I also received my Volant intake with the Donaldson powercore filter.

Never have heard of that filter before. I read up on it just a few minutes ago. Technology behind it seems interesting. Curious to see how well it holds up to the dust particles out here. Would you happen to know the p/n for the Volant Intake kit with the Donaldson Filter?

Looked great yesterday Adam!

Thanks!

Bent my tie Rod on the rubicon looking for a new one...also have a billet JK what tie Rod are you running? Like the color looks beefy

Welcome to WAL.

I took the 1/4 pounder to a buddy of mine for paint. He did a great job. I wanted it to look like raw aluminum to go with my theme. I know evo offers it in aluminum now but i went with steel for strength.

That bumper paint job came out sweet.

Lay Sunday I went out to the desert with a few friends and got some good pics of the new bumper.
Here's a cool one from instagram with some filter




No filter


Yesterday I snagged up a couple amber Rigid Industries Duallys from Craigslist.


Also finally replaced my ticking throwout bearing

Bumper looks great. Definitely unique.

I did my 5.13 gear install with the help of my friend Chris.





I've already done the 500 mile break in as well as fluid change. Night and day difference from the 4.10 gears.
Also got some rigid industries duallies setup on the front bumper.


Helped a friend with a lift and fender trim. She was about to get a rubicon express kit from 4 wheel parts for $2800. I was shocked. The shocks ended up being backordered so she returned the whole thing and ordered the evo enforcer after some persuasion. Here is the result.

Thanks! Do you have any class 3 stuff?

Not yet my goal is to get my trust set up and some forms trough this year for a couple of items

I went to a couple local jeep events this weekend and did another rti ramp.
I got 875 on it the last time. This was the first time I've deflated for the ramp and i got 931. I was pretty happy.



Went to another meet and greet after that one at a local BBQ place.


When we left there we decided to do some night wheeling. This was the first time using the new gears off road. We did Lower Terminator and Judgement Day.

Nice pics! I really want to run Upper and Lower Terminator in May once I get my Jeep back from Evo. Seen a few pics from trail runs there and it looks fun.

Dam. Just read threw the entire build and I'm drooling. That is one of the sickest builds I've seen. I love those wheels. I've been looking to order some bead locks and thought I liked the slabs but the ones you got are I think the ones!!!

Thank you! I love the Chamber Pros. They definitely take a beating.

That is for sure! I might have missed it but are you still on factory shafts?

Yes i am front and rear. I will be doing fronts soon but the next item for me is the Evo tire carrier.

Oh ok. Man I'm light on the skinny peddle and we don't have a ton of crazy rock stuff up her and I'm sketched out being on factory shafts.

Those evo tire cariers are sweet. The wife wants one for her jeep.

I believe Eddie said that the factory shafts aren't weak it's just the C clips can fall out. When the clip comes out the bearing cap can wiggle out and break the shaft and possibly lower ball joint. The main benefit of the chromoly is the full circle clips. I just keep an eye on them.

Yeah my next purches was going to be shafts but i think ill go ahead now and get the enforcer kit and the rest of the currie arms

Evo tire carrier came in




All wiring was ran through the tubing and i made a running light/third brake light behind the evo logo

After getting it all mounted i found out that i was missing the lug plate that the wheel mounts to. That got shipped out today and i should have it in a couple days.

Looks great! How did the install go? Was it fairly easy to install and align so that it opens and closes smoothly?
