Project 'Damn I wish it didn't have a chrome grill'

[loudobbs]

Slapped some paint on her this past weekend. A couple new coats of white and some black on the fenders. Covered up all the chrome bits with white... the chrome had to go.

So, my front drive chain was shot. Then, one day I was driving home on the highway around 10 at night, and a ujoint failed, ripping my 8.8 adapter to peices and breaking off the aluminum slipe yoke cover on my np231.



So, I called quadratec and dropped about $1500 on some parts, and they showed up today. UPS nicely left all the parts in the driveway and didn't bother letting me know in any way shape or form;







Some highlights are;
1 inch poly body mounts/lift
advanced adapters sye
tcase drive chain
proline fitted carpet
some beefy quadratec branded cv rear shaft

woah woah, you ordered from quadratec and you didn't get a sick twin tube bumper? I thought you were cool man.

edit: Nevermind, just noticed you already had one hahahaha

Came with the rig when I bought it, so i'm jeepforum certified. Its not chrome, but close enough.

haha I figured. It's no cowskull, but it's no mall crawler either

For future refference(incase you didn't know) I would've gone through JB conversions and got the wide chain and you can probabley get a beter price on an sye from porch.

I pretty much rely on quadratec for all jeep needs. I've ordered well over 2 grand in parts form them over the years, so I get dealer pricing... and everything shows up usually 2 days after I make an order. I absolutely hate spending money and having to wait forever for a drop shipper to get me the parts.

Tcase is done, all new bolts/nutcerts, and the skid spacer removed. Had the frame cut, nuts replaced, and rewelded;


Working on replacing all the body bolts/nutcerts now. I had, at most, 6 functioning body bolts out of the 11.

[loudobbs]

Well, got an update. All 6 tcase nuts/bolts replaced, and all 11 body nuts/bolts replaced. SYE in, and carpet in;





oh yeah, and I 'fixed' my broken rear window zipper;

[loudobbs]

Renamed the thread because the chome is gone, I broke a zipper head on my soft top, and the word zipperhead is funny.
