My first Jeep/my newest money pit!

[revmaynard]

Thanks man! I can't wait to get it on there!

Front and rear extended stainless steel brake lines!

My buddy stump welded my mounts to the rack for me tonight, as well as two light tabs.

Well geez, I didnt see you getting close ups. We could have at least wire brushed em! LOL... Glad we got it on man, those JCR mounts are the ticket.

Haha, it'll be ok until I can get some paint on it! I'll take another picture tomorrow if it makes you feel better. :laugh3:

Nice basket, I want something similar, but full length. JCR tabs seem to be the way to go.

 

[revmaynard]

Yea, these JCR tabs worked out great. We actually had to rotate my rack from it's original orientation as it was a 40''x50'' rack and we needed the width to sit at 50'' so it would meet up with the tabs. I actually kind of like the shorter look now that it's installed. I did manage to hit it with some black paint yesterday but didn't take any pictures.

 

[highspeed]

The only reason I want full length is to utilize every inch of the roof so that it can kinda act like my truck bed when needed.

I'm supposed to be picking up a loaded 3.73+ carrier this week, well a friend is meeting up with someone for me as he's like an hour away and my friend lives closer. Closer to getting regeared!

 

[highspeed]

so the carrier has gears on it? What do you mean by loaded?

 

[revmaynard]

It's got all the spider gears/internals in place and a 3.73 ring gear. The other one I was possibly going to get for $10 less was bare.

 

[highspeed]

Good deal then.

Awesome Build!! Just got a 2000 XJ 96k miles for $4500, really nice condition, definitely want to follow in your footsteps!

 

[revmaynard]

Haha thanks man! I really appreciate the compliment, it means a lot! I look forward to your build thread!

 

[revmaynard]

They took some ''lifestyle'' shots at work today.

 

[stumpXJ]

Haha! That looks good man. Wish they could have waited till after the 15-16th.

[revmaynard]

They can reshoot it. The graphics guy/photographer is one of my good friends outside of work anyways! They do a ''pic of the day'' on the Facebook page so they use pictures of employee Jeeps a lot of the time, and lately I'd been complaining about the abundance of Wranglers. They also used images of my Jeep for installed photos of our steel wheels for our new website.

 

[highspeed]

Wow, nice picture. Technically that makes you a celebrity.

 

[kyletirpak]

Looks good, this is like a perfect example to base my project on. Can't wait to get started on it, I'm bringing my baby up to school this weekend.
Time to test out some VT spots with everything stock!

 

[revmaynard]

Hell yea man! I'm glad you're digging it, like I said before, get a build thread up so we have something to look at!
