Ran into a slight problem. The TJ went in the garage with no top and 35's scraping the roll bar on garage door. Now with 37's and no weight it's actually about an 1" higher now. I swapped the rear coils for some 3.5" and it still won't roll out, so I need to air down to get it out until new garage door goes in.

Looks great. When I did my build I actually measured the garage door opening and used it as a maximum height for the Jeep. Kept me low to the ground and don't need to air down each time.

Update, I started getting into the front end and replaced the ball joints, the currie steering was on it's way out so I bought the Teraflex high steer knuckle set up ($100 more than currectlync) and have been exercising the suspension a lot.
Painted the boat sides with some oil base paint and the color isn't right. I wasn't going for the galvanized look so it will get re shot while on the rig sealing all the hardware.






I used some rubber flooring to seal of the interior to the exterior to keep things from falling out while driving. I have punched some vent holes in the kick panel also for air movement. (Pics later)


Took it to the next level and flipped the drag link and Tie rod to the top on the knuckles for more clearance.


I used the old track bar for parts, I chopped off the ends and re welded them accordingly. I had an extra RE end so no more worn out rubber bushing on the axle side. The RE track bar was TWEAKED !!


I use a microphone stand as another set of hands to hold stuff while I'm sleeping under the jeep.


Battery, and fuse box


old bumper were air tanks so I found this in the sanford pile and got it mounted and plumbed.

It's on to the sway bar mounts if the track bar doesn't hit anything at full compression, if anyone has done this mod chime in with some pics on how you did the link mounts.

[Tumbleweed13]

bring over 80" of your choice DOM and I will gladly bend one while you wait. For some beer and pizza of course.

I will take you up on that. After KOH. Thanks. I need a welding project. I may even do connecting bars from hoop to stinger, if you don't mind.

[Toolman]

Thanks, hopefully got a few more in me.

I haven't said this about a dual tube bumper in a long time, but I like it.

Ya mean that big black party bus
This building stuff is fun and addicting, especially when you have time and all the toy's to get it done.
Best part is to take it out after you are done for the time being and it performs beyond your expectations

Oh yeah, ya are on a roll baby

Looks good Mike. I like the hood hoop. I'd like to add one to mine.

Building a bunch of your own stuff for your Jeep makes the Jeep much more personal
