DirtyComanche Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Image Not Found Wasn't too bad. I need to deal with the rear shocks; one of them bottomed out and moved its mount... The front needs some more trimming too. Oh, and I need to finish my exhaust and throw some decking on it. And bumpers! Need those, just about lost my headlights. Man, that's a crappy pic. Ohwell.

pingpong Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I never thought we were going to see your rig all together :eek: Good job :cheers: As for the shocks, the best thing to do since you don't have a bed in the way :razz: is to build a custom x-memebr to mount some longer shocks to. Even if you use stock lenght shocks you will bottom out, and you won't have enough down travel, to make a difference :brows: Also whats up with all the fancy smancy doors and full fenders :loser: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thanks Pat. :cheers: I'd thought about the rear shocks a lot and figured I'd mount them so they were triangulated towards the rear. Either by welding some brackets to the existing X-memeber or building a new one. I just threw them on there as-is to make it driveable. And I've got more trimming to do! I have to have the flares on there for it to be legal :roll: . And those doors come off. Just mud/water/snow and mild trails really don't warrant pulling them off.

Pete M Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Wow, it finally looks like an MJ and not a chop-shop victim! :D Very nice! Are the front tires as close to the rear of the wheelwells as it appears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 No, it's my poor photography. That and I've got a couple more inches to cut out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeff87 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm straight-up DIGGIN' the "legal" rear lights :cheers: Nice build, man. Flat black to boot...... Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 It's crappy tire bedliner. Seems pretty tough, and non-slip; so when I have to crawl out of my window and onto my hood I won't fall in the mud... The rear bumper is going to get hacked and shortened. Then I gotta find some other lights. :roll: Unless I can work those stockers in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Go with Rv lights like mine. They have everything you need :D plus they are stylish :nanner: Try adjusting your Long Arms out to re-center your wheel, that might help with the way it looks :brows: BTW love the flat black 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Maybe I should push them out an inch or so, won't hurt. I think it only looks off centre because I didn't trim enough in the back. I'll fix that too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Me likes! The tail lights are killer. I lost a blinker on my Toyota having a bumber like that! It's awesome approach for the tires, but no good if you don't want body damage. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
