That's what I did 35s would fit but everyone says they take to much power. I've looked at that bumper but I think I can build a better one, so I guess we'll see soon.

cody4359 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Tacoma. For the price I'm happy with it. Just wish it had a spot for the license plate. How did that boost works tcase linkage workout? I have a cable shifter and have never gotten it setup very good and just saw the boost works a few days ago

Super easy to install
Jackrabbit41 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Finally finished making this. I hate making videos!!!!!
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 Nates 4x4 DIY rear bumper brackets. What are the tabs for? Should I add a frame stiffener while I'm in there? Thanks. Hopefully I'll start building soon.
DansGreyMj Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 The tabs weld to the bumper and mount to the brackets to make it easier to install/remove the bumper.

Lee21490 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Be careful removing the rear bumper bolts, They like to break... Well at least mine did :/

gogmorgo Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Hit them with a good penetrating oil, like Kroil or PB'laster a day in advance. If you're in a salty area, like I am, it might be better to hit them a few times through the week before trying to pull them. If you do break a bolt, it's not the end of the world. They're only tacked to the frame rail, so you can take a long punch and knock them off pretty easy. Trick is getting the nut onto the bolt after you've done that though...
Mattman6 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I used a long magnet to fish the bolt through the holes, got a box wrench on it, and put the nut on. I put the nuts on the outside instead of on the inside, as it made it so much easier to do.
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 I was teaching a friend how to drive stick and then we found some snow behind the local ice rink!
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Cleaned the jeep and it's already dirty 2 hours later :(
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Last night I ordered some LED cubes to mount under my front bumper that will face sideways at an angle so I can see more at night. I also got some LED cubes for rear bumper I am building that sit flush with bumper so they're not poking out. I'll use them as selectable reverse lights and to mess with my friends that are behind me :laughin:
cody4359 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Griots garage paint sealer is my go to. Makes washing up much quicker, works best when it's dry for 24 hrs after applying to cure properly. They just came out with a new poly wax that's supose to last even longer, so I just put some of that on
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Cleaned up tail lights a little and my LEDs came. Before: After: I only worked on them for about 30 minutes but soon I'll do it all over and then paint some black trim on them. Here's the LEDs I'm going to use: 20$ on Amazon and 5$ for wiring harness. I don't understand why people pay so much for LED cubes when you can get them so cheap. They're good quality too!
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Just messin Around this weekend
Jeep_Comanche17 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 i got some PLX pilot 3" light cubes with mounts for $27 apiece
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Picked up 4 speakers, an amp, and a wiring harness today. Hopefully i'll get them in tomorrow. I've never done any speaker work though so this will be interesting. Hopefully ill get a sub soon too.
Jackrabbit41 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 The old speakers I still don't have an all done picture but I'll get one on here soon.
Jackrabbit41 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Took the jeep on its first real wheeling trip today. Went to Walker valley for 4 hours with my dad. It was really fun. Didn't break down and nothing got damaged. I wish i got more pics though. :( [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// Had to use the winch once. Really slippery sand stone and an open diff don't really work out well.
