I would like to do something this weekend. I have to put the rest of the skids on and I am awaiting the currie steering, some more misc. Parts. I changed out all the fluids this weekend, Inspected the Air Lockers. I am also going to take it to a muffler shop this week and My rear tire carrier is loose.

What kind of build costs have you gotten in it now? Andy Actually, I have been very lucky. I have about $2500.00 into it but I sold all the old lift parts that I could salvage and that cut that number down substantially (That is why it has taken awhile). Plus, I have been getting some great deals from Mike at 4x4rockshop.com and Ebay and some other vendors and private sales. Just shopping around, I have even got some parts from other forums. My girlfriend also picked up a kilby gas tank skid, and a kilby steering skid ( I didn't factor that into the mix). |

I had to pull the whole stinger, slider combo. I was having fitment issue. I toasted the bushings on the front track bar, Nth is covering it with a new WJ style bar, but I put the RE in for now. I am going to go in another direction with Blue. I will post an update soon, until then  Currie HD Steering Setup |

I would like to say that I got a set of 4 Nitto Terra Grapplers and balanced them today on some ProComp Alloys. They were LT 295/75R16. I got them for daily driving only. I will get a second set of trail tires They balanced great, and the quality of the tires is excellent. I got them for $143.00 each Free Shipping at discount tire online. Tire 1 = 1 oz Tire 2 = 1.25 oz Tire 3 = .75 oz Tire 4 = .25 oz That's pretty good for a 33.3 x 11.7  Wheel and Tire  Compared to a LT 315/75R16 MTR  Here is a better comparison of my new tires and the MTR's. I wanted to make the jeep more streetable and am planning to purchase a second set of tires for the trail. I put stock bumpers on until I get my new bumpers. I also removed the winch until I get the new bumpers.    |
