AJ is a douche and will take your money and leave you with excuses.

[Mike]

really?

[crosbike]

really?

yes. he took over 3 months to even start my bumper as he was "sick" a lot. I was ready to drop over 1700 on front and rear bumpers. I put a deposit down and his communication skills blow donkey dick.

[HeavyMetal]

i had the same experience as far as communication

[Mike]

damn it. maybe ill just go with a jcr

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

JCR makes good stuff but they take forever to get it to you

[Mike]

quick update

Things i picked up today.

Hella 500 Driving lights
New battery from napa

Things im planning on doing, my lighting SUCKS on my jeep, gonna do the wiring harness upgrade, h4's 100/130w lo/hi , with some sick ass bulbs. Also gonna do the HID conversion for the hellas and mount them on my bumper. .


My ballistic fab diff covers came, and my gear install kit came. I should have everything I need for my build now for the most part.

Im ordering my rear disc brake brackets tomorrow, and im getting some el dorado calipers for free ( so ill keep my ebrake) and getting all the rear disc brake stuff from my moms store.

Coreys gonna gear my rear axle after thanksgiving. That weekend after thanksgiving my jeep goes under the knife. Pulling the axles, suspension, tcase and tranny. Doing a new clutch, and frame stiffeners. Then setting up all the suspension shit and putting the axles under. Will be running 35" MTZ's on allied beadlocks for now.

Need to find a rear driveshaft of have one custom made, I heard a exploder front shaft will work in my rear.

[Bigbike]

ZJ front shafts will work too.

[Mike]

ZJ front shafts will work too.

ah shit, just out of a regular 4.0 auto?

ill have to go find one then.

[Bigbike]

ah shit, just out of a regular 4.0 auto?

ill have to go find one then.

I think a V8 one.

[Bigbike]

Is that a truss for your front axle? I thought it already came trussed and ready to bolt in?

[Mike]

the truss is in the front, with the long arms mocked up behind it. The truss is ready to go, just set it on and weld it. The only thing thats gotta be measured and put on is the LCA mounts, but the truss, Upper CA's, tracbar and shock mounts and coil buckets is all one piece

[Mike]

seem like 200,000 is the magic number where my shit decides it wants to break. Just replaced a bunch of shit today all related to electrical problems and the starter.

Its getting torn apart next week and getting a complete overhaul
