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

[LasVegasJK]

It was a 4x4 shop. No one else in town knew what a C gusset was.. I wasn't going to risk my ball joints due to an inexperienced welder.

Yeah, that's a legit concern.

Looks good man glad onyx has some gussets now you ride with little more confidence

 

[Napalm]

Really missing my rock rails, but did throw on my flag today!

Thanks man I think so too!

 

[Napalm]

Washed up Onyx today so I can pull the top and doors off tomorrow. Will be at work most of the weekend but doesn't mean I can't enjoy it!

 

[Napalm]

Also another shot of these beautiful Gussets!

Gotta love the piece of mind!

Do you springs rest slightly on your C gussets?

They just slightly come into contact with them... I wouldn't necessarily say they rest on it. Did you go with Synergy Gussets?

Yeah "slightly contact" is a better way to describe it. No I got the EVOs just because they were cheaper. They fit perfectly and I don't think the spring contact would make any difference. It's so very slight. Slight enough that I could move it enough with my hand to get paint there.

I wish I would have went with Evos just due to the ease of install. My bill went up about a $100 bucks just because they had to pull the coil/shock/sway bar down and remove the coil

Damn! That sucks! Yeah all we had to do is jack it up, take the wheel/tire off so we had room to work, sit the upper in place hit it a couple times with a hammer for it to seat fully and that was it. The lowers went in perfectly with no hammer work.

Yeah I'm glad it's done now. Piece of mind sure is a nice thing!

Onyx out at the ball field for some Monday night baseball!

Arrived in Pensacola Beach for a short vacation

Looking great Napalm! I just bought the same wheels and tires. I need to pick them up from the shipping company but don't know if I need a larger vehicle to get them home. I was hoping I could get 4 in the back and hang the 5th one on the tire carrier. Do you think I'll be able to get 4 of them in the back of the jeep?
