To tell you the truth, I sort of wanted to see what carnage you could do to your Jeep... ;)

One day I'll have my Jeep built enough to go wheeling with you. :crazyeyes:

All you need to do is cut the line to your front locker, take off your leveling kit, and shoe horn 37's under it and you can do it too.

Not gonna lie either, I really wanted to yard sale the 30 haha but it held up like champ. And ya man get your shit dialed so we can wheel. [emoji106]🏻
 
Lmao awesome!! Can't believe it's holding up! Gives me hope since we don't have anything like that here that I've seen yet.
 
I should be getting my axles back any day now so today i spent a little bit of time getting some stuff ready. The main thing was drilling out all of my control arm mounts to 5/8's. I'm gonna be using 5/8" grade 8 bolts on all 8 control arms. Honestly really overkill but its just another thing to set the jeep apart from the rest. Here's a couple teaser pics of the upper control arm mounts I plan on using. Idk yet how much of it I'm gonna use or keep but figured it would be a good thing to start with and modify to fit my needs and expectations. The most appealing part is the 3 adjustment holes for dialing in link separation/anti squat.

With a little trash talking from trevor.... I decided to put the 37s back on the jeep for the EOS run for one last stock axle beat down. (I promise i will be starting the axle swap after this trip and stop messing around) I also took an entire 20 minutes to make some rear bump stops out of some scrap metal. The rear tires used to just barely rub so only made them about 1.5" tall. And i even zip tied my passenger front flare back on! (Most excited about this one) View attachment 219456View attachment 219457View attachment 219458View attachment 219459View attachment 219460

Other than cutting off the coil mounts the front is a complete blank slate.

Haha true. Hopefully i can get it built in a reasonable amount of time. Don't plan on dragging my feet like Scott.
