My first Jeep/my newest money pit!

[revmaynard]

Finally got my D30 3.73+ carrier and I went ahead and got setup kits for the front and rear....just need those gears now!....and lockers, but those can wait. lol

I am going the opposite direction of you. Im going lockers then gears. Got my front locker last week, looking for a rear Spartan to match my front now.

BTW, your pic and build thread make me want to start one of my own.

My heep had a few parts already on it when I got it though. I'll see if I can get some pics together.

 

[revmaynard]

Do it! Like I said, we need stuff to look at! And it's nice being able to look back at every little detail! My Civic wagon has a build thread going back to '08!

Oh and I'm pretty sure there was a spartan locker on jeepforum at fort benning in GA.

[highspeed]

Nah, its for a D30. I already have that.

Darn, sorry man!

This weekend I am doing shoes, pads, drums, rotors, stainless extended lines, and new factory shackles. Should be an eventful weekend if all goes to plan!

 

[revmaynard]

My coworkers YJ from Cali with 12'' of lift....and my wagon with 6'' of lowering!

 

[revmaynard]

Got the front pads and rotors changed, rear shoes and drums, and put stock shackles back on.

 

[revmaynard]

I also got my 3.73+ carrier today! The back sits level now with the lift shackles changed out for stock!

 

[highspeed]

looks good.

 

[revmaynard]

Thanks man!

New factory 15x8 Gambler wheels. One had a slight bend in the lip but it'll be ok for a spare/the price I paid for 5! The 3 hour trip to Carrolton and back was hellacious though.

 

[revmaynard]

Reset my toe today, got it a good bit closer and it drives great! Ran out of time on my lunch break so I didn't get to recenter my wheel.

 

[highspeed]

Doing my alignment today as well

 

[revmaynard]

Stump and I got started on the bumper today. Used a TJ winch plate as a starting base, and a scratch and dent stinger I got at work. This was about 5 hours of work with a food/hardware run!

The wheels look a little cambered from the panorama shot I took to get the whole front end. Hopefully we can finish up with a full day tomorrow!

 

[highspeed]

Nice. I think my next big ticket item will be a winch to go on my warn bumper. I still need a basket like yours though, my spare takes up way too much room!

 

[revmaynard]

I also did this:

 

[revmaynard]

Thanks. Today we finished up the bumper, its drying overnight and tomorrow we'll get it and the winch/lights mounted.

Light mounted for test fitment. There is another tab on the opposite side.

 

[revmaynard]

Got it mounted and the winch and lights in place.
