Oh owwwww. Keith, my suggestion for more ground clearance would not keep within the theme, so I'm going to hold my tongue. For now Dave G

Now I just need to get the u-bolt flip kit in and I can get it back on the road. Wasn't going to do that quite yet, but I had to cut off all the old u-bolts so I figure might as well since I have to replace that part anyway.
So I've sort of blown the budget but I don't want to be that guy on the trail and decided to build the front axle. Still, I think it can be considered a budget build with cabbage spent in the correct places....hopefully that's the case.

Just saying. It's ment to be Keith, Look at it like this... you get, you build, you play, you sell and then you repeat... It's a repetitive cycle and in all reality, you're populating the 4wd community with well built and tested rigs... ;D I like the diversity of built vehicles... when is the fullsize vehicle slotted for build up?

It has been a cycle, but trying to change that with this one. We will see. You're right, gotta be careful or I'll be to the point it needs a full build and I'll be buried in it, don't want to do that. If I could just find some good used 35s that would help out. Shoot, I can't even find new stuff, KM2, MTR, Pit Bull, they are all on about a 2 month back order. I can wait, probably won't go wheeling until August.

Keith, I just built a 02 TJ for a buddy of mine and he got 35 12.50 15 MT/Rs with Kevlar no problem from Kramer Tire here in Va Beach.They probably ain't the cheapest around but they had them in stock if you were looking for new....
