billytoad631 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Have had these rain guards and vent windows laying around for a while now. Decided might as well slap them on after work today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 a nice addition. I have them on my truck and like them. but we need more pics of all the details of the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 a nice addition. I have them on my truck and like them. but we need more pics of all the details of the truck It’s a lot to go though and take pictures of what’s already done. But I’ll be adding more detailed pictures and updates as time goes on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Have had a CB and firestik antenna laying in my garage for months. Finally decided to put them on this morningSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Swapped in a grant steering wheel with a quick release hub from ruff stuff and Did the WJ booster and master swap tonight. Haven’t gotten to drive it around the block yet but I rolled it around the drive way and it seems to stop much better then it did before. Can’t wait to take it for a test drive tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Did a little update to the OBA today. The Jeep came with an air tank mounted under the bed but it was never hooked up. Decided to finally hook the tank up to my ARB compressor and I added air chucks to fill up tires and whatnot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manche757 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Very nice build. Those fender flairs look nice and should be a great solution to wide tires. Do they do a good job of keeping mud and road grime off the side of the truck? What made you remove and replace the bushwackers that were already there?

Do they do a good job of keeping mud and road grime off the side of the truck? What made you remove and replace the bushwackers that were already there? 2 reason I took the bushwhackers off. 1 I think this set up looks way better and 2 the armor that was incorporated into the tube fenders will do a way better job protecting the body then plastic fender flares Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manche757 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It looks like you are using the best components. How bad is the noise from the ARB with the windows up? Not an inexpensive item. Wood grain dash and steering wheel match up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an inexpensive item. Wood grain dash and steering wheel match up nicely. It’s definitely a little loud. But once it pressurizes the system it hardly kicks on at all and if it does It’s only for a second or 2 so it’s not to badSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 New bumper from the flop shop off road installed along with cheapo HF winch to get me by until I decide to buy a warn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytoad631 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Rear ARB installed in the 8.8. I hated the way the Detroit behaved on the street with having a 5 speed. It drives much better on the road now with being able to unlock the rear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
