Napalm's NEW 2014 Jeep JKU Sport Picture diary/Build thread!

[Napalm]

I have a question for you on your EVO leveling kit? Did you install this similar to Eddies budget boost write up or did you just remove the old springs and install the new ones in the front? I am just trying to figure out what I need to do when i order mine here shortly.

Thanks

It's a similar install but all you have to do is remove the front wheels, release the bottom bolt of the shock and the brake line bracket and sway bar and you have enough room to droop your axle to remove the front spring and put in a new one. The rear is the same except you a putting a spring spacer on top of the spring. It's a very simple install that only took us about 3 hours, and an alignment was not needed.

Thank you. I'm enjoying every minute of it, I know it's nothing fast but its a budget build.

Looking really nice. I'm really liking how the Evo leveling kit looks. Did you end up putting the rear spacers in? I was reading through your build thread to find out and got lazy lol.

Yes I did. Without them, the front almost sits a little too high for my tastes.

Do you like it with the rear bumper off? I can't make up my mind. I was thinking about the Evo rear fascia.

Rear bumper off. It makes the Jeep look higher and more like an off road Jeep. Also makes for better departure angles when out on rocks!

Another dusting of snow last night, decided to get out and play on it this time!



Back on dry land


Decided to give my top a nice thorough scrub clean and it looks great! Thanks Eddie for the tip!

After three weeks of pretty harsh weather, my Jeep was the farthest thing from clean.

So a nice Fire station bath today in between 911 calls.

Beautiful God given sunset yesterday evening.

I use a scrub brush, like one for dishes. I use it and a bowl of soap and water, scrub it down pretty well with the brush and then wipe the soap off with a damp rag. Works very well, looks brand new after it.

303 works well too from what I have heard.

Im gonna give that a try. I use Mcguires VLR on it to bring the shine back

Try tire shine! I've heard that works.
