Ford Shock Tower w Long Travel Shocks Towers and Rancho shocks are installed. It took 3x as long as expected to get it setup right and there was a lot of trial and error but the results speak for themselves. Ill provide some details the next couple days on how it was done and what issues we...

I have most of the supplies in. I spent considerable time doing some calculations and retaking measurements trying to figure out the optimal shock length. I estimated I could get 2.5 inches higher with the ford shock tower and drop the bottom mount by about 2" and rotate it as well. The top...

My next project I have already started planning and measuring for. I read some articles on doing a longer shock upgrade. Since the biggest limiting factor I have for the front of the JK is shock length I think this mod could give a lot of bang for the buck. The plan: Use Ford Shock Towers...

Axle Truss, HD Trackbar and ARB Front Locker. With a Week to go before my next trail outing we spent this past weekend installing a front ARB locker I pickup up used off craigslist. It seemed in good shape despite it is an older model but for less than half the cost of a new one I will give it...

I enhanced my tire carrier after straightening it from being bent twice in the last month.

I am considering the blue. lol. I am also pulling the whole front axle in a couple weeks. I bought a craigslist ARB front locker and the pieces of the Artec truss that are in the mail. That will be an opportunity to do some custom painting. Some tactful painting anyway. In the Spirit of...

Finally figured out exactly what that noise was when I was at full flex on the passenger front. The spring was making contact with the frame and catching a little sometimes. Cheap dealer lift FAIL. Easy enough to remedy. I did some research and decided on the MetalCloak JK Wrangler Long Travel...

Thanks Everyone for showing the guys from Seattle a good time....

Locker and gears installed. So far everything is working great. To fix my shift points, speedometer, low tire pressure warning and to get some overall improvements to power, I ordered and ran the SuperChips Flashpaq 3872. Driving around for the first time It felt more responsive, got no...

The rear locker and gears are installed. Some final adjustments and everything can be put back in and lines connected.

Yep Well get it done in time. Finishing touches on the front today. Ill get the electrical on the locker done and we will make some headway with the rear locker and gears. Yes we are doing the gears ourselves. There is a lot of quadruple measuring but its coming out. That trick to heat the...

Seems a lot of us are trying to get some last minute upgrades in. Currently gearing for 4.88 and installing ARB locker in rear. It will be done in time. Finishing the front gears today and compressor is mounted and line ran. tuned CB Also. My Current state.

Next Item for install. Yukon 4.88 Gears. Gear and kit have arrived. ARB Locker\Compressor following in a week. Also a big thanks to NORTHRIDGE4X4 for giving me a good deal on these.

I came out relatively unscathed. The Dodge Ram took a few dings. Ok maybe more than a few. Driver door rear dented in and now driver doors not closing. Front passender side turn signal light broke. Rear passenger brake light plastic tore off. We spent couple hours at an autoparts store...

It really is beautiful up here in Washington.

Thanks. The bumper was a lot of work but I am glad my idea worked out. Did some wheeling for the day. Had to see how the builds is progressing. The Dodge Ram and I in my JKU went to Walker Valley to meet a TJ owning friend I met on the trail. The SEA-JKU performed fantastic with the sway bar...

I opted to go for an over the mirror mounted CB and a License plate mounted Antenna. I read it gets good reception in this license plate location as opposed to behind the spare tire. Plus I did not have to put any holes in my jeep beyond the plastic license plate holder. Got the antenna...

Next item up for install. Trail communications was a more pressing need since I am going wheeling next weekend and then meeting a bunch of Wayalife members on April 11th at Browns Camp.

I included a couple pictures of the welded areas as I found no other pictures anywhere for these sliders. I spent some time googling before we started.
