I've never seen that many wrinkles in vinyl wrap before. You sure you did it right?
Raptor liner looks great tho.

Added psc pump and reservoir to the jku, then went and had a hydraulic hose built to go from the reservoir to the pump inlet. That pump must suck more than Ken’s house on Nov 4th 2016.......

Edit: this pump and reservoir is part of the big bore box steering kit meant to turn deflated tires in big rocks at slow speeds up to a 37” tire w/o hydro assist cylinder. The big bore box is however porter so it can be added later if needed.

Did she know you were going to give it to her or did you surprise her?

Planned for last month or so, youngest turns 16 in sept so we’re going to do some minor upgrades (new gears and freshen up front steering, rear axle and shocks along with raptor lining the hard top) to Baylee’s tj for Samantha. I have too many projects so this needed to go and Baylee has wanted it since she was 15. She now has ac and 37’s which both make her happy.

For the record I will be driving this on trans trail this year. Baylee may or may not be joining us, trying to get her schedule worked out.

Must be a party jeep, look at all the cup holders on the rear bumper!

Do you like the tires?

stlaser · « **Reply #968 on:** May 14, 2020, 11:15:45 PM »

I do so far with maybe 75 miles on them, they came mounted and balanced from NTW so we had to let some air out of them (bouncy) as they had 60+ psi in them w/ E sidewalls. Think they’re at 50 psi now and seem to be ok, going to watch how they wear.

Btw, Baylee just got home and the smile is still there. She figured out she doesn’t need first gear to take off, can anyone say granny six speed? Around 2600 rpm at 65 mph so not to bad as it won’t see much highway miles.

Need to purchase a programmer to adjust speedo yet.

JR · « **Reply #969 on:** May 15, 2020, 12:01:49 AM »

Sure looks good, but 50psi? I run that in the Dmax front tires, 45 rear.

Ever done the chalk test?

stlaser · « **Reply #970 on:** May 15, 2020, 12:05:55 AM »

Chalk yes, impatient young adult no time.....

My goal was to stop the bouncy, it did will fine tune details later. But worth noting I ran the 33” duratracs on this b4 at 45psi E loaf rated sidewalls and they wore good.

My limited experience a lot depends on tire and manufacture, believe Tate has touched in this b4. Anyhow, Don is running these exact tires on cmax so maybe he’ll comment on this....

I like the tires. Several thousand miles on them, actually closer to 10K. Not worn very much at all. I am running pressures above 60 I want to say because I'm always pulling something semi heavy.

I think foir the money they can't be beat! I can see price gouging by the popular brands through these excellent tires at half cost or less. Heck if you got half the mileage out of these you would still be the same as toyos or nittos. But they seem to be wearing better than my old BFG's! And these are maintaining balance with no wobble

Jeep was sold this week. Loaded on a trailer headed to retirement in sunny Florida. A brewery owner purchased it. Glad to see it go, it wasn’t being driven and needed a new home.
