So, Vengeance decided to play dirty in the fight for the 40s.

I came out this morning to this:

That made me spend the evening doing this:

 

[Colorado4x4]

Hell yea. I’ve been following this rig for a while! Those old links won’t open for me. Do you have specs on wheelbase and height to frame rail? Love it and looks like it did awesome in Moab!

 

[Bullwinckle]

Haha looks like Vengeance made the choice for you. He's gonna look badass with 40's!

 

[wjtstudios]

Vengeance will be at whole new level!
should help the break over clearance a bit

 

[Andy5160]

That made me spend the evening doing this:

How is your back ? Looks Great !

 

[Bear_JT]

I guess that helped make the decision a little easier. 40’s are gonna be sweet on him!

 

[Torrin]

Lol, you are sure hard on a Jeep Jerry. Vengeance originally had 40's on it and was moved to 37's for the auction. I had thought about putting 40's on it, but I was not wheeling it enough to make it worth the effort.

Damn, never though Vengeance could be any more badass. Gonna look killer!

Now you have to peel off the nitto decal?

 

[Brute]

A few inches one way or the other, and it gets much harder

there's a joke here somewhere...

 

[jdofmemi]

Hell yea. I’ve been following this rig for a while! Those old links won’t open for me. Do you have specs on wheelbase and height to frame rail? Love it and looks like it did awesome in Moab!

The wheelbase is about 112. 3" front stretch, 12" rear.
Not sure on frame height, but LOW!
It will be better on 40s, and better yet when I revise the rear lower control arm mounts.

I do try to get the most out of anything I drive or operate.

It is a great Jeep and has been a ton of fun already. I feel privileged to have it.

Thanks for posting the specs, since the links I put in post one apparently don't work anymore

Now you have to peel off the nitto decal?

No, still have Nittos on order, and to respect the build, I will ha e to swap them when I get the Nittos in. Ugh.
That will be a shit ton of work, but also the right thing to do to respect the build of Vengeance.

[jdofmemi]

Well, with the doors off, the logo is 90% gone anyway, and the rear one is on the soft top window, so it is gone. A small one on the hood is still there.

Plan is to get half doors, and have them wrapped to match the full doors, logo and all.

You were the last one to buy this jeep. It's your build now. Make your own. You don't have to replicate the original. HC would have wanted you to take it your own direction.

Thanks for the support

It will change slowly, though I will still respect the original character, while making changes and upgrades as I go.

While not obligated to, I intend to support the vendors who originally supported the build and the reasons behind it.

I just ordered harnesses, and got them from Sparco, since they provided the seats.

I may upgrade the winch some day, as the Warn Evo has the same issue as the one on my White Jeep had, when hot, the solenoids quit working until they cool.

Other things will get updated and modified as time goes on, but for now only small things, as the big changes will be to the White Jeep, while I wheel this one

 

[jdofmemi]

Well, 4 out of 5 mounted. Time for a test drive
