Hinrichs build

:cheesy: I was talking with drew@ORE this past weekend and said the same thing. His opinion was not to do the rocker skins but the rear skins.

I would agree with drew. If i could only get one it would be the rear skins.

hmm, maybe ill just call today and see how long it would take to get them since I know once I get the sliders at my house ill want to install right away.

I am the same way. I don't know how people can stand to have new parts laying around. My lift sat in my garage for a week and a half and was driving me nuts.

Front and rear shocks

 

[bl17z90]

Thats not too bad. Thats about how mine sit.

You could check with trail jeeps and see if they have them in stock. I can't remember if drew said they had them or not.

And install the EVO rock star skids and your shocks will be fine. My shocks look the same as well.

 

[hinrichs]

Evo had the skins in stock....so just placed the order. Now to figure out if I want to buy the better nutsert tool or use whats included.

nice ! rear or rocker?

Rocker for now, rear will happen soon enough im sure, then I just need to make myself not order the tire carrier along with them.

Cool. Yeah good luck with that, how do you get the rear skins and NOT the carrier

The genright actually still looks very good along with the skins.

 

[FuriousDz]

Also if you think you're going to do the rear skins as well it may be worth it to get the nutsert tool. The $$$ just dont stop

 

[Trembley]

Jim I'm sure you can find someone from the east coast crew to take that gem right carrier off your hands when you decide to get the EVO.

Here are a couple pics you asked for the genright and Evo skins looks and performs great.

What would be the most cost effective way to move the rear axle back a little bit?

 

[OverlanderJK]

Adjustable uppers and lowers.

 

[jkmadness]

Be aware that the rear upper coil mount is stationary and the coils wind up on a s shape that can be corrected somehow with adjustable coil perches, or a new one welded in the right place

 

[hinrichs]

Im basically looking for like 1" to kind of recenter the rear wheel in the wheel well. Ideally id like to just do an 8" stretch....but thats a long way off.

That should do it then

 

[jkmadness]

What I would do since you weld your own stuff is get the control arms like Overlander said and at the same time recenter the wheel in the wheel well and also correct the pinion angle, then grind off the lower coil perches and weld new ones in the right spot

This idea sounds like the cheaper option if you're not wanting to spend the money on new upper and lower control arms. it's what I'd do if I wanted to recenter my rear axle.
