Finally tossed in my CV 1310 front drive shaft...so know I have more trail spare parts

 

Well, I just got these from Poly. They are going on my rear tire carrier. Back up lights. Perfect size! Now I have to remove it (Tire Carrier) weld the tabs on and re power coat it.

Thats my wallet to give you a size reference. VisionUSA.

So seeing as you have a Hemi and 60's and that is your wallet I am guessing that the lights are about 1'x2' and 87 $100 bills thick...

In all seriousness...I would love to hear how those visionX lights with 10w LEDs compare to the Rigid LED light bars I know the new Rigid 2x2 have 6 LEDs and put out 2600 lumens ($360 price tag) so how is the output on those visionX....can you post pictures in the dark after install Dinker?

Shoot some pics once you've welded the tabs on, and mounted the lights. I've been brainstorming about this for a while, and you may be onto an idea that looks clean, functions well, and doesn't get hit by carnage.

Thanks!

RC, no problem.....I have been trying to figure out a clean looking backup light system for sometime. We shall see.

Oh and Family-JK, I have see these hitch mounted bars work on the trail in Moab. Nice! At least you made it clear the spare. If you are like me with kids, the back is always opening for snacks and drinks.......

RC, These were the Vision lights I was talking to you about as a solution for back up lights. I'm really looking forward to how you (JKDinker) mount them up as I'm sure a few of us will be getting some ideas, if you don't mind. please post a write up on your install and if you could show some pics with them lit up. Hell I just might have to see this in person.

In regards to the rear hitch slider, I stopped by EVO in So-Cal and got the idea off one of their rigs parked out front. I thought it would work well, but we shall see. Ya I do open the back allot with the kids and all. I guess we shall see if I can still open the back with the fist use of the slider though.

 

Installed EVO Sliders.

Had a Custom Slider made to protect the rear tire carrier.

 

got my tires balanced, been way too long..

 

Jim those look great!!!!



Does the new tail wag when you crawl over boulders?

 

Haaahaaaaa. I'm gonna put a happy face sticker on it so the car that rear ends me sees a smile before I puncture the radiator.

Well, this week I put in Poly Performance C-gussets, Poly ball joints, Poly steering correction kit, Poly tie rod and Pitbull 39x14.5R17 Mad Dogs....

Thanks for the invite!

 

Jaime, your post/reply didn't show up, or at least it isn't for me. All I see if your name, but no text.

RC

 

Thanks Jim! and RC, yeah yeah

 

That's weird. Now Jim's reply isn't showing, but your most recent one is.

Damn tapatalk app... I guess I'm going to have to actually get up and look at my laptop.

Took them to Gulches to play

 

Changed out both my front axle seals this morning.


Lesson learned, the headache of changing axle seals in a jk is not worth the money saved.... Taking it to someone else next time!

 

It gets easier the more you do it. I've done it three times already!

 

Front diff center self destructed, snapped a rear axle....not a good day on the trail!

 

Pics and details! This has got to be good.

 

JK update weekend

Very productive weekend in garage. I address a few issues and got everything back perfect working condition like rebuilding my winch. In addition I managed to wet sand my paint for a show room look and add few more fresh coats of herculiner to my custom bumpers, frame, and suspension parts. finally went one step further and invented a new storage trunk for 2 door jk with seat removed. works great to hide things under and doubles cargo capacity and provides a wall to enclose a rear subwoofer system. enjoy! feels good to have the jeep back in pristine order. ready for moab this summer!! next weekend custom spare tire carrier!

ever notice how a 6 inch lift in a garage looks huge than on jk owners it gets rc size lol

 

Pulled the t-case skid and attempted to pull the gas tank skid to hammer out the snow run dent. Did not know that the tank skid held the tank itself up. Grrr. I did get to clean about 15 pounds of dried mud from the t-case skid.

Also pulled the X stickers from both sides.

How do I pull the gas tank skid without fuckin up the gas tank?

 

Ha!! I remember David (of AEx) telling me the same thing.. Luckily, his gas tank was about empty when he did it.. That's why I love this forum - learn before you burn...

 

Hehe. Have about a 1/4-1/8 th tank.. if it had been full I would have a pretty massive bruise on me noggin. Ill have to do the strap thing, to keep the tank in place.

 

I fixed my front locker with super glue and Black RTV! And amazingly it works!!!

 

Relocated the evap cannister. Kilby kit.

 

Got her dirty ...she's a happy girl.

 

Installed Rock Krawler Deep Sump Tranny Pan!

and Kilby Shock Skids

 

Installed Rock Krawler Deep Sump Tranny Pan!

Awesome! Can't wait to do this, but I don't agree that it will work with my River Raider Off-Road Skids! I'm looking at the clearance, and I don't see it.

Do you happen to have RROR skids?
