Build thread: Out of Misery, again...

^^Thats how I have done them in the past as well. At the time I could get brackets, both calipers loaded with lines and rotors for @ $50 at pick n pull.

Small update.

Was doing some local wheeling and ended up doing a lot of winching. Broke the Warn VR. It's going in for warrantee repair...

In the meantime, I'm putting the Smittybuilt on that I won at the Crawl...

 

[Jeepguy91]

That smittybuilt is still a good winch. We have been using ours for over 8 years with no problems

Which bumper is that Dan?

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Logans Metal Products.

 

[RedHeep]

I like where you've hung your bottle opener.

Easy access.

When I had that same winch I thought it worked great when I used it.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

Doing some nutting and a few fixes. Including trimming my rear, inner C gusset, Bilstein 5150's, new upper control arm joint.


If post pics, but TapaTalk sucks and won't upload

Digging full droop.

Caliper contact.

Looking good

Mocking up limit straps. I'm using axle straps and having them sewed shorter.

 

[BRIANHO13]

Dan, shorten them by 1/2" to 1" before sewing.....they stretch a little at first.

 

[Fore Wheeler]

They're about 1" short of full extension.

 

[BRIANHO13]

That might be enough, I cant remember how much mine stretched.

That's what she said.

 

[BRIANHO13]

That's what she said.

She would remember if she were with me......

These seen new straps. They've been holding my jeep in place on the trailer for a few years.
