Trail Jeeps build
- Thread starter Fir-na-tine
- Start date
Fir-na-tine
Caught the Bug
The Jeep itself is 90% finished.......I believe the PS trail cage, Synergy B pillar harness bar, and PS C posts are in. Also changed out the Warn fair lead to a Hawse type and replaced the steel line with 80' Viking synthetic w/safety thimble.......added 21" LED light bar in front of the Warn Powerplant......that should be finished shortly......what we are waiting on to complete this build is the Advanced Adapters Atlas 2 Speed......there was some discussion about it not working with 2012-up automatics well apparently that has been solved and one should be at TJ in 2 weeks......once they get it and swap out my Sport case we will be in business.......end of the month early September is what I'm looking at........I miss my rig big time but Tim tells me it will be worth the wait.........Tim has been awesome keeping me up to date on where we're at on the build and updating me with pictures......The rig looks awesome.....what a transformation.....looking forward to many years of wheeling challenges and enjoyment :thumb:

May 6th till now so far..........There was delays from Dynatrac and King that added to the length of the build time though......they didn't really get started until June 15th......The Atlas piece and this puzzle is finished

As mentioned I'm sure it will be more than worth the wait. Sucks you have been without it for this time. The second you see it in person though I'm sure you will forget all about not having it.
It's looking great so far.

Advanced Adapters let me know that the adapter piece that mates my automatic transmission with the Atlas 2 speed TC won't be available until 9/18.......so 6 weeks from now the TC will be shipped instead of 2 weeks........I can't win LOL :grayno:

Well it looks like that's what we are going to do........Tim is going to give Bruiser in Clearwater Florida a call on Monday and see if we can have the Atlas shipped there when it's ready and have them install it......I'll be flying out as soon as I can secure coverage at work.......Hopefully run a few trails with the Trail Jeeps while I'm out there then head home the long way......:thumb:
