Clrusty's new ride - WrenchFest Oct 8th

[PacificEd]

Empire Offroad is a club in central Ohio. Several of their members have helped and attended the Cherokee Crawl for the past few years. They are a great group of guys.

HDOR = HD Off Road Engineering. They make frame stiffners and shackle relocation brackets. They are a sponsor. BrianHO is the name of the owner. He's a great guy.

Or at camp I didnt even have time to get the hood proped and my motor mount was almost changed.

 

[clrusty]

the 3''lift was part of a horse trade.i was able to get my meds and stuff i needed and trt was able to get the 3'' lift.
Dalty i am so gratefull for the 4.5''lift because it helped out in more ways then you know man.
I was a little to embarrassed to say anything about being broke. so them 2 helped more then they will ever know. you all have. to much pride to ask for help...

Brian is giving you a set of shackle relocation brackets BTW.....

 

[High2by]

Guys we only have a couple weeks to go. We need to know for sure if we have a tranny and a t-case coming. If not, then we can at least put the lift on and front D30 in and then at a later date swap the the tranny and t-case.

 

[clrusty]

did we have front shocks covered too? the relocation brackets for the long arms?

 

[FlexdXJ]

Can we get someone to hit that thing with some PB blaster for the next couple weeks and make it a little easier?

I talked with AJ from AJ's Offroad Armor today and he is covering the difference form what the GC was for and what we ordered for the bumper project. He was glad to help out for the cause and sent his best wishes. He is shipping out the parts I need for the bumper fab in the morning and they should be here by Thursday.

 

[FlexdXJ]

THe shackle relocation brackets for the leafs. Better shackle angle=Better ride, more flex.

 

[clrusty]

[clrusty]

guess me and my buddy yellowx are picking up the jeep? is that the plan? its cool if it is we will just leave a little earlier..

 

[clrusty]

does the long arms come with a brace or bracket to hook them up or does something have to be welded on?

 

[rredalty]

It will be a set of short arms, but built for the 4.5" lift

 

[clrusty]

oh ok so they will hook up in the same brackets that are on the jeep. like i had on the crashed one
i had adj lowers on it with stock upper and only a 3in lift. they were almost adjusted all the way in too..lol
