at full bump here. LCA is hitting the shock perch and stopping my downard travel.


Full bump here

 

Well made some purchases:

• Cav-fab 3 link (super excited)

• 4.56 gears and a trutrac from RKHause- Hes got a supply going on right now for $325 for front and rear.

• Dirtbound window racks (been a month waiting, supposed to ship soon per my order page)

Now its just on to the waiting game!

 

Sweet! Are you doing the gears yourself?

 

H E Double Hockey Sticks No. Gears confuse me haha. Ive got a local shop here thats going to do them.

 

Nice! Rkhause is good stuff. I bought my Spartan locker from them.

 

Well new development, I was able to get a lead on a trussed and locked D30 and lim slip 8.8 with 4.56 gears thats been clocked and housings welded for 1,200. just need to find an open day to go get them!! Both axles have all new bearings / seals and were built by a shop down in Denver.

Still waiting on the Dirt Bound Window Racks to Ship. GRRR
