Battle buddy build

Ohhhh so you already bought that stuff. Gotcha. May be just fine. Just QC issues on the china stuff from what ive heard.
At least it still has a warrant.

Ya I have everything listed, it has just taken forever!!! The rear king shocks I have been waiting on for almost a month. And the other stuff I ordered took two weeks to get and a week and a half to powder coat.
 
So as parts start trickling in from powder coat, this is the second and third mod to Golden Panda

Thanks I want to get ready for some snow wheeling, do you have any close winter trails you like.

Sorry for the late reply. We try to find forest roads that don't have closed gates. There's only a couple around here though. There's one area just off Hwy 72 that has no gate, but snow melts quick usually. It's an extension of the Bunce School Road area. If you wheel alone, make sure and take extra clothes and are prepared if you get stuck. I always tell someone where I'm going too in case they don't hear from me later, no cell service anywhere near there.

Nice, I may have to try that out! Do you ever go up by Saint Mary's glacier

I haven't. Been meaning to get up there for a couple of years now for snow climbing actually, just can't find the time. I hear it's a great place to practice self-arrest with your axe. But as far as Jeeping, I didn't know there were trails. Are there some Jeep trails around there for snow wheeling?
 
Almost ready for the enforcer!!!! Still waiting on the new shocks but getting the brad locks ready to go.
Of course transferring all the TPMS sensors sucked but it will be worth it not to have a bothersome light on all the time. Just got the j cal to reprogram.

Not the most fun picture but just picked up the rear bumpers, tire carrier, third brake light, sport cage, and rock hard skids ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1450809386.582302.jpg
 
Looks like you are going to have a busy weekend with all the new goodies. That gold and white combo is looking good! :thumb:
 
I had a great drive home today!!! I have to thank a lot of you on this forum. I have been reading and absorbing a lot of information on here. Sometimes it's tough because ppl are harsh as hell to others yet I know understand why. If someone does not get the harsh truth they don't listen.
I finally got my Enforcer lift installed. I'm still in the beginning phases of my build but am so happy I went with the advise to get this lift coupled with the King 2.5's it is a great ride!!!!
I almost freaked out at first. I installed the lift but did not have time to finish the drag link flip. A tip I learned if you don't finish that it drives like shit. Geometry all out messes with highway feel. So here's the pics so far.

And my alignment ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1452571764.506537.jpg
 
Camber is a little heavy to the negative side. Any reason why this would be the case after lifting it? Mine turned out the same way. Not quite that much though mine was like -0.6° right at the end of the spec.

For some reason the camber changed with the new tires. I'm guessing just the weight of them but I didn't align it before so I don't know. I have c gussets so I'm counting on that to keep the camber where it is. As long as it's less than a degree it shouldn't wear tires.
