My Jeep Build

[WJCO]

Installing the trim.



Trim installed on the front.




Sick looking jeep:beer:! You did a great job on your fender flares, inspiring me to do the same once I get rid of my 33s. Where did you get that trim if you don't mind me asking?

I 2nd that. Where'd you get the trim? Looks great.

Thanks! :beer:

I got the trim from O'Reilly Auto Parts, I think it was around $11 dollars for an 18 foot roll.

EVO Sliders installed. I used a piece of birch wood, a floor jack and jack stands to get them in place, I used half inch spacer blocks to hold my measurements off the pinch seam.



Double checking measurements.





A shot of the spacer blocks.



Done.





These things are stout, ready to try them out!

Thanks! Pretty easy install, just take your time and make sure your measurements are the same on the drivers side and passenger side so they match. :beer:

Installed new front axle shafts, Revolution DC-D44-JK Discovery Series.



Out with the old, in with the new.





The passenger side ready to go in.

Not really a mod so to speak, but I did recently add an ARB fridge.



No more buying ice every other morning on week long camping trips

Last time I was out my tires rubbed my front bumper at full flex and full turn. I plan on changing to an EVO or LoD at some point, but there are other things higher on the list right now. So, I decided to make my current bumper into a true "stubby".

Before



Getting ready to go under the knife. I ended up using a jigsaw, mainly due to a clean cut with minimal grinding. A torch or plasma would have been a lot faster no doubt. But the jigsaw actually worked well.



After cutting, before welding "closeouts" or end pieces on.



Getting ready to weld the ends on.



After I welded the ends on.



Got it painted and reinstalled.







Bet the tires won't rub now, haha!

Finally got rid of those stupid drop brackets! Installed EVO LCA's. To me, I noticed a lot better feeling after the install, a more solid feel, and no more "popping" from time to time. Shoulda done this a long time ago!
