[Bradman]

Nice Dan!!

[brooksy]

I'm sorry Dan, I'm more than happy to help. I just spend so much time sorting through BigD's posts that I can't get to all the "meaningful" threads...


 

You need anything electrical and I don't respond to a post just PM me and tell me to get off my a$$

I'm sorry Dan, I'm more than happy to help. I just spend so much time sorting through BigD's posts that I can't get to all the "meaningful" threads...

I am bringing my laptop to the BBQ so I can find every thread you have ever posted and quote them with some stupid comment in reply.  I hope you spend countless hours skimming through my pointless posts and they annoy you till the cows come home.

Dan regardless of what Dorksy thinks of my addiction....and sticking to the thread topic...

I am curious why did you leave the ends of the tie rod black and not paint the whole thing?
Is it because you are going to get it aligned first or just like it that way?

[CopperTop]

Looks much better, did you clear coat them?

[98xj]

Hey brooksy, yea, next time I'll just send you a PM when I have an electrical issue.

Hey BigD, I might shoot them after I get an alignment. I'm sure it wouldn't matter but just figured it would be easier to move them around if they weren't gummed with paint.

I didn't clear coat the flares. The paint is not automotive paint but Krylon Fusion paint that supposedly adheres to plastic better. Without the gloss finish it'll make it easier to touch up when if...I mean when...I put them against a tree.

So 1 year ago I showed up to the BBQ with 31s and pretty much nothing else...one year later I show up with 5.5"s of lift, 35's, and locked/locked.  What a difference a year makes.

I ended up going from 33 TSLs (which xbobj now owns) to 35 interco trxus mts. I wasn't dissapointed with their performance, they handled the 2hr drive there awesome and the muddy/soupy/bouldery boneyard very well. With the selectable locker I just hope I don't forget to turn it on. I also got 4.88 gears and a rear arb airlocker done at baystate off road (thanks Bob and Liza)

your jeep is looking good, I remember your flat 31 at the BBQ last year, indeed what a difference in 1 year.

[X-BoB-J]

very nice jeep, dan. love the arb i might have to go with one. and thanks for the tires, they ride great.

[Bradman]

I remember well.  Had a great cockpit view of your flat 31.....incredible changes!!!
I Think you and I are neck and neck with changes as I went from 33's open open to alloy rears locked and locked in front  running 36's. You did the lift I swapped the tranny.

This club presure is intense.  I wonder where we will be in a year from now!!!
You'll be on one tons...I'll probably have quit and sold my heap cuz my weak azz cage didn't hold up on my flob at maybell!!

But I'm serious... I forgot on the first obstacle I encountered... Someone asked if I was locked in the rear. Doh.
