Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?

You're right, thats pretty steep if you're only having a few parts cut. We usually have quite a bit of stuff done so the minimum charge usually isn't a problem.

tonysinnette, why the 180° thermostat?

My old thermostat was sticking and I was having temp issues. I tend to run hot during the summer when I'm crawling, so I figured drop it to 180 and see if that helps some.

Been an awesome day in my Jeep world.

Left work early and picked up my rear driveshaft from Baertrax. Got home, filled up the tcase with fluid, installed the driveshaft, jump started the Jeep, and drove it for the first time in 3 months! Oh how I MISSED my Jeep! Up next was putting my 32s on. Finally got that done, and cleaned up the messed in the back of the Jeep.

Now for the pictures. :loveu:

Now to paint my other packages then install them. :sunshine:

Maybe cut out the OEM filler, then re fab it higher up on the left side. Then just fab in some sheet metal where it was originally. Looks good.

Swapped the soft 8s out for my Ravines. I'm happy.

But the flange end of my HackNTap has a very slow leak, but its nothing big or much to worry about.

I also think that a ujoint on my front driveshaft is squeaking. Should have greased it while I had it off. Bah humbug.

Looks like I'm going up another inch.

Any rubbing from having them on the ravines? What backspacing are ravines?

 

[Exxon Valdez Jeep]

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?

5.25 I believe

 

[Crusher16]

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?

Ravines have 5.5 backspacing. They still rub on the very end of the flares going towards the doors but ah well. I'm sure they'll rub on the insides of the fenders when stuff but big whoop. Ill be bump stopping the piss out of it soon.

It looks great! Toss some wheel spacers on it and call it a day.
