I normally dont post stuff, but I have to say, finally seeing these tires on my Jeep has me excited.
So I guess I am starting a build thread! :clap2:
I went with 37*13.50 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro's, and after an intial test run, and lots of massaging of the pinch seam, this build is finally starting to take shape.
The shocks are Rancho RS5331 and 5330, and the springs are 2.5in lift springs from Rough Country. I also have JKS Quicker Disconnects.
Up front is a G2 Core 44 with 35 spline chromoly axleshafts and an Auburn ECTED (locker or strong limited slip, it works for me so far) The rear is the stock, non-Rubi Dana 44. Both are 4.88 gears from G2 gear and axle.
I run the Superchips 87 tune. The front bumper is made by Rock Hard 4x4 with a Warn VR10000 and 2 KC Hi-lites, the rear is a Bestop Highrock. The Jeep also has a Uniden 510 CB.
This week I'm getting extended bumstops for the rear from Teraflex, as well as installing a 1.25in Rough Country body lift.
The Mystery Machine name was given to the Jeep because, when I bought it with 50k on it a year ago, it already had that girly orange cloud, and I honestly can think of a million things I would rather spend money and time on than removing it. (it is actual hand painted old school pinstriping)
New mod done this evening:
I didnt like having to use velcro to stow the swaybar when i disconnected, so I drilled and tapped two half inch holes and used some Grade 8 bolts with holes drilled through them to make some hangers. After checking with the steering at full lock and suspension fully flexed, they are always atleast 2 inches from the tire, so I think I am safe!
You can see where I messed up the first hole, so I re-positioned and drilled another one. Hopefully my frame doesn't crack, Im probably going to weld that hole up soon.
Newest mod, Rough Country Body Lift. I dont believe the gap is that bad, and the tires have plenty of clearance now.
