Had to take a picture before I even rolled off the lot for the first time. This is my third jeep and I plan to make this more of an expedition jeep. This is the first time I actually "build" my jeep so any advise is more than welcome. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my build in progress.

I had to give my jeep somewhat of a custom look while was saving up some money so I went and got some black wheel paint and let her rip. I am very pleased with how it turned out



My first install was a terra flex 3 inch suspension system and the monster track bar. The install went very easy and I did all the work myself. I did all the work at the shop I work at and didn't have time to take take photos but I can snap a few more of the finished product if anyone has questions.



About 5 months after installing the lift kit I finally had enough money to pay for some new and bigger shoes. I got the pro comp MT2's. They are 35's. I am very happy with these tires. The road noise isn't bad. Defiantly noticeable but it's a jeep!

How do you get the jack in and out?

paulMACK

It slides right in. Just open up the rear door, angle it in, and slide it all the way through. It fits perfectly. The only "issue" is you have to pull it out if you want to drop the seat.

What kind of gears do you have. Are you running 35" tires on stock 3.21?

paulMACK

No my jeep came with the tow package so it has 3.73 from factory. But I'll be swapping out the gears as soon as i can. The loss of power was a lot more than I expected. I believe 4.88 is where I need to be?

I have the 3.73 geats also and wanted 35's but may go with a 33 instead. Gears get pretty expensive. Thanks

Just finished installing my spod. Install is easy and product is great. No complaints about it. Only downside is I don't have anything for it to power yet. The windshield lights are on order but I guess they are back ordered. Also ordered a set of LOD side rails. Any thoughts on LOD products?

Got the windshield lights installed. I haven't gotten a chance to see how they are in the dark. They look good at least!
