  • Project Poorly Planned

    Alright, again, brought it home feb/08, bought it from my friends brother who couldn't get it to stop overheating. one 3 dollar freeze out plug later and i have a jeep. I redid the upper-end gaskets then also.



    Then i started looking for a lift for it. I knew i wanted to run 33" tires, and unfortunately my only access to the internet at that time was about once a month, so after being tricked into thinking i needed HUGE lift to fit that, i ordered the rustys 6.5" spring pack kit, a set of Swamper TrXus Mts on black d-windows, Advance Adapters SYE and a Tom Woods shaft. At that time i was working alot so it took me until april to finish putting it all together.







    i had both axles out, cleaned them up almost to bare metal and used master series anti-rust paint on them as well as the whole under side of the jeep, ended up looking like this



    After gaining more liberal access to internet i learned some more and one day i was bored so i cut my fenders and painted the edges all nice like, but in doing this realized how huge my lift is for 33's





    Since then i've done my alternator, 120 amper from napa, gotten bad apple diff guards (sean, the owners shop and house are about a 10 min drive from my house), gotten TnT stiffeners but not installed them and replaced my power steering pump/pulley with reman/PSC 2401. As it sits currently







    Right now i'm jobless, but once that changes i've gotta remove some leaves and add a longer shackle like doug, do much more bump-stopping, get some recovery points going, grab a d44 from the local yard (ice and snow are making it difficult, but maybe tomorrow) and eventually the treks long arm upgrade and some 35's,

      they're ok, good grip on rocks when aired down, decent in mud and good in the snow, issues= wear, only had them in for like 8k and the wear is very noticable. I'm hoping when these are done to get 35" km2's, also hoping they stay around 190 a piece

        Updates: me and Erich spent hours today at chuck and eddies picks and pull, scored me a sweet commanche d44 for 150, unfortunately it's got 3.07's, but it does have a limited slip. Erich has the pics, just so it's real

                            After a recent encounter with an Impala, I've had to swap axle housings (thanks Adam ) redo all my control arm bushings, which took Quadratec two tries to get me the right ones, I've redone the bushings in my leaves, took out some from the bottom of the pack, and added a JKS boomerang shackle, it sits about a half an inch shorter and flexs like crazy compared to the old U springs and stock shackles. Also installed fullwidths krustys steering which actually was a decent improvement over my mangled stock equipment. Next on my list is to get things bumpstopped and cut out my rockers and fold the quarter panels.
