Switched to soft top, changed oil, changed diff fluid, lubed up the steering shaft to get rid of the clunkiness.

 

Hmmm.... I dunno.... Maybe just a tad more flex??


*L* seriously, nice pics. Nothing like a little rockrash on new steelies

 

JKS Rear Trackbar and Rancho 9000's So far we are really happy with both of them, especially the shocks.

 

Took the Jeep on its first real road trip from Kansas City down to Padre Island:




Good times!

 

Got the first test run in on the 2 door. 6in full traction Long arm kit, rubi 44s front and rear, and 37 in MTRs. had a great run but now its time to work out all the kinks.


What happened to the 40's Adam?

 

Just ordered my new drive shafts from Tom Woods, 1310 front and 1350 rear. Should get shiped by Thur.

 

added lightforces on the windshield, shorty antenna, and project-jk.com decals.

 

Made my own windshield mount light brackets. Cut these out on a water jet (I will share the Omax file if anyone wants it):


Welded inside and out at the slot (slot is for easy bending):


Ground the welds smooth (cuz my welds are not pretty!):


Primed, painted and rubber backed:


Bolted on:


Stubbed the antenna and was very surprised that I didn't lose any stations:


Installed the Rugged Ridge armrest. Nice. I can see how some guys think it's too far back and have to mod the mod, but I have my seat all the way back, so it's in the right spot for me!

 

Installed my third row seat....works and looks great!
I chose to mount it backwards, seems like more room for feet, and the kids like the view facing backwards.
I had second thoughts due to having a dog I carry also. But I can leave the third seat in and fold the middle row down and have a perfect place for the dog and also for gear and other cargo needs.

 

Thats some crazy flex, is that the 6in FT long arm? Do you know how much travel those shocks allow?
