rtguy1 Stretched JK in Progress Pics

rtguy1 said:
figured i'd throw a few old pics in for those that were following. these are off the ore facebook. the tower pic was posted yesterday but i believe its from about a week or two ago. also shown are the Evo custom stretch longarms. These are sweet in person, the pic doesnt do em justice. The rig has the Evo high clearance brackets which move the mounts forward, while the axle is now around 12" farther back. These arms are loooonnnngggg. The lowers are 1/2" wall DOM tubing just like the ones on EVO1. Beefy to say the least.

I was curious as to where that tower was located in the vehicle.... Is it sticking up vertically through the tub in the rear?

Yes, the tower is angled a bit, but yes coming through the tub.

yep. this is thru the tub. the back seat still fits too....lol but i prob gonna toss it in the garage. this will allow for maximum articulation and the lowest possible ride height.

Looks that way from the pic. You can see the cutout for the OEM jack towards the bottom of the pick. You can also see the plastic circle clip for locking down the OEM cubby cover.

Edit: looks like I'm slow typing this morning. Lol.

No not yet! I've been super busying and I as much as I wanted to start I didn't want to spend my spring break this week without a Jeep. So I'll probably be starting next week. :yup:
 
LoPo said:
LOL! Well, I'll trade you the steering box for your 2dr Jeep? :cheesy::cheesy:

Oh okay! I know some long arms the tank gets in the way lol

as far as i know there is no issue...lets hope it stays that way. vengeance did not require a new tank. they did relocate the fuel filler forward of the wheel well as seen in the pics of the new skins.
 
have this sitting in the garage too. the rear section is still in transit and then its off to powdercoat next week. have some body armor 4x4 trail doors hiding in the garage somewhere too. thinking about doing black chrome powdercoat on the cage...:thinking:

Is that tower going to be closed off somehow? :thinking: I'm just picturing mud and all sorts of crap coming up through that hole into the back.
