    Fine had to replace the rack with another rola since it was rotted. Got almost 5 years out of the original, but it's been bad for awhile. Was tired of rust dripping on the sunroof. Also ordered a new front driveshaft from Carolina to eliminate the vibes I had left. I screwed this one at Rausch a few trips back knocking it outta whack a bit, so it's time for a new one and use this one as a spare.

    • Threw in the new front driveshaft yesterday. What a difference. I could feel the old one getting worse, but will just use it as a spare since it should still get me home if need be.



      As you probably saw, I'm trying to sell some of the parts from this. The goal is to make it a little more friendly and retire it from any hard use. So, that includes putting it on a diet. I love the bumper and winch, but with the kid coming money is more of a priority. So, once that sells I'll put a stock plastic bumper on and some tow hooks or shackle mounts again. The belly skid is already sold, there's another 45lbs there. Also love the nittos, but will be selling those and getting a nice AT, most likely a Ko2 or a toyo at2 with XT tread. Still undecided with keeping the locker since it's really not noticeable, but if someone wants the axle I'd swap in another LSD 44a.

      So that's the plan. For all I know nobody will buy anything and it'll stay the same.

        • 33s to 35s. Nittos coming off and are being sold next weekend. Putting on the set of 5 Raptor Spec BFGs I picked up here a few months back. These are a bit taller, but 7lbs lighter. Hope I don't regret it as the nittos were amazing tires and looked killer. I think the 35s fill the wheel wells much better tho with my setup.

          • Qtec was running a close out on their machined face Moab wheels with 4.7" back spacing, so I picked up a set for $100 apiece and will ditch the wheel spacers and sell these moabs.

                  • The wheels turned out to be 5.2" backspace, so I put the wheel spacers back on. Got it out in the snow today for a hot minute or two. #stancenation

                    • Were you rubbing on the control arms or fenders? Or just wanted it to sit wider?

                            • Finally hit that 200k mark. Pretty psyched about about this thing is looking and driving these days. Going to an AT was 100% worth it. Next project is to take the D30 out and give it a refresh. New fluid, new paint, UCA bushings, and some bearings.

                              • Got a good deal on an RB1 Nav on the JeepForum, so threw that in. Going to be adding an aux jack too it as well. Never realized how small the screen is
