2012 build plans?

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

Military tires suck too

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

Not trying to be an a hole. Just trying to save you time and money. Military goodyears are like big all terrains. They would be like 36"s of suck doing what I do with my 36"s and 44/9. Some 15" steel wheels and used 35-37s MTs would still be easy on the pocket and way better on the trail.

Swap the 4:10's from my 96 2.5l jeep to the 98 4.0 and sell the 96. Add 3-4" in the process then when more $ shows up get some 31's to replace the 30's. And add the 2x6 tube I got to replace my rusty rockers and make bumpers..

These plans are out the window... now I have to plan out what all is going to be needed to make the 6.5" springs and control arms work and make the back half match, then get 33's I already got the tubing for rockers and a sye. Can't wait for my tax return!

 

[RAM-ROD]

Axel Re-gear
Lockers
trim and bumpstop to fit 35's with the 4" of lift i have.....going for the low cog thing....

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I got 36"s on 5" and use my fenders for bump stops

I guess I will finally go full width since I have delayed all these years...may even have something done by WF if I get any motivation...or I may just continue to trip over them in the shop.

If you need a hand, or someone to watch you work while drinking beer and telling you that your doing it wrong, I am about a half hour south of sheboygan

Travelling at almost no cost > working on the jeep

and a ton of money saved up for more parts :cheers:

I am not sure when I am going to get started on the larger projects, I might try to get the rockers done before Winterfest, depends on other travel plans for work. Going to WF? if so we should get a convoy down.

I am not going to be able to this year, I've got a lot of work to do on my jeep.. I'm planning on it next year though. There should be a bunch of people going right by you from green bay though
