Insane mods you got there! I have been leaning towards making an evo style tire carrier myself as well as purchasing a redneck ram. I sure cant wait to see your Jeep this summer!

Spent easter weekend finishing off my tire carrier and installing the redneck ram hydro assist with the help of a few good buddies!

painted rear corners:

finished rear tire carrier:

gap to be filled by a jerry can mounted to the stock tailgate.


little details:


so the tire carrier just needs to be painted, and i need to come up with a mounting bracket for my rotopax jerry can which will fill up the empty space in between the tire and the tailgate.

steering assist install was a pain. getting the stock steering gear out and replacing it with the new one was the hardest part, after that it was just a matter of setting up the ram. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but it has made the steering a fair bit lighter. I forgot to take pics of the finished product, but will do when I get around to it.

took many hands to get things working:

making a mess, stock steering box out:

hoses connected, steering needing to be hooked back up:

Badass Dave...love the Canadian Flag accents on the bumper. Cops have not bothered you yet for requiring rear mud-flaps or bumper????

Dave,

I have some questions regarding your Redneck Ram.

Are you drilling and porting the steering box yourself?
Or are you ordering in a new one to replace your old? If so are you giving them the core?
Are you mounting any other accessories with this, such as a larger rervoir, larger pump, cooler, etc?

I would really like to take a look at your set-up and do the drilling and porting myself. But I want to see where Redneck Ram does it.... I hope to catch you when you pass by BC! Ill buy you a coffee or a beer or all us jeepers can meet up at a resturant or something.

Your jeep is looking really really good and becoming very capable!!!! All the mods you have done, I back up 100%!!!

Erik
