this post has pics? I no see any.

damn your messy with that stuff. :rotf:

I ended up pulling the rear out of my xj and pulled the tranny and tcase out of my buddies CJ. Always in the shop at night time now that I can.

well.... got me a full width 8.8 finally, so the little 8.8 is out of here, back up for sell. got some new plans for the rear now as well, streaching a bit more I think along with the front to keep it equal. :yes: :yes:

The front I was going to go green. :rotf:

Well painted up the 8.8 today, and like to say Wade finally talked me into the whole red thing, so this is for you 89eliminator.... :thumbsup:

He's slow. :D

I call bull$#!&\! I changed out my 35's and what a pain in the asses. Never again will spend the $50 and have it done. Then again I got beadlocks for a reason so now have no problem mounting my tires.

Really? http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=155987

yeah and I'm gonna have a convoy with me as well. Right now I think there is like 10 rigs looking to come down. Going to be a happening weekend man! I can't wait, I'm sure the rig will be done by then :shake:

My wife would get smacked if she suggested something like that. Well has your wife dropped $5000 in parts for your jeep as well? I think I rest my case and let her have her paint scheme, which I think will be different and cool to see out on the trail, and for one it is a family rig that is being built for her to drive as well.

Yeah I like them as well. :yes:

well the girl came up with it, it be a his/her jeep thing. That way after the divorce we can tell which half is who's. :rotf:

part of the over all paint scheme, my half is blue and the girls half is pink. all on black.

44 5.13 gears came today and both install kits.

Yes sir will see in the end. :thumbsup:

rims and tires ready for axles.

Finished the bead locks, got them mounted and ready for the axles.

If any one has any ideas or thoughts give them to me. :dunno:

bump Can you bump a build thread? :rotf:

X2 new desktop background. :brows:

Got some coils for the jeep last night. Got the factory arm or horn off knuckle pain in the butt. Got winch connected to some plug disconects.pics later

feeling tired tonight? Don't just leave it like that you'll scare him away from a soa, for what I think he wants to do he would be fine with it for what he is wanting to do. And you should get right around 5-5.5'' of lift with it. But really I think for an overall great ride with a little more lift I go with new leaf pack 4.5" lift set up and run 32's. I think you would be happier in the end.

SOA is a grat option and cheap as well, but need a welder or someone of know how. Lift packs and keeping it under will make the install more hands on and more or less bolt on and will ride good on the road as will the SOA set up will as well. What are you looking to do as far as with your truck, haul with it regularly, look good and get you back and forth to the beach and work, trail ride on the weekend, just trail rig, is this your daily driver? As you can see many option and best place to start is to figure what you want to do with it before you put money into it then later change it and put more money into something you could of already had and basically just bought twice, you see the thinking in that?
