Thats the best feeling making an obstacle you never did before. Totally worth it lol. Cant wait to see the build.

 

You may or may not be bombarded with questions down the line. I'm actually considering trying to tackle a lot of things myself now after I binge read your build in one sitting last night at work can't wait to get these parts in!

 

Sounds good man hit me up. I put the build up so it hopefully helped some people. I do sales for a living and never worked on any vehicle before. All it takes is time, research and the balls to commit. I can say there were a few times i was like shit im over my head but with the Internet you have alot at your disposal.

 

All my goodies are here now, brown Santa brought me my stuff!
-Yukon 4.88 gears and install kits
-ARB 35 spline air locker
-Nitro chromoly 35 count shafts

Courtesy of Josh at Overland Off Road. We had a scare about the locker being the wrong one but we both called ARB a few times and made damn sure it was going to fit. Already have another order from him that should be on it's way soon. If that isn't enough, I've got the next one planned out I think:

-Evo Corners with taillights
-Rear 1510 Drive shaft
-ACE rails to fit over my Rubi rails

I'm also working on something with Chaos Fab Shop for a new tire carrier that is not DD friendly at all, but I honestly don't care anymore. I'm putting new axles, chromoly shafts and air lockers in a DD now so why stop there?

 

got to love a brown Santa delivery.

 

Nice can't wait to see how it performs on the trail!

Nice! I love this build!

Thanks Josh! Got some 2" bump stops in today just in time before the axle gets swapped. Last time I was out at red cloud stretching my legs, my brake line was so tight I could've played Dixie on it so I got some for a 6" lift (from Josh). Here's a picture from red cloud.

I guess I'm content with this amount of articulation but after addressing some of my weak spots, I think I'm going to start doing a lot of research (along with bugging Maertz) on stretching it. Because a lot of our trails are very narrow and windy, I don't want to lose a lot of my turning radius. I'm thinking maybe a 104"? Any opinions?

 

Depends how much you want to cut. I did 100 first on 35s with minimal cutting. Steering dropped a little bit not bad. You stretching front and rear?

 

I can't jump to 37s until this fall at the earliest most likely. And as of now yes, I'd like to stretch the front and rear. I don't remember seeing you stretch with 35s I'll have to go back and look at that. Is it in your build thread?
