Tinyten: Jeep Journal

tinyten · Jul 13, 2017

I purchased my 2010 JK a few months ago and figured I'd do my own "build thread"
2010 Jeep JK Sport
6 speed
1.25" body lift
2" puck spacer lift (yuck)
17" Rubicon wheels wrapped with 255 70 17 A/T's
Hard top
Bestop trek top

The day I picked it up.

I've since put over 5000 miles on it since I have purchased it, other than doing some small work to it I haven't had issues (rear brakes, e brake rebuild, slave cylinder) and have no complaints. I really enjoy the jeep. I have taken it camping a few times and took it on a 800 mile round trip to Bethany beach in deleware.

I have no complaints about the 3.8, and have no issues with oil consumption. I also have switched to 5w30 high mileage, the jeep had 76000 miles on it at time of purchase.

I am currently building a winch mount bumper sort of thing out of the innards of the stock bumper.
Step 1

Nice jeep [emoji106]. Yeah honestly alot of guys put a ton of miles on the 3.8 and had few issues. Mine burned oil but for the most part was still very reliable.

Thanks guys!

I just finished the winch "bumper" I made it out of the stock inner metal and a universal harbor freight winch mounting plate, after alot of cutting and mock up I am very happy with the end result. Now to get rid of those ugly stock hooks and replace with d ring mounts! Oh and hook up the winch[emoji28]

I have found that the Wal-Mart Hyper Tough brand tool box with 4 drawers fits well in behind the back seat! The jeep also tows the boat well, and stops easily!

Installed Moog wheel bearings and Ten factory chromoly front shafts over the weekend. Getting closer to being ready for the larger tires.

All new stiffer OEM springs all around, 17/56 vs the stock 13/54s (with a broken rear spring) also got rid of the rear sway bar. Rides better now due to no broken springs

Thanks guys, I found them on Craigslist and had been trying to make a deal with the Guy, he ended up short on money and said 300 today and they are yours, so I shot right on over! Rear sway bar removed because the bolts snapped and I didn't have time to fix it before I left for the week
