just ordered some Falken Rocky Mountain ATS in 33x12.50 flavor. hello DD tires. kinda pumped about it. should make DDing a little nicer and hopefully control death wobble. Making my cherokee much more enjoyable to drive again. Last weekend at rausch I bent the fawk outta my downpipe on devils den. barely even wheeling too So now I have to get a new downpipe or attempt to bend this one back. Im going to be taking the spool out as well seeing as I prob wont be wheeling Rausch much since the next few times Ill be there will be for helping out with HMC shizzle. When I get a job ill throw some money at an aussie for the 8.8 and after that Ill look for an aussie for the D30. I think it will be pretty capable/less breakable on the trail and still nice to take on the street.

I did some stuff.


I was able to make a cardboard template and have some 1/4" plate rear stiffys cut out. I did it at the weldinf lab on campus fo free so winskis for me. Thanks Penn tech. Too bad I suck with a plasma cutter. O well it was my first time and the shape was still correct. So I welded them on and also started on the LII shock hoops I bought with 5125s. 1 side is done. Just gotta finish up the other side tomorrow. Welder is running on E for gas so we will see if i can get it done on this bottle. I also have to go get a tube for a cross bar. Oh and its finished off with Jon gloss black. Im getting a lot better at a MIG and def more confident. I was proud of some of the beads I laid.

Sick nasty brochacho!

nice. how much travel are those shocks? your hoops go a lot higher than mine so i was just wondering.

they are 12 inch travels. with the jeep fully loaded with all my stuff and a spare it is about 5.5" of uptravel and 6.5" of downtravel. I wanted about 5" of up and 7" of down but this is what it came out as. Im happy with it either way.


ALL DONE the hoops and crossbar are right up against the rear seat when its fully latched and my toolbox/milk-crate fit perfectly in-between and underneath. minimally invasive shock hoops ftw

yea i bought some flap wheels today in preparation for some serious rust prevention that will take place in the next few weeks. the quarter armor is starting to peel around the edges too. may have to clean them up and give them a nice coat of Jon gloss. the bumpers are going to get painted too. Salt destroyed the jeep this winter. oh and not to mention the hole in the driver side rocker that I need to patch up.

[HeavyMetal]

Jon Gloss does a lot of solving. I will be Jon Glossing tomorrow a bit
