Wow, I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted in my own thread. :crazyeyes: Were does the time go?

The newest editions since the last post are as follows:

ARB Twin Compressor mounted under the passenger seat. The switch is on the A pillar.
Carolina Metal Master's under seat bracket
Dynatrac Pro-Steer ball joints, Link to install thread ----->http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?10709-Dynatrac-Prosteer-Ball-Joint-Interference/page4&highlight=dynatrac+ball+joint
Welcome Distributing Grab Handles

I'll post up some pics.

This year I really put my Enforcer to the test in CO we stayed in Area 1 from the Charles Wells books and knocked a few of those trails off the bucket list. Even though flash floods were expected in the area we had very little rain on the trails and it was a great camping trip. I'll post a pic thread and link back.

How are you liking your twin under the seat? I have mine under the hood and it is loud so I can't imagine it under the seat.

Honestly I really like it. Its a little noisy but it's not bad. I actually really like the harmonics of both compressors running at the same time. It also adds a little extra heat to the inside when it's cold. :)

I definitely would say it's not painfully loud. Usually everyone is out of the Jeep socializing when airing up anyway so it hasn't been an issue.

well yes we have all seen those sir. the question is more, "is KING now putting them on?" or "is ORE installing them?" the owner of said shocks, Punisher, said he didnt buy them or ask for them, they just showed up that way... Just wondering if they were special KING clamps valved/tuned for my Plush Ride Coils :D


Thank you though sir!!!

Lol I like the sound of the twins running as well. It just sounds strong!

I didn't think of everyone being out of the jeep when airing up so good point. I'm running an air locker off of it so I guess it could be loud (if it was in the cab) when I turn it on to run the locker other than that it wouldn't matter:

Alpine Loop

I love the Alpine Loop, we spent 14 days camping at the Amphitheater Campground in Ouray and drove all over the area, some trails more than once. Some of the high passes had just been plowed a couple of weeks when we were there in last of July first of August so those planning to go keep that in mind. I'm sure Poughkeepsie was nothing for the Animal! We came across a guy pulling his Z71 out of Mineral Springs with a Yukon, he had trashed his transmission and spent the night on the mountain waiting for his uncle to bring his Yukon to pull it out. Your rig looks great.

That sounds like fun! We camped for 7 days near Ouray. If you head south out of Ouray there is the Mineral Creek trail head. We found a nice camp spot maybe 1/4 mile or less from the Poughkeepsie Gulch split. It was a great time!

Subbed - this past weekend was the first time I've gotten to wheel with Dok/ANIMAL, and got to see first hand just how much of a difference 37s make in practice on a JKU. Great break-over and drop angles; I was so jealous watching this rig crawl over ledges while my belly tapped on the same lines running 35s. Definitely inspired to move onto phase two and maybe even crank up a build thread for Thanos to keep me motivated!! :)

Thanks!

Well for me it was really the first time seeing a rig with EVO sliders and the QP and I was a little jealous how sweet they look! Definitely in my future!

Aside from a few minor clearance issues we both rolled through almost the same lines! Your Jeep is set up very nicely! And is very capable with the 35s!

Just read the entire thread. Great build! I have a 13 JKUR and am looking at different builds in an attempt to build mine up.

Living down in Corpus Christi there is not much at all to crawl. Hopefully will make it out to HFs soon. If you ever get down this way look me up.
