I should post some pics of the LJ


Here is a really really cool building that I shot the Jeep next two. super high security. I could only get those shots. and they asked me to leave! WTF!!








We wheeled in this area. but unfortunately, I didn't take any pics of the Jeep going over any of the obstacles. I'll see if I can get some from my friends.


some friends and I are building an off road course/trail here.











Also starting a Saudi first Jeep Jamboree with Chrysler and the dealership. I've been working on it for a while now. and already picked a route. Its going to be really cool. 156km+ offroad! Unfortunately, The Gulf area is not really known to have a lot of Jeeps and wranglers. market competition is very high. and many choose toyotas over Jeeps. I really don't like that. and will be trying to get some attention with events like this. We have 20 Jeeps on this Jamboree. 5 marshalls and a dodge ram tail gunning for support.


heres a shot of the route (Follow the white line from right to left)


Elevation variance from 5,000ft to sea level

No one would harass you for something that well done!

Saudi Northern Expedition (SNE) officially plotted. We will be driving well over 4,000KM across 7-9 days.


There are no trails as we will be negotiating our way across variant terrain and making/marking the areas we cover. Spider LJ will lead two vehicles. A stock 2012 JK and H3 Alpha. Departure date is on the 18th of October. As always, I will have an album dedicated for this trip with continues updates as mush as coverage permits. The other side of Saudi is about to be unveiled!!

Default Welcome back!

Luai, I hope all is well for you my friend! The new photos of the LJ are awesome as always and that trip sounds really sweet. Well, I missed hanging out with you on the 2012 JKX a few weeks ago. Lots and lots of driving on this one, 90% of us were from the west, southwest, or northwest and had to make the trek back to the middle of the country. Now I know how Ali Mansour felt last year.

Mel and I were going to Dubai this december, but are pushing the trip further to the left and into 2013. Would love to link up with you when we head over to UAE, its about as close as I will get to you.

Take care brother

Greg

Got the jeep out of the garage. Finished the body lift and motor lift. Also installed the belly up and new wheels. Jeep should have came like this from the factory with a name like "black rock" or something. It looks really nice


Now to the problems. Well I didn't install the control arms because I'm super tired and need to get some rest. I put a big *** dent on the oil pan. That needs to be replaced. Also one of the bolts that hold the engine puk on the bottom sidenwill not go in any further. Tried lifting the engine again to get it going but no luck.

Tomorrow I need to figure out how to do the control arms. Since I only have one floor Jack and 3 stands. Don't know how I can shift the pinion angle to match. So I need to do some math

I'll have some pics tomorrow. I hope I never have todo an ML ever again. What a pain in the ***


Luai
Question on your belly up. I have a 2005 LJ Rubi with what looks like a 4 maybe 3.5" lift (bought it that way). I still have the factory skids on it and get hung up everytime! Rubi T-case already comes with SYE in the rear. Did you have to do any mods to instal the Teraflex tummy tuck kit? What came with the kit and if you don't mind me asking, how much was it?
