Welcome to our little corner of JKF. There is not only this thread, which welcomes all who run Expedition rigs, but another specific to two doors. You might find some useful info over there as well ...

Thank you very much, that looks like a nice rack especially for the price I will check it out.

Thank you very much I found that right after I posted and just finished looking though the Thread. I am going to post over there too.

 

I like my teraflex hinge. The stock hinges are a bit weak imo. I run 35's though. As for shocks I have OME HD and love them. Only thing I use on my rigs and this is the...5th now.

 

Can you show us a pic of the windshield mount? I want to see how it attaches in the front.

 

Yupp will do. I'll post one in a bit.

 

Welcome! You have a great looking rig, lots of options..........

I want to slowly make additions to the Jeep and would like suggestions from you guys. First I would like to get proper length shocks for my lift (I am thinking Blistein 5100's or Old Man Emu). Next I want to add some armor. I am mainly interested in engine and transmission skids and maybe an evaporator skid (is this needed?).

I have the evo protek skid system, covers everything nicely. Also the poison Spyder evap skid cover.

 

Mine was good until it rusted, and was tough as hell to close. Then when I told Teraflex about it, they wanted to charge my card for a new one, while I wait for them to ship it to me, and then ship mine back. Only after they got mine back would I get my money back. Pretty poor customer service if you ask me. I can understand wanting to charge while they wait to get mine back, but the full price of a new one? No way. Also I would have had to pay for shipping back to them.

 

Installed a 2.5" Rock Krawler lift on Sunday. In total it took about 9 hours start to finish to install the lift, front and rear trackbars, exhaust spacers and wheel spacers. Not too bad if you ask me.

My nephews and my girlfriend were helpers getting us wrenches and sockets as we needed them. My brother and I did most of the install, and a buddy of mine came over just in time to start the rear.

I gained about 3.5-4" up front and about 2.5 in the rear. It sits surprisingly level though.







Comparing stock to Rock Krawler.



Got the wheels off, and ready to start taking it apart.



I have no idea what exactly I'm taking apart here, but it's more tear down.



All removed.



Gotta love rust on a 3 week old vehicle.



New springs in.



New springs and shocks in.





Front done.



Rear all taken apart and ready to go.

View from the rear.

Still don't have a side shot. Hopefully get one soon.
