The Adventure and Build thread of "Big Red"

Got a few things done between yesterday and today, still have more to do as the 1/4 pounder took a good bit longer than expected but just glad it's all done.

Synergy tire tod and Draglink certainly made a difference in my steering so hopefully that'll buy me some time.

Still need to wire up light and rock lights after I install switch-pros, do rear diff cover and finish setting up CB bar and radio, hopefully my tire carrier shipped today or tomorrow and can get that done.

Looking good. Q pounder is definitely time consuming install.
What do you think about diff covers?

I think pretty recently, wasn't sure I wanted to go full stinger right yet so this was perfect. Had to drill my only holes as the light didn't match up with the provided once but not a big deal

It really is, lots of on and off. Between the spacers to fit winch, d ring mounts and bar, I didn't have enough bolt length so had to drop a spacer which makes the winch touch the grille and the bumper touch the sway bar motor so probably source some longer bolts if it bothers.


I'm pretty impressed with the covers. They are definitely stout and I like the ridges to help protect to lower bolts. Figured id swap them out when I had all the steering off, needed a fluid change anyway. I'd recommend them

Looking good! Definitely like the look of the 1/4 pounder with the bull bar. [emoji106]

Just catching up before work. You’ve been doing quite a bit. I’m having the problem as with my JK, can’t seem to 100% make up my mind which direction I want to go with everything. The more builds I see the more confused I get. Lol.

Red is looking good.

Thanks man, yea trying to get a few things done. I know there are/were things I want, still some up in the air, well and I need more $ for some of them lol. Fortunately, I'm not in a huge rush to complete my build.

Slowly getting a few more things done, waiting on JL install kit for switch pros, should be here tomorrow. Got the Lux lights all ran. Doesn't really have a great spot to mount in the front with all the plastic on the inner fender but need to get a little creative or change some things up. Otherwise super easy, I got the pro installer, it's pretty nice but certainly not necessary. Does give you the option to have 2 zones, but I won't do that. Having it does create another thing you need to stash under the hood, which on a JL is tight.

Will finish running CB power wire when I run switch pros lead tommorow. Still waiting on my tire carrier to ship, haven't gotten a response from Rusty's yet, can compete the CB set up when I do all that.

Got the rear diff cover installed too. IMG_20200923_172542.jpegIMG_20200923_171648.jpeg
