Build of my JKU

[Ddays]

Yeah 211LA is what I am looking at now. How heavy would you say the whole kit is just out of curiosity?

20-30# maybe?

 

[MericaMade]

Any one know how to tighten the longer Mopar E-brake cables for the UD60s?

 

[MericaMade]

Well front end is done include the new skids. Still waiting on the rear kit though.

Added the dynomax resonator to the exhaust. With the top being removed the exhaust was just a touch bit too loud and this softened it up.

Looks awesome!

Well the rear is definitely more involved. Got the axle and gas tank out of the way and all factrory mounts cut off today. Those connections on the gas tank are little MFers thats for sure.

 

[TrailHunter]

Man, I thought you were done and wheelin already.

Gas tank is a MF... So long as you didn't break the outer clips you'll be alright, i'll send you an assortment of inner clips if needed.

I had to use the "Monkey on a stick" to get the damn skid plate back on mine, it was almost as much fun as getting it out.

Na, Evos typically 3 weeks got me.

Lol, thanks for the offer I was able to get them all off without breaking them. Might have been easier if I remembered the tank was just over 1/2 full. I ran some ratchet straps from slider to slider and just created a catch point for the tank to sit in. After I dropped it I siphoned 13 gallons out for a easier install.

 

[Weebz]

Damn. Not sure how I missed you being this far into all this. Good luck. I can’t wait to cut mine off. Lol

Lol how much gas did you drink? After I just topped off my f250 gas tank, my fuel pump went out and had to siphon it… drank more than I’d like

Lol that sucks. I have one of those cheap Harbor Freight hand pump hoses. Took a while to transfer but didn't spill any gas or have to taste any.

I should’ve thought about getting one of those!

 

[J&k_Overland]

Those shaker siphon hoses work amazingly well.

The rear is a PITA. Rear brackets on, gas tank back in. Ugggg I'm over it and still need to knock out axle brackets. My welding isn't the greatest but getting better.

Yeah, so more difficult than the front. Those welds look really good. Did you go with the high clearance kit on the rear?

 

[TrailHunter]

I Agree with Bill... the Welds look great.

Thanks and yes I did. I was told the arms would be too short to run it to the current Rockskids so high cIearance it is.
