I got ahold of John at Benchmark and have a new oil pan on the way!



Sent from my chocolate starfish at the speed of smell

 

I noticed that too Nice combo

 

Threw on some rear chromo shafts before my sons bday party-got em done just in time.....was one of the easier upgrades and didn't take long. Still have to wire up the lockers but daylight savings is soon so might have a few extra minutes to get it done. So much to do so little time!

Is this thing on......?

 

Used a quikrete kit from a year or so ago. Wasn't too tough, though it did start to harden while I was rolling it out. Really like the color though. It all works well. And yes the GTR is actually my roommates. It is a beast and I love seeing the two in there together. A nice compliment to each other. I'm lucky to get to drive one of those regularly. Haha. Added more to the garage today too. To be honest, the whole garage project started because I wanted a spot to hang the doors. Having the week off just let us get creative.

 

Love the garage, man. I can appreciate the organized and clean layout!

Nicely done.

Ordered a 2012 :shitstorm:

 

I see a new build in your future.

 

Put on the new 37" KM2's and installed some Dirt Bagz to help keep things organized.

 

Poly Performance high steer kit, chromoly tie rod and tomorrow Poly is sending me the adjustable sway bar link kit...hellzzz yeah :rockon:

 

Wednesday...
It was +13c in here so topless for first time of the year!!
Also it's a new "first time topless" record for me, last record was march 10th last year...
Beat by 3 days!
I tell you, the planet is warming up!

But today it's down to -4c so... Back to normal temps...

 

Now that would be fun to do!

 

I was busy last weekend. I installed:

AEV 3.5" suspension
Synergy C-gussets
Synergy balljoints
Reid Racing steering knuckles
Synergy drag link flip kit, drag link, tie rod
35" tires on stock wheels with Spidertrax spacers

And then I aligned it and played with my Flashpaq. :bounce:

Looks good. Love the green.

 

Woohoo, another Green Jeep in Nor Cal. Bout time

 

I spent the afternoon installing my Cobra 75. I gave up trying to find a place to mount my old Cobra 29 in the 2012. I love how clean this install looks. I'm pretty sure I got it all right, and got my SWR down to 1.6 on CH1 and 40.

I bent a bracket to mount the 3' Firestick on the tire carrier, and had fun running the antenna coax to the glove box. I'm debating on an external speaker at this point, since the speaker in the unit seems pretty decent.

I use an external speaker with mine, it's cleaner than the onboard one...

 

Ordered some new Coast drive shafts yesterday, can't wait to get them!!!:th_pray:

 

Installed Nitto Trail Grapplers (33s) onto Mickey Thompson Sidebitters

:Before:

AFTER

Rubi is at the "surgery center" as I post this message having River Raider full skid system, Rugged Ridge Front Skid and Tereflex 2.5" Lift installed! :rockon:

 

I did this

http://www.jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70962

 

The start

Rock Hard front bumper, Warn power plant winch, Rigid Dually lights on windshield, Rigid 10" light bar on bumper, Wired HDH flat switch panel, and custom bracket to hold waterproof relays.

 

- Topped off the diff fluid
- Fix an air leak on my compressor
- WENT WHEELIN!
- Washed it

 

Took the doors and top off..... for the 85 degree days

Installed PS Body Armor and Rocker Knockers....

Took the armor back off for paint.
Reinstalled armor, sliders, doors, and top for Snow storm!!

What a week for the weatherman!
(Forget the PS nutsert tool...get the harbor freight 16.00 one!)

 

Installed a new front bumper & winch. Namely the Poison Spyder Brawler Lite with skid plate & Superwinch 9.5i SR. I had also installed (a few weeks back) Synergy Suspension Drag Link and Tie Rod (will post up better pics of them later). You can see in the last pic how much the front dropped after the bumper and winch were on. It dropped just over .75 of an inch in the front. After these pics, I installed a Daystar .75" spacer kit (in the front only) and it's right back to normal.

Nose sagged about an inch:

 

Okay, I have to ask. Why in the world is your tie rod steering stabilizer clamp clocked at that angle?

 

He doest want to damage his tie rod?

 

Ok, because my OCD is acting up, here's how it looks now... You can see it has been leveled back out and the SS is back up...

To help with your OCD and because monkies aligned it, is that tie rod "drooping" down? There is a method that you can use to center the tie rod by clocking the joints a certain way. It will stay centered, just looks like it was tightened up while drooped down.

I'm going back in the past a little bit here, a couple weeks ago installed Poly drag link, track bar relocation bracket and tie rod and a Fox ss. Last week installed Poly quick disconnect kit. And now back to the future ...this week the Creamer (thanks Jim, the name has stuck now) is getting a Warn VR10 winch, Rubicon Express long arms, Poly 4.5in coils, Spidertrax spacers and custom rear drive shaft...good bye ProComp short arm!!! Hello big boy pants! :rockon:

 

WOohooo, it is growing up with quality parts!:koolaid:

 

I built a deck cover for the cargo area and mounted the hi-lift on it!

PITA! But I like the way it turned out.

Gonna mount a pvc tube on the bottom of the lid to store my soft windows when the top is down. Also I have a Viair 300p that I may try to mount to it as well

Rigid 10" Light Bracket

Well since it appears that nobody makes a 10" light bracket for a roller fairlead with a steel cable, I said screw it I'll just make one.
