    Got her on all fours and rolling today. She looks amazing! Also centered the steering wheel, and cut the rails. The rails aren't on in these pics, obviously. They may need to be cut more in the future. We also took the end caps off of the front bumper. Still waiting on the front shocks to...

    Thanks for the complements everyone. I'm back at it today, lone wolfing it. So far I have the rear axle free. At the cutting of the track bar bracket step. After that it's brake lines then reassemble with new stuff. I'm not in a big rush at this point, due to not having shocks for the...

    Posting before measurements. Will edit in after measurements when done, which may be a while. Was only able to finish the front today. Drag link was a bitch. I'm tired and going to bed.

    Had a friend of mine weld on the C gussets today. He left a couple spots not done, as the coils and sway bar were in his way. He'll finish it up after the lift is installed, and then we'll paint them.

    I put the install on the back burner until I could afford tires. My plan was spacers and stock wheels, but when my "Jeep stimulus package" came in, I decided to go ahead and get wheels too. 37/12.5/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers ATX Slabs I plan to start putting the tires on the wheels this...

    Now for the actual build pics. Nothing is actually built yet, but I do have parts in the garage awaiting install. Up to this point, all I had done is install a Cobra 75 CB, and purchased some ARB recovery gear. I bought my lift back in October, when Trail Jeeps had the sale. EVO Enforcer 4"...

    Here is a pic from Gulches, I think. These are from the End of Summer Run 2015 at Uwharrie National Forest This one is from Windrock park, specifically at the Flats at the end of the day. One of my favorite experiences so far. I've been back to Windrock once since then, with 2 more trips...

    Hello everyone, welcome to my build thread. Please keep in mind that this is my first Jeep, and so obviously my first build of a Jeep or any 4x4. I dabbled in imports when I was younger, but lost interest as I became older. I'm not sure what drew me to 4x4s, other than wanting a more versatile...

    Used AVE ProCal - how can you tell it's been cleared?

    Slightly off topic, but I just bought a new Procal and was reading through the instructions. I swear it does not tell how to reset it. It just says that it is VIN locked until it is reset.

    What is this part?

    Reminds me of the plastic plug that came in my shotgun magazine to limit capacity.

    North Georgia Trip in the Beginning of June

    Here's a pic off the back side of the mountain. A big contrast to the lake side, as seen in Twisted's post. Probably one of my favorite wheeling trips so far. Probably because I had THardy co-piloting. And the new Protek system lets you not be so paranoid. Thanks for the run guys and gals!

    2015 JKX - East Coast

    Anyone know the specs on the suspension/etc on this Jeep? I'm wanting to lift mine and possibly keep stock fenders as well.
