The build of Jenny

Haven't made much progress in the last few weeks. After I took the Jeep in for the 500 mile service on the gears the front ring gear blew while leaving their shop.... been a whole fiasco. Should have the Jeep back again tomorrow or Monday...

Not sure, I was standing there during the entire service. Wear pattern looked good, the tech didn't do anything that would have messed with the gears and put everything back together correctly. I pulled out of the shop and got up to about 40 when the gear broke. Not a fun experience!

And he put fluid back in? Sorry to hear, but hope they're taking care of you.

Did you add a locker? There is a guy here that does gears and he messed up a guys gears not grinding a groove for oil in a jeep front end but I can't remember the exact details. He has shop rules on his wall and #4 I believe is grinding that groove. I posted this once years ago and whosever jeep it was is a member here and knew exactly what it was all about

Just realized that I had not posted any updates here in a while. I’ve had a crazy year with lots of trips and excitement. Don’t have many photos to post but I’ll try to catch up with what I have.

With that shop I used back in May I ended up going through a whole debacle. I would tell everyone not to go there. Long story short but the jeep had to go back in 3 times and the final they ended up picking it up from me at my house in Flagstaff (about 2.5hrs from the shop).

Since then I have done a few things that I’ll try to recall. One of which was a Crawler Conceptz body mount tire carrier with a license plate relocation. I’ve been really happy with it so far. IMG_7118.jpg *this pic doesn’t show the license plate relo.

Front antirock (love it without the hard top on the jeep, it’s a little top heavy though the with top on)IMG_7514.jpg

Got my KC rocklights installed. Used a 25lb magnet bolted to the light and stuck up in the rear wheel wells IMG_7079.jpg

Since my last update I’ve done quite a bit. Things are just the things I can think of:

-Full Rockhard sport Cage
-Carbon 1350 front shafts
-Evo Rockstar skids
-Evo mini liners
-PRP harnesses
-RPM Steering 1 ton aluminum tie rod
-Went back to stock track bars and added a raised rear track bar mount
-Ditched the AntiRock and went Rubi sway bar with Evo no limits manual disconnect
-Nitto Ridge Grapplers
-JL rubi wheels (going away soon)
-homemade license plate bracket
-Rear rancho 9000s
-1350 drive shafts
-PSC hydro assist w/ redneck ram box
-Trek Armor front seat covers
-Rough Country floor mats
-Evo oil pan and trans skids
-Dynomax Comp Crawler exhaust w/ added race bullet to quiet it a bit
-Synergy DDB adjustable rear short arms
-MCE narrow fenders
-Bubba Rope 100’ synthetic winch line w/ PS fairlead
-Trucklite headlights

And I’m sure a few other odds and ends along the way.

As she sits today with a few broken ring teeth and loose pinion in the rear diff. Going to Bubba next Friday.
