I thought the Takeover got cancelled because the link went dead ages ago. I googled it a few weeks back and nothing came up. Looks like you guys had fun! How many MJs showed up?? And can you tell us where that cliff pic was taken? That's a great shot! The cliff picture was taken at the Top of the World trail! its a slow... extremely bumpy rough drive with not a lot of challenging obstacles. Took about 1.5 to 2 hours just to get to the top after the 30 minute drive to the trail head. I just didnt wanna shake my jeep apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalBman Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Got these installed today! Some Blue Kevlar coated stainless steel brake lines since I ripped off the one at MOAB. These are about 1.5 inches longer than the old ones. Which were long enough for the 6 inches of lift! These are are actually YJ lines meant for a 6 inch lift. Felt good to get her back on the road again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalBman Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 So.... I like the look of these wheels. But they are spaced to far in. They look totally funky being an inch or so inward of my flares... Gonna make the wheels and tires a priority I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalBman Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 So I picked these up today! Dave Cepek FC-II Radials. 37x13.5x17. Should due just fine for a while. They all still have the little nipples on them from being new. 4 of them for 650. don't have the cash to plop down on the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC Radials I really want. Figure these will due for a few years at least. I litterally picked these up about 30 minutes before I had to be at the airport. Going TDY for a while.. So it will be a good while before I get these on the jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Those tires are gonna look awesome on there. Can't wait to see them. Good luck on assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalBman Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 So a little update! Pretty cool to say that I was lucky enough to be able to pre order IronMan4x4Fab's new adjustable front four link cross-member with 2" 7075 lowers and 1.5" 7075 uppers. This will let me stretch the front, better my ride quality, and increase my flex! Pretty cool stuff. I also have some notch customs fender flares that I am going to pretty heavily modify to mount them better than their dumb setup they have. I bought a set a few years ago for my XJ and I'm gonna use those fronts and I have rears on the way from them for the MJ. It will be a nearly identifical look and exact same suspension setup in the front as JCR's Sema Comanche! Eventually I will do their rear! But I just don't want to fool with the rear just yet.

Dzimm Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wow you guys aren't that far away from me, only about 5 hours. I think you may be the closest CC members. If you make a trip closer to Kansas city it's only a 3 hour trip from Des Moines. Any good offroading in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I know I won't make it down for that. Once the salt is washed off the roads and I can get the truck out and make sure it's good to go for the year we'll have to plan something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been at least 10 years since I've been to KS Rocks, I get spoiled living so close to Tuttle. Which Gambler event are you going to? I almost entered the MJ into the Kansas Rally 2 weeks ago. I saw some wild looking cars headed south for the Gambler while doing some work in Burlington that Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy and I are running our jeeps! He has a RHD cherokee and I'm taking my MJ. I'm actually sitting on a plane right now about to swap planes in Denver to get home! Gonna to get those tires mounted and a couple other things before Friday for the Gambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I really like Tuttle, but that is probably because I know every corner of that place. Be sure to post up some pictures of the Nebraska Gambler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
