Its been awhile since ive posted on here but not to much has happened to my rig in the last few months.
But here some stuff Ive done to my rig in recent weeks.
I replaced both my unit bearings, the drivers side had some serious play in it. But when changing it my stupid ass forgot to take the wheel spacer off.... :doh::doh: But thanks to Eddies write up it was a very simple easy process.
Got my tires rotated and balanced after running the Rubicon... the Discount Tire techs decided to use the floor lift thing... and I watched and laughed as it went up but my tires stayed on the ground... to much travel for them... :cheesy:
I installed new Draglink and Tie Rod... and you know what my rig drives AMAZING now solid steering :thumb:
Installed some rocker skins made by a friend of mine who has shop in Tucson, they are his prototype skins for JKs but I like them a lot, was nice to help out a friend. Though I already had welded on sliders so getting the skins on was a fun challenge... we took out the body bolts on one side and jacked the body off the frame on one side at a time till it was high enough to get in and put the nut-certs in. Was a fun interesting process but I like how it turned out.
Went wheeling a few weeks ago on a trail called Smasher Canyon just to the south of Flagstaff.... Well it lived up to its name. Smashed my taillight plastic off and a smallish dent in the corner. Ill be ordering some EVO Corner armor here soon. and by the next few months an Evo Carrier :wings::wings:
Everyone made fun of my wiring job... so I redid it and make it look better. Still no professional job but you know what everything works so it works for me! :cheesy:

Got my Wayalife stickers today, thought the silver would look good with the factory stickers. Decided to place them in a bit different spots, didn't want to put the banner across the windshield so when I replace it, multiple times probably, I won't have to replace the banner too.

What rock sliders are those?

They are of my own making. Made them with 120 wall DOM tubing with my brother a few years back. I like them and the fact that we made them ourselves makes me feel accomplished :crazyeyes:

Finally got around to cleaning up the rear and sprayed some Rustoleum Bedliner on the rear frame... Time to get some Evo D-Rings and shackles
Also you guys have any suggestions on exhaust systems? I'm really tired of having a full size trash can hanging from the rear and would like to hear a couple suggestions about some good systems.

Nice banner. Any particular reason you have baby dolls hanging from your tree? You need someone to talk to?

That Rustoleum Bedliner has become my new best friend. Creates a nice finish for a quick rattlecan job.

Looks good :thumb:. I have ran 2 version of the dynomax exhausts and have been very happy. Currently have the evo comp system but ran the "rock crawler" version before and the only difference was where the tail pipe ended. Great system for the price and sounds awesome.

Hehe, yea, for once I'm not culpable - that is my sister in law's idea of Hallowween decorating.
It's funny you mention the babies, as my son and I were just talking about the crazy things you see in the background of pictures people post.
Have a Jeep Day.

Thanks man, not a big mod but made a difference for sure! Okay gotcha I'll have to look into those a little more. I feel like I was reading somewhere that on two doors you have to do a little trimming for the dynomax, is that true?
