Abilene Thread- post 4x4 spots, club nights and get-togethers, and anything related..
Was just thinking since all the roads are much smaller and parking spaces are even skinnier than Texas that it may be a good idea to find a small car or take the trains/planes like everyone else... Also saves me a car payment too
Yeah thats true. I had a jk in italy and took it all over europe but I also had a BMW 540i. My only issues were down town pisa in two areas and the really small towns. Never made it to england but the rest of Europe surprised me by how many older jeeps and newer JKs I saw.
Finally started putting my coil and wheel spacers on today. I started with the rear since i haven't done the rear before and that way if i wasn't able to finish my Jeep wouldn't look retarded driving around tomorrow. Well since i didn't have any instructions it took a little longer than i wanted since i had to use trial and error to get enough drop in tje rear end for the springs, and bolting these rear spacers up was a pain also. Anyways, i got the rear done and that was enough for me tonight, i had a pretty hardcore day at physical therapy and after this I'm pretty much spent. I already had 3/4" spacers in the front so right now the rear is only sitting 1" higher than the front but 3" wider from the wheel spacers. The front shouldn't be to bad tomorrow, but for now it's time for a cold beer!!
Looks good man!
It was kind of a spur of the moment thing for me, since my kids had an early release day i just decided to go ahead and knock as much out as i could since i had some extra time. I'm very glad that i decided to do it Wednesday rather than today, shortly after getting the kids home from school today my oldest son fell off of the trampoline and broke his arm pretty damn bad. It scared the hell out of me, I don't know how i managed to hold myself together, get the other 2 kids gathered up and get everyone in the Jeep to hall butt to the ER. He'e broken the same arm, almost in the same place before but it was no where near as bad as this one, i'm really surprised the bone didn't come out.
Anyways away from all of that. I'm going to try and take some time out on Saturday to finish the lift, hopefully since my b-day is this weekend the wife will let me have some time to finish it..
