TylerJY Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Got a bit of work done: Exhaust work finished: Brake lights/tail lights wired: We also got the rear brake lines finished, and the other LCA on, so the front suspension is finished for now. Here's some pics
TylerJY Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Had to go out and flex it a bit today :D I am very impressed!
89Comanche4x4 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 loooooking good! looks like you can get a lot more flex out of it too
Dirteatr717 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 keep it up dude! mine looked like that after I did my soa, it eventually settled and lowered over an inch, scrapping some heavy stuff definetley helped settle them haha
TylerJY Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks guys! Shocks come tomorrow, then I can drive it around town!!!
Kernel Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 keep it up dude! mine looked like that after I did my soa, it eventually settled and lowered over an inch, scrapping some heavy stuff definetley helped settle them haha 2nd that. you also can adjust your ride height by how much crap you put in the back. :brows: looks good. :cheers:
TylerJY Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Got some pictures to share, haven't done much, just got seatbelts, and the passenger seat done. Took the truck through town for the first time today to fill her up. Then we basically decided to flex it out a bit more to test out the shocks (and get poser shots!):
cody4359 Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 you hit any washboard logging roads yet? I'm kinda in the shock market and those are on the list. rough country springs?
TylerJY Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Not yet, they felt very smooth going over the train tracks though, not too stiff at all.. Yes, the front has Rough Country coils.. those ride pretty stiff, but they get the job done.
Kernel Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 you hit any washboard logging roads yet? I'm kinda in the shock market and those are on the list. rough country springs? u'd be more happy with a reservior shock with your long arms.
TylerJY Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Took the MJ "off-roading" for the first time w/ my Uncle in his 2dr XJ :D The Manche handled like a champ, despite how slick it was. Image Not Found
TylerJY Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 truck is looking good. :cheers: Thanks :D

89Comanche4x4 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 ] Lovin this pic! Looks great. What's next?
TylerJY Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Other then getting some mudflaps and a license plate light to keep it legal, basically I'll just be driving it until the end of Winter when phase 2 of the build begins which will include the whole interior and whatever else I come up with.
87Warrior Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Your truck looks great. Keep up the good work. :clapping:
SW86 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 $#!&, whats next!?! go wheel that thing man! seriously! I'm about to do my spring over and after seeing what my 4.5 long arm/spring under can do, i know 6.5 should be insane. good build :thumbsup:
TylerJY Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Haha thanks guys! :cheers: I'm going to enjoy it as it is for the time being, until it starts to warm up again, I still have plenty to do, especially since I am planning to get an exo cage in some time next Summer or so. My plans as of now: License Plate light Mudflaps Rear Bumper Interior (Dynamat, new carpet, headliner etc.) Exo cage Drive it and enjoy it!! This is all basically waitin til it warms up some though, maybe not the license plate light and mudflaps. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Stay safe! :cheers:
TylerJY Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 Got my Nates 4x4 rear bumper under the tree this morning, but unfortunately the brackets haven't made it here yet, I'm thinking I'll just rattlecan it until I go to get a bedliner sprayed in, and I'll have it rhino lined to match the front. Stay tuned for updates!
TylerJY Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 Got my Nates 4x4 rear bumper under the tree this morning, but unfortunately the brackets haven't made it here yet, I'm thinking I'll just rattlecan it until I go to get a bedliner sprayed in, and I'll have it rhino lined to match the front. Stay tuned for updates! Just mocking up the bumper. its cold and snowing, or I'd go out and start painting it etc.. Nate widened it 2 inches for me and brought it 1 inch closer to the body free of charge, the craftsmanship on this bumper is definitely pretty good, and I can't wait to get it put on.
TylerJY Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 I got the bumper mounted today and took it on the highway for the first time :D
