xjustinx Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 My truss made it yesterday. Still have to order some mini skids and maybe a upper control arm reinforcing plate, then out comes the axles for some welding and a nice coat of paint. I just like having things to tinker with all the time. This axle is my inspiration for my truss purchase. Looks really clean.
xjustinx Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Got these little bellow things to replace the breather hoses on the diffs. Kinda neat and nice it eliminates the hoses.
xjustinx Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 Finally getting the important little details on the comanche tied up. Got a fabtech spare tire mount for the bed, and getting a good deal on a hi-lift from a friend. Gonna take the axle out monday after I get off work I believe to work on that truss. Those vent bellows didnt pan out either. I don't think they are stretchy enough and the axle just puked some fluid out of the seal. So off they came.
xjustinx Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 As promised I got the Mini-skids and truss done yesterday and today. Went well, just took my time and then threw it all back together. It was a hot and humid day to day so def worked up a sweat.
xjustinx Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Jeep has been moved down to second driver status now. Got an CSVT for my new daily driver cause my commute doubled recently.
xjustinx Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 I put together a hi-lift mount recently, got it mounted today.
xjustinx Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Got my bumper in today from Dirtbound Offroad. I'm really stoked to put it on, its so low profile! Got to cut the fenders first though. Also snagged a m8000 local off of ebay last week :yes:
ftpiercecracker1 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 can't wait to see that bumper and winch combo all mounted up. :popcorn:
xjustinx Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Bumper on. Ran out of light tonight, so I have to finalize a few things later. I'm so glad I went with the Dirtbound Bumper.
xjustinx Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Got some better pics. I painted the crossmember and readjusted the bumper today.
xjustinx Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Not as cool of a update as the Dirtbound bumper, but I now have a matching set of Bilsteins front and rear now.
xjustinx Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Got me a spare tire finally thats worth a damn. Its a Gt Radial, looks really good for a 170 dollar tire.
xjustinx Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 I laid down some he barrier and cheap home depot carpet over the trans tunnel to battle interior heat. I think its going to work pretty good. Picked up some floor liners as well. I read that they fit in our trucks kinda wonky but when I put them in I thought they fit pretty well.
xjustinx Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Had some fun on friday afternoon. Drove up to Blairsville Ga and rode Beasly Knob for the first time. Didnt snap any pics on the trail really. Accidentally went down 93B which is the most difficult trail up there. Made it out with just a busted marker light so I guess that was a success lol Got my trail gear all strapped up Did meet this rattler on the trail
mysteed Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Great looking MJ! That's the perfect sized lift/tire combo out there I think.
xjustinx Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Great looking MJ! That's the perfect sized lift/tire combo out there I think. Thanks man. Sometimes I think its a touch too high but I know Ill have room for 35s if I ever wanted to go for it. A regear and front axle upgrade would be in order before 35s though.
Kickinmule Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 You're still runnin 4:10, aw4 and 33's right? I know you do lots of wheelin, but are you happy with this gearing overall? Highway, city and dirt? I'm still considering gears and just curious.
