i'm an idiot before coffee.

I bought the Synergy 3 inch multirate coils this time around. From what I have gathered from other posters, these springs are more like 3.5 inches of lift. Should i go with adj trackbar or a drag link flip and trackbar bracket? Will I lose uptravel with the drag link flip?

I sold my original bumper and the bolts that go with it thinking I wouldn't need them since I bought a rear fascia. But, I just picked up an Evo rear bumper from a wal member, and it requires the reuse of the stock hardware. I have the 4 long bolts that hold the hitch on and the bolts that...

Test fitting the motobilt bumper before I take it to the powder coater. Wrenching in the condo garage is getting old. Can't wait for the new casa to finish. Full 3 car garage here I come. :rock:

More goodies I bought a Motobilt bumper and skid. It's called The Hammer. Had the hoop customized to be slightly taller and added some light tabs to it. Going to get it powder coated in a black that is easy to rattle can. Will post pics when it's mounted.

i rearranged my gas tank skid. :cheesy:

Originally, I bought some Synergy skids. But, when I got them in, I realized I wasn't a fan of the way the oil pan skid used brackets off the engine mount. Not only have a few people had issues with bolts loosening up, I am currently in an apartment while my new house is being built. That will...

Not an addition to the build. but i did get a chance to mess around on an old caliche pit. the Recon factory springs seem to bit a touch taller than normal Rubicon springs. i'm betting if i add some wheel spacers i can stuff some large tires with very, very minimal fender rub without cutting...

A guy made an honest mistake and sent me an Evo rear bracket designed for coil overs rather than normal springs. He refunded my money and told me to do with it as I please. So, I'm paying it forward. found someone that could use it. all is well that ends well.

but portals. :celebrate:

Just riding around the ranch for the first time with Grendel

Synergy Skids - blemished. got them 1/2 off. :wings:

Does anyone have the hardware details for the evo roll center. I picked this up from a guy, but he didn't have the ubolts. Sent a note to the evo email address but haven't heard back yet. TIA

Evo Roll Center Bracket. Won't be installed for awhile. But, at $35 bucks, I think it was worth it to snag. It's just missing the ubolt hardware. Anyone know the sizes?

Anybody still running Currie's up front? I installed mine yesterday, and I watched the Currie installation video on youtube. They installed the arms with the zerks facing down. However, they are clearly at risk of getting knocked off. Is anybody here running Currie's? Did you swap the arms so...

As I mentioned, this will be a slow build as I pick up parts when I can find deals. Had picked up some Currie Lower Front CAs for my old JKR during cyber Monday. Well, I decided to get The Grendel before I ever installed them. Picked up Currie Upper Rear CA's during a Prime day. Went to see...

Currie rear uppers. Slowly piecing together my suspension build. Grabbing parts when I find deals.

Took the end caps off the front bumper. Trying to decide if I am going to keep the stock front bumper. Already know I'm going bumperless in the rear when I mount the Evo carrier. I don't think this is going to cut it.

Yesterday, I started on my first mods. The Grendel will be getting built up a little more slowly than my old Gecko JKR. First some Daystar hood latches to stop hood flutter. I'm too OCD and cannot stand the hood flutter. Amazed that FCA never fixed this. Second, Grabars. These are nice and...

Left Lynchburg and stopped at Shiloh National Military Park. Unfortunately, it was raining off and on so we spent most of the time just cruising around. We spent that night in Memphis. Ate ribs and listened to some live bands. Next day we made it home to Texas.
