01WJ build

Yes lol I forgot to order one but it did come with the ugly rollers lol

Typically the steel cable will come with a roller fairlead and the synthetic line will come with the hawse one.

 

[ty Mitchell]

I like the synthetic look a lot better. Eventually I will change the line

What sub-model is your WJ? Quadratrac, Quadradrive, or Selectrac?

 

[ty Mitchell]

It's a quadradrive v8 full time

Cool. That's the one I have. So yours has limited-slip diffs too. You'll have a pretty capable rig with the bigger tires.

 

[ty Mitchell]

Yes siir I've already tested the drive system a lil bit bigger tires will def help

Looks good. I thought about going this route myself. Haven't decided what I want to do yet but that is definitely nice and clean looking.

 

[ty Mitchell]

Thank you. The install wasn't difficult at all and can be done by anyone with basic power tool skills and common sense lol. Very easy to follow directions

 

[ty Mitchell]

Here it is done and a then (3 months ago) as now. Still have a long way to go it seems lol

 

[WJCO]

Looks good. How easy or hard is it to get to the controls?

 

[ty Mitchell]

Not hard at all I had to make an opening in the grill due to my lightbar location and I put the plug adapter near the rollers

 

[ty Mitchell]

Not too bad

Be careful with that stuff. Even if it DOES fix your leak, keep a close eye on your temps. That stuff can cause blockages too. After you run it through your system for awhile, I would change the tstat no matter what.

 

[ty Mitchell]

Will do but I had to remove the tstat prior to doing it

Rough country steering stabilizer and jks disconnects came today.

I'm about to do a motor swap not sure if I wanna keep the v8 or get the 4.0 v6

Cool ride bro.

Can you do a LS swap? Otherwise there are tons of Straight sixes that you can overhaul.

Thanks bro and I'm not sure but I will look into it

Do some good research. The V8 has a lot of power that you'll lose if you go to the I6, however, the I6 4.0 is a great motor. If you do go to the 4.0 you will probably want to re-gear.
