My Ueber Slow Jeep TJ Build

That's a sharp Jeep! I hope I don't come across a good deal on one of these because I will have some explaining to do when she finds something else parked out behind the barn!

I'm looking at doing something like this too. Primarily for ground clearance, but if I can drop the tailpipe, I'll do it. Glad to hear it's working out for you. I also might get a lower-clearance cat, haven't looked much into that yet though.

It definitely gives you more room out back for the suspension as well. The drone in the Jeep is not that bad either. I ran it a few days without a turn tip and It droned like nuts. Much quieter with the turn down on the muffler.

Thanks Ddays! I hope I never get rid of this Jeep, it's so much fun to work on and play with!
 
I recently got a set of led Rigid foolies for around $30. I'm using them for reverse lights because I ordered a set of tail lights without the built in reverse light. The install was simple, I just wired the new lights in with the oem reverse lights. They are really bright!

Led tail lights arrived!

They are military lights made by Grote with blackout lights. I saw similar lights on Evo TJ in the 2014 SEMA pics and also Evolander and chose to go this route. I'm going to paint the lights black to match my Jeep a little better.

Got the lights prepped for paint and started painting them. That's all I got for now!
 
I finally had some time to remove my old lights and install the new military led lights! I only have one photo but I'll post some more soon. I had to relocate my license plate during this whole process.

I bought a Rough Country 50" single row light bar for my Jeep and got it installed yesterday. The install was really simple. It comes with a plug and play wiring harness with a fuse and relay. I'm really happy with the light output, and I can't wait to use it off road.

what size metal cloaks fenders did you go with for the front and rear I would like to get a set for my LJ, they look awesome on you jeep.
 
I recently purchased and installed a Swag Off-road rear bumper for my TJ as well as the frame tie ins. Very smooth install, fit was perfect and I'm very happy with the look of the bumper.

I want to upgrade to grade 8 hardware on the rear bumper. Also my eBay led reverse lights died so I'm going to order replacements.
 
I know its been a while since you did the cowl snorkle but could you put on here what all you used for it. Maybe a little write up. Thanks man. By the way your tj looks sick:thumb:

Sure, I used an air filter box from a Ford Expedition, and shortened one side about an inch. I used a few different tube adapters to fit the air intake box to the stock TJ intake tube. You will need to cut a hole in the cowl large enough for the back side of the air box to fit through. I forget what size it was but I used either 3" or 3.5" flex tubing on the back side of the air box into the cowl. That's really it. I used a few different online sources to make my cold air intake just make a few Google searches. I know you can buy a complete kit or parts from Spectre. I hope this helps, thanks for the complement!
 
Here's a few recent photos.

Stock flex, no sway bars

Also I broke my soft top so I got a Bestop Trektop NX. Absolutely love the sunrider feature.

Thanks!
One of my stock sway bar links broke so I've been driving without a front sway bar for a while. It got me thinking about sway bar disconnects or Currie's Antirock system. Pulled the trigger on the Antirock and got it installed. It gives me just as much flex as my Jeep had before and don't have to get out and disconnect sway bars. My Jeep handles great on the street too.
