Nice Ex, we have a suburban 2500 with a normal axle :) and love it.
7.3s with an SXE turbo and a tune run and tow great. Brings em into the modern era IMHO
Thanks, yeah would have loved a 7.3 but they ain’t worth the money imo....

So some of you may recall back around Christmas an militant editor of a local liberal lbg whatever rag got into it with me on fb and subsequently stalked me on social media for awhile.
So fast forward six months and the better half volunteered to speak at a local public summer concert (they have these free all summer in our town). Part of her responsibility speaking was to name all the sponsors of the event. While going over the details prior to speaking I may have mentioned if it were me that one sponsor might get overlooked.
Needless to say I’m very proud of my better half at the moment.....

Sorry Ken it’s been a crap show last two days. Finally not raining so I started laying tile and sprinkler line in back yard last two days and moms pod showed up late yesterday so had to unload that and setup furniture etc for her.

So I’ve ordered a few things but have not had time to do anything with them. But the add on list as follows....
Cooper ATP tires 285/75R16 x 5 (tires on it I may run until this fall)
2008 tow mirrors
2005 headlights
And still looking at winches and possibly a hidden winch mount so I can keep stock front bumper
Did find some paint peeling in a couple spots top side so may have it linex’d across top. Have appointment for front window tint. And may just keep spare in rear but laid down on floor then build a cabinet over it with a flip out portion to lay over back rear seat when it is folded down. This would protect seat and make nice flat area for camping equipment storage.

Did you blow the holes out mr expert?
Only had issues with reds if my drill bit was worn out or hole not clean enough.
Newer bit, did 4 holes last week from another source for anchors. I always use shop vac to suck them out prior to inserting anchor ( think sucking on H’s cankles you’ll get the idea ). I did a quick search and found where redheads weren’t allowed in residential construction somewhere any longer.

With the spring summer we’ve had on front range this year I would expect it to be colder than warmer currently.

Redhead concrete anchors, literally have installed thousands of concrete anchors in my life. Bought 4 3/8x3” yesterday. All four would not drive fully into a 3/8” bored concrete hole (would go about an inch shy) cannot get any of 4 to tighten up. Junk, junk, junk.....

Pretty standard practice to get involved with save the trail organizations to pick up trash etc on off road trails at least once a year. Oxygen thieves suck, same story 10% screw it up for rest of us....

First week in heavy construction when I was 18 fresh out of high school hauling heavy clay. Clay stuck in box and I stood dump truck on its rear end. A little pucker factor when the front wheels started coming up! Lol

Don, I agree with bed liner idea. I however think if it were me I would pony up for the good linex uv protected stuff over the HF brand at least until you’ve had the HF stuff on the bumpers weathered for several years.

Extended bump stops will keep tire too much up travel and stuffing it cutting up the tire on the inner fender well etc.

Mine has 3.5” and trying different fenders. Bump stops will need adjusted and stockers are shot anyhow so there you go. I don’t like tall jeeps, big tires and low stance.
Can you elaborate on why?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Because I’m not 20 years old anymore and putting a rig on its lid isn’t as much fun as it used to be. Then physics, bigger tires make for smaller rocks. Because if you ain’t running at least 37’s you’re just not cool either.......  Or were you asking about extended bump stops?

I think i would like to see 37’s and read about doing the super duty conversion which seems reasonable also
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Superduty is pretty much front axle only, rear will contact gas tank so then it’s custom tank to do it right. 14 bolt rear would work and convert front unit bearings to 8 on 6.5 to match 14 bolt. 14 bolt will need hubs machined to accept wheel speed sensor.

So, how many people want one?
Id Like a couple small decals. For my pickup and my big truck. When T-shirts come available I would like one of them as well.
^^^^ Same for me, xl tall size on t-shirt would be appreciated too

My wife actually has rubicon jeep dreams after our trip, looking at the idea and I know zero about them. Moab capability is required.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Majority of Moab can be done on 33's and a rear locker only. The newer 3.6L motors are a must have 2012 and newer I believe (rubicon model is not) as you can do 33's on any stock jk axle with a little common sense. Add a low range box from whomever as long as the trans is auto (it goes between the trans and transfer case) and have Tate send you a rear locker. Moab capable for a third the price......

Tryin to make a Jeep appear to be a big boy truck with 8-lug wheels? ;)

Well, 1 ton front axle and semi float rear with 35 spline shafts then add 38.5” tires and we’re getting close.

2nd outer piece installed, hub centric and lug centric both sides   So to recap the 35 spline Currie axle is stock jku width. Front superduty 60 is roughly 3” wider overall. Both set of wheels 8 on 6.5, so to keep rear brakes and wheel speed sensor easy I just adapted the rear mount pattern via a 2 piece adapter. Was able to have them built at 1.375” thick so jk should track well down highway being just a tad narrower than front. Decide not to use border patrol wheels as the jku may get sold in near future. We’ll see....

So finally forced myself to make some time for the Jk this week. Had the tires mounted and balanced, discount mounted them for $10 each and Les Schwab balances them. Long story short LS wanted $67 per tire to mount and balance. Discount charged $10 to mount but balancing machine was too small to run them. LS charged $25 a tire to balance and these two outfits are across street from each other in town.
