What was done to your rig this week?

In the middle of swapping the MT/rs for the Toyos...With my primitive tools.

That's a good upgrade.

I was happy to be rid of my MTRs, and used pretty much the same method to do it.
It is somewhat of a PITA, but worth it. 👍

Finally done! Took a lot longer than normal probably but its all good!And i agree about the MT/Rs.The traction and "performance" is good but the sidewalls are weak and i think are hard to balance and contributed/caused my death wobble.
 
Finally installed my EVO Bolt-on Coilovers. Long 4 days. Long story but thanks Jerry and Allen for the conformation. Loving the ride already.
Still need to get ride height dialed in. EVO instructions state for the rear start with the spanner nut all the way up. (the front says about 1 1/4 down)
I would like to keep it as low as I can. But with the spanner nut all the way up I only have about an inch until I'm into the bump stops. I think the bump stop extensions that come with the kit are 4". Can I use less than that if I have room for it.
Any advice or pointers on how to set this all up would be welcome. I also still need to install break lines. Kinda hesitant on that. I'd take some pointers on that too.
I also install 2' King bumps in the front and on my shake down run it looks like they got compressed and didn't pop back out all the way?? I ran them up with a crowbar and they don't push back out or not all the way. Do I need to gauge them and fill them to a specific psi? With what?
Also got the Rotopax installed.

Looks great! For the rear bump, order a set of synergy adjustable bump stop pucks. Or go old school and get some hockey pucks. You can dial the right height in from there. I did not use those 4” extensions on mine.

brake lines aren’t too bad. I’d do then one at a time and bleed them out as I go around.

something’s not right with the front bumps. I wonder if the pressure’s not right so it can’t push all the way back out. You need a shock style air gauge so you don’t lose pressure when you check it.

I had the same problem with mine, they came uncharged. They need to be charged with nitrogen, 125 PSI IIRC. Any decent off road shop should be able to charge them for you, the shop I went to in Reno charged $25 each to do it.

Nitrogen shocks and coilovers use special tools to check and fill them. Polyperformance.com has a good selection of shock tools but they are not cheap, unless you plan to service your own coilovers it is probably not worth the expense.

Nice Jeep. Great color. Needs half doors.

Looking good!

Glad I was able to get you some info to help out.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you and hitting a trail or two.
