Looking good and further along than my own build. Is that a VDP stubby end kit or something on the stock bumper before you went to the new one? And how's the 3.8L EGH holding up with the added weight of the winch and roof rack and such? You can see I'm kinda new, but I've heard about bad experiences with the motor when adding larger tires and more weight to the Jeep and I know that mine personally doesn't have a lot of low-end grunt.

 

Front bumper and rails look awesome. Nice work! Im putting together a RK lift but not sure I want to go RK front trackbar or Synergy. Will taked the clearance issues int consideration for my build as I was looking at the same diff covers.

 

No its just the stock ends that I cut off and reattached. No kit was used and I can't remember which write up I followed. The 3.8 is not a power house by any means but it does what I ask of it. I have pulled my pop up camper many times loaded down and it does alright. I have thought about putting a Ripp supercharger on it and also an engine swap but for right now it will work.

 

Yeah I am not sure what the deal with my track bars are. Everyone I have talked to says they should not be hitting the diff at all. Even PS and Rk have said that we have never had any issues with it. The only thing I have tried was rotating the trackbars but it still makes contact. I'll keep it updated if I find a cure.

 

A new addition to the Jeep. My wife bought me a light bar for Christmas. I had to get some mounts that would work with the Gobi rack and a wiring harness from Lifetime LED. I plan on making a sPOD type box so it will have to wait to be hooked up. Its a 40" Lifetime LED light bar. I'll get some pics when I get it wired up. Still deciding on whether or not to install the Rockstar skids for the rear. I believe I am making it harder than it really is LOL.....

 

Well its official....I ordered some 35s. Went with the BFG KO2. Ordered them from Discount Tire for at a much lower price than any local shop. Now the waiting begins.......

 

Tires showed up today. The spare shows up on Monday.

 

35s mounted

 

Dude please right a review of those come winter. I want them in 37 but only if they're on par with the duratracs

 

Ok so we just got about 3-4" of heavy wet snow. I took them out to see how they would handle this type of snow and have to say they did great. I didn't break traction once and felt very comfortable driving on areas that were packed or frozen. Not sure how they compare with the Duratracs since I don't have experience with them but I am pretty pleased with how they performed. I'll be talking them out tomorrow in deeper snow to see how they work out.
