The build of Jenny

Caught the Bug
This build (for me) actually started in April of this year (2016) when I bought my Jeep. after thinking for a while and just being so in love with my Jeep I started saying "I love you Jenny". So there's where her name came to be! Now since this started 8 months I will have to get caught up and follow up with pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks guys! As you can see, she was already set up with a 3.5" teraflex lift and 35" falkens (unfortunately lol). Unfortunately there was some work done by shops prior to my possession and the work wasn't too great to say the least.

Sadly enough just a few weeks after bringing her home I got myself into a bit of a fender bender and snapped the front d30 housing... fortunately this was a perfect time to pick up my buddies rubi 44 with an evo truss and c-gussets along with prosteers and a flipped draglink.

Damn that sucks. Good thing your buddy had one available. Good timing.

By mid August I had a pretty nasty lower intake manifold gasket leak and as we pulled things apart it would seem that I was on the verge of a small head gasket leak. We pulled the engine apart, cleaned and polished everything, replaced every seal (aside from the timing chain), drilled and tapped a few exhaust manifold bolts that had sheared off in the head, and installed wrapped headers.

At the same time I bought the rear rubi axle off my buddy. Although the locker doesn't work it does have the 4.10 gears to match the front (had front driveshaft pulled for a bit), and chromolly shafts.IMG_1481602794.248452.jpg

Thanks! Yes we will! Unfortunately I'm pretty booked for a while at this point. Running lower terminator in late Jan with a size capped group and I may do a run in early feb if I can swing it between work and racing (I'm a crew chief for a utv desert racing team). After first or second week of January though I won't even be driving the Jeep until after my Moab trip in march.

This was after a quick run that mainly is just one very long and large staircase. Unfortunately everyone was focused on spotting and pictures were the last of our worries

Been chasing death wobble for a few weeks now. Trac bar kept coming loose. The trac bar appears to be tight now. Still have death wobble though. Have a drag link flip installed, caster is at about 4.5* and can't go anymore with lca's. Ordered hubs that will be here on Wednesday. Also am already running a RE adjustable trac bar, prosteer balljoints a welded on trac bar mount.

Have you checked that all adjustment sleeves are tight, and checked on the drag link that the open part of the clamps line up with the seam in the adjustment sleeve?
