Added a new cable to the hitch and guess what followed me?

Ready for a three week road trip heading west in a couple of weeks

 

Replaced my RE springs with Poly springs gained about 1.5" of lift. Poor RE springs had some miles on them but served me well

Nice wheels.

 

Just got a PR44 unlimited installed. With ARB rd117. It's so clean.

The rear also got ARB rd147, 35 spline with Yukon chromos. sorry no pic but I assure you it's nothing exciting to look at.

Bedlined the grill...small change to a green Jeep but I like it.

 

Installed a bike rack on my OR Fab carrier with the help (read: he did all the fab work, pretty much everything) of a buddy.

 

I used my homemade rack to carry my bike and the wife's. It was hot but we still enjoyed the state park ride. I guess I should make a bike rack for just this purpose but it worked quite well.

 

Looks like that works pretty well. You can find receiver hitch carriers on craigslist for cheap. I just couldn't easily do that because the or fab sticks out too far.

 

Made some body modifications on Squeeze Rock at Hollister. issed:

Uh oh.

 

I bought a Rubicon Express lift for my unlimited. Found it on Craigslist at a great price. Here is the lift I got http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Lift-...Express Suspension Type_PQ=SUPER-FLEX SHORT ARM&Manufacturer_PQ=Rubicon Express It only has 2000 miles on the kit, but the lift springs are for a 2 door. This will only net 2.5" of lift on an Unlimited though. So, do you guys think I should run these springs or sell them and buy a set of 3.5" springs? I do have one inch spacers, but I was concerned about flex. I plan on running 37's and will be trimming the fender flares. Anyone have a 2.5" lift with 37's?

That's a good question for Modified Tech. You should get some good feedback.

 

I think the question should be: What have I not done? I think the list would be easier to Manage

 

I bought it a new windshield.
...we'll see how long this one lasts :lol:

 

Ha, just got my own new windshield yesterday after 5 years of living with cracked one that happened within months of buying my new 07

Feels like a new Jeep!

 

Built a very simple front bumper. Just finished cutting the bumper for the Warn fairlead. Turned out just the way I wanted simple light and tight. I think I will put recovery tabs on it later to match the back. I will put a stinger on it later when I can bend some tube or find someone local to do it for me.

Purpose built

nice job on this. Simple, clean and functional...looks good!

 

Looks Great!

 

Similar rear bumper...

 

Loaded up my custom deck for the weekend.

Nice -- You built that?

 

I just finished designing one of these in SolidWorks and am currently trying to find someone to cut it out on a CNC router (I can't saw anything worth a shit) and really like yours. You say that you trussed the center; that's an issue I was wondering about myself. Do you have any pics of how you did that?

Thanks,

I just cut a piece of thin ply and stuck it in the center as a divider. Kind of like a T , It made strong as shit. I didn't think I would like a divider but it worked out great.

Sounds like it would work. I was thinking of a tube with a radius bend (like an arch) and then bolt it to the wheelwells...so there's an unobstructed center.

I made it out 3/4 inch plywood , added 1/4 inch of bedliner. Trussed up the center. I stood on it after it is all loaded up and it's solid. I used the existing the hard top holes to secure it. Made it to Fresno without incident. I am going to trail test it this weekend then I'm going to really trail test it on the Rubicon Labor Day!!!!

 

Nice...looks super clean! The edges are even routered!

 

Yup
Woodshop in 82 finally paid off.

 

Damn... My wood shop was in 85. Question, did you make it two pieces to fit around he cage/seat belt mounts?

Cut the "wings" off my Smittybilt SRc front bumper.
Pics when it's light out.

 

The cover is nice, looks a lot like mine...
Very useful to bring stuff with you and not have to worry about where you park, etc.
Also keep stuff secured in the wind and all...

 

Looks the same. How is yours holding up. I had mine through a few water crossings and held up like a champion. Did a couple of bouncy trails yesterday and I had no problems as well.

 

I added recovery tabs to the front bumper today.

I always build my tabs like this and weld them front and back. Welds could fail and it still would be in the bumper with this design.
