    Florida?

    Swampy replied to FLMANCHE526's topic in Southeast

    I will post in here again. Maybe this time I won't take my jeep apart before said meet&greets or other events. I plan on having my axle swap done by end of May/beginning of June. If people want to meet up (Almost anywhere in Florida) for a bbq, hangout, trail day, beer tasting, what ever it may be I'm all ears. I know of a few Mjs in person that would be willing to meet up for a hangout day. Possible locations: - Lazy Springs Recreation Park - Hardrock Offroad Park -Amelia Earhart Park -Daytona -The Swamp Offroad Park -One of the many springs - Ybor city -Orlando

    Like @ghetdjc320 said my bump stop cups don't have indentations. I will be using the tj ones instead
  5. Swampy
    Perfect just what I wanted to know. Might combine the tj bumps with a hockey puck on the bottom.

    I searched a few threads and mainly saw people adding the pucks to the bottom of the coil spring to "add length" to their factory bumps. Factory bumps in question These are the screw in bump stops with what i believe is a 2 inch cup (if my measurement was right). I'm looking to length my bump stop but I'm not sure if this one will fit. It is for a tj, but has any one tried it? I know daystar has replacements for the xj with the two inch cup, curious as to how you would remove the old oem bump. Cut it up? Heat it up? Beat it out? <-TJ bumps XJ daystar replacements ->

    More news for Wendy, Official ordered my artec dana 60 truss kit and I picked up a brand new set of 40x13.5x17 procomp mt2 Next to a 40" interco ground hog Definitely going to look great on the mj, but the front still has to come up a few inches.
  11. Swampy
    It should sit a good bit lower, their is no weight on the rear leaves I was just to excited
  12. Swampy
    This is pretty cool honestly. Love the ingenuity. I will have to ask two questions. 1) Why you decided to shorten the wheel base? Was that just where it happened to fall when you grated the front clip onto the back of the comanche? 2) Why stick with the d35? Again was it something you on hand already with gears and lockers to keep cost down?
  13. Swampy
    Just a teaser of what to come. In the front I will be running the artec 1ton swap truss, and in the rear i will be using the TNT u-bolt eliminators with 1" of lift built in. The fun part now is waiting for parts to arrive to put this ol girl back together. I think I forgot to mention that the truck will getting a set of T&M fab stiffeners for the front and mid section.

    So to will you guys in while my current youtube video is processing/uploading I have both front and rear axles stripped and the casting cut of the driver side front axle tube. Have to remove two inches to have enough tube to weld the front truss too. I did receive my gear package front and rear from Revolution. Will be running 5.13s again maybe the 4.0 will be happier with the 40" tires instead of the 35's from before

    Yeah it sucks but we make the best of the situation right? haha

    Because that deal fell through that brings us to this week. 3/8/2021 I bought a set of 99-04 f250 one ton axles. Dana 60 front and sterling 10.5 rear. Picked up both axles for $500, now they do need some work but its a great start. (I don't know if this moves me to epic section... I doubt it) I also picked up a slightly used cavfab alpha 3 link kit

    Sooo where do I begin... a lot has happened since January 2021. I had a buddy call me offering to sell me his rubicon jk44 axles complete front and rear with wheels and tires for $3500. It was a deal I couldn't pass up. In the wake of me saving my pennies my buddy tells me how he wants to trade in his wrangler for a pickup and isn't sure he wants to sell me his running gear, which brings us to the first step in our journey so far. My comanche on jack stands with no axles.

    Bows

    Swampy replied to Smokeyyank's topic in The Pub

    Bows are great. If you are not looking to be a match shooter buying second hand can get you a great deal at a fraction of the price. Companies are coming out with new flagship, high end bows every year. Some people buy them new and I would too if I could afford it but being the way I am, second hand is better than none. I shoot a bear anarchy HC which was a $1500 bow back in 2014/15 but I bought it in 2019 for $275. Hell of a deal if you ask me. As you mentioned with archery your ammo is "reusable" as long as you don't lose an arrow. It is fun to shoot. I love it. I actually use my bow for hunting as well.
