Well got a little bit of work done today but not much. I moved the brake lines out of the way and decided to cut the bump stops and trackbar mount off the frame. I ended up after that grinding the driver side down. I decided not to mess with the passenger side because I know most of where the...

Well started to sand blast the rear axle. Ended up calling it for today. We have been putting off getting a big air compressor for the shop and its finally time to get one. EDIT: forgot to mention why its time lol. The compressor we have been using just cant keep up with the sand blaster.

Well I took the shocks off and also took the track bar off to get it out of my way. Ended up sticking the sterling on the jack and putting it underneath the Jeep to check out and weigh my options on the trackbar mount. A ended up talking to a guy that has helped me out a good bit so far on...

Well the shock towers showed up yesterday, but I forgot to mention it. Not sure if I mentioned earlier, but I got the standard height fronts and the tall height for the rear. After measuring the bottom of the tall tower Im not gonna lie Im a bit worried. Looks like for its width im going to have...

Well believe it or not I got the Jeep up on the lift and the rear end out. To start I knew the battery was dead, but it was so dead my dads TJ near by wouldnt even jump it off. Ended up jumping it off with a jump box and got it up on the lift. I first took the limiting straps off the rear so...

All the cast is finally gone and all factory mounts gone. Now to just get a sand blaster and start sandblasting.

After the Spyderlocks were unmounted I got 2 of the new rings painted before I ran out of paint (picture of what I used below). I also got one of the tires mounted as well.

Here is my thing that I got a feeling most people dont have. Mind if I borrow your waders?

Unmounted the tires from the wheels this morning. I have the wheels up for sale and asking $1500. Here is the link to the thread http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?32064-17x9-5-Spyder-Lock-Beadlocks&p=608651#post608651.

**SOLD** These wheels are 17x9.5 with a 3.5" back spacing and also have the 5x5 bolt pattern. They have only been on my Jeep for a year and probably havent been on for more then 5k miles. The spare is brand new and the wheels are powdercoated red to match a flame red JK and the rings are matte...

Like Ty said you dont want to go with a 6" and 37s. Hell I got a 5.5" and 40s and Id say its still a little much. Here is a picture from when we finished the lift then put the 37s back under it before the 40s were mounted.

Like Trevor said mike and I wanted to finish the toyota first thats why the JK has been pretty slow rolling so far. At this point I can start working on the JK more.Like he said axles are almost under it. The rear front shims have to be figured out to get the pinion angle right and the rear leaf...

Well look what just showed up!! Im really amazed these things showed up so fast. I guess here is the perk to only living hour and half from ORI.

Well today I got about a hr or so to work on the axles. I cut off and ground down what was left of the factory driver side control arm mounts. Also start going at some of the cast.

Anyone out there interested in going out to RBD this year? Morris Mountain is located in Delta AL. I personally don't have a plan set in stone, but I'm going to try and spend all weekend out there. As of right now I know Gates open up on Friday at 8AM. They will be having a bonfire Saturday...

Well didnt get a chance yesterday to get my wheels from my buddy, but I went and got them earlier. With a new ring and a fresh paint job they will be ready. Ill get a 5th sometime down the road for a spare and I will also be getting a new ring soon to replace the one that is bent (obvious in...

Just got this email from Ben at Filthy Motorsports looks like that do have them in stock. Pretty surprised to be honest.

Well didnt work on the axle yesterday cause decided to go deer hunt instead, but did some work today. We cut the factory coil bucket mounts off (still need to be ground to look better), trimmed on the top of the pumpkin to help fit the truss. I also started to take off some of the cast to show...

Well here is a little update. I decided I cant sell my JK because of the attachment that I have to it. I looked at some TJs and LJs and really like them but when i talked to people about selling mine I just couldnt do it. Maybe one day Ill build my 2dr but for now here we go. Ive decided since...

Oh this gets better with every text lmao. Body shop or chop shop hmmm
