Since this thread got bumped anyway, let me start by saying beautiful rig! Have you done anything new to it since the original build or are you just enjoying it at this point?
 
Well I guess I knew this time would come. I have stripped down the wife's jeep and sold the axles, wheels, tires, etc.

We have ordered PR60's, hydro assist, EVO hi-steer and slabs for her. Hopefully we will be finished and ready for our Moab trip in March :thumb:

When we met in Reno, I figured you would get her on a DTD setup too. Are you still going that route or will you keep running the bolt-ins for a while?

The plan now is for her to stay on bolt-on's. As much as I would love to spring for DTD's right now it's just not in the cards.

Even without the DTD it's still one hell of a nice ride. The 60's, hydro and high steer will make it just that much better. If you did it all at once then she would have nothing to look forward to. ;)
 
I have to admit I am a little envious of the axle you are swapping out. :cool: Looks like a fun project. How long until the new ones arrive?
 
That's gonna be one awesome rig! Can't wait to see you guys in action!

Well it's 6-8 weeks plus a week for shipping. With the holidays I'm just not sure of arrival time. Once I get them in sure a week or two and it will be rolling. Just have to do some drive line changes possibly (length) and she'll be good! :yup:

Nice rig! I'm clearly in the wrong line of work however! Awesome color though. Always liked the color matched rock rings.
