Bmoore2 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thank you sir.... I like the bumper too. Really needs some Bush Wackers to set the look off though. IMO Truck looks good! Can't wait to paint mine the original color which is white....super sexy! Nice add on with the bumper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Can you post up some close-up pics of that fire pit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 These are as close up as I have currently. I you would like I can take a few more closer for you. This was my wife's mothers day present. This started much like a Comanche project. (start as a small thought and end up costing you a pile of $$$$$ and work) She just wanted one of those cheap a$$ fire pits from Lowes. But it was 200.00. I told her I could build a nice one for 200.00. And this is what we ended up with. :thumbsup: Just a tad over budget. I have 200.00 in the mulch behind it.

dscowell Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Dude sweet truck! I like those ARB bumpers but they are a little to expensive for me. I'm hoping that my MJ will look like your MJ one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the kind words buddy.... After searching the interweb for hours I found the bumper on Autoplicity for 789.00 with free shipping. It feels really sturdy, the only down fall is where the winch goes. Its made for a Warn winch. So you really have to be careful on which winch you buy so it will fit. But other than that I am really happy with the truck. Dude sweet truck! I like those ARB bumpers but they are a little to expensive for me. I'm hoping that my MJ will look like your MJ one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Something crazy is going on in my front end. Went to turn on my road and when I turned the wheel, the truck didnt turn like it was supposed to. Then it made a LOUD pop and then it turned. Making sharp turns in 2wd makes one hell of a noise up front with violent sounding pop. In 4WD I don't have that problem. Any ideas on what that might be? I was wondering if maybe it had something to do with the locker. :help: Got bored this weekend and decided to paint the tail lights. Sorry for the poor quality pic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Sounds like maybe your linkage may be pulling your transfer case into 4wd...when its in 4wd its hard to do sharp turns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 No, I wouldnt say its hard to turn in 4wd. I just figured it pushed a tiny bit because all 4 wheels are locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Pulled the front apart to check out the popping noise and didn't see anything outta whack. Changed out all the fluids in both differentials since the break in 500 miles is up on my gears. Guess Ill just keep driving it till something breaks. Found a reputable guy to do my floor pans. Said he would replace them for 125.00 labor if I bought the floor pans. That sounded like a pretty good deal. Now I just need to find a place to order some floor pans. If any of you guys have any suggestion please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoore2 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nothing really new going on.... Just been chilling on the river and enjoying what a short summer we had in VA.

Rymanrph Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I guess it could just be the picture, but it looks like your control arms are way too short for the amount of your lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct.... They are a little short. But it rides good and I don't do any crazy wheeling. So its ok for now. Planning on begging Santa for a 6 inch long arm for Christmas. Santa don't like buying Jeep parts so I may have to sneak them myself. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmoore2 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Don't know if any of you guys follow this build but if you look back I said the rear main was still leaking after having it replaced. Come to find out it was my transmission. I dropped it off last Monday to have the seal replaced at a reputable tranny shop that my good friends dad owns. He took it apart and "fixed her up" is what he quoted me for 200 bucks. The truck runs like a completely different truck now. Throttle response is amazing. The truck actually feels like it has POWER!!!!!! . :MJ 1: . And I have ZERO leaks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerWillRbnsn Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Good looking truck! I admire the amount of work your having put into it. If I wasn't DDing mine now, I would be doing the same. Keep it up, really sweet truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
