The day I bought it


Got some new tires on it


Put an Old Man Emu lift on it with 882s


Did some camping


Satoshi grill


Found a friend at the climbing gym


Swapped to maxxis buckshots


And got stuck in a ditch

 

I like the fender stripes, did you buy those somewhere or paint them on yourself?

 

Thanks man. Had a local vinyl shop cut out some strips then just cut them to fit over the flare

 

Now I just need to find shop to get these thrown in the rear diff

 

Went flareless, still not entirely sure how I feel about it

 

Hell yeah! more 4wd parts

 

That one’s the hardest part to find imo. Right on!

 

I hope so haha, if I can get spindles/hubs/CVs I can go ahead and bolt most of this stuff into the truck

 

Found some gravel roads/4wheeler trails this past weekend. Didnt need the jeep to pull me out for once lol

 

I’ve got a front diff with 4:10’s and an Aussie locker

 

I bought @ThunderOne 's 4.56 aussie locker front diff. If i hadnt already bought parts to regear the rear axle I'd take it haha

 

Finished up the front half of the swap Saturday

 

Like the wheels.

Are those the plastics guy diff cushions?

 

I’m fairly certain it’s the metal sleeve that got pressed out a little from whoever had these mounts before me.

 

Took her on the first big trip, a week in Big Bend. Loads of fun, absolutely incredible park


Only had issues when I lifted a tire, cant wait to be 4wd and locked front lsd rear


Didnt need my jeep buddy to help me up anything either

 

Never showed off the Baja Designs S1s I got, these little things are insane
Stock high beams

High beams with S1 amber wide cornering

 

Got around to swapping out my transmission, now all thats left is figuring out my rear driveshaft situation and regearing the rear axle

 

Picked up what I believe is a factory 4.56 axle today. A little rusty but for $100 cant complain, especially since the diff looks to be in solid shape

 

3 years and 16 days after I bought the truck its finally 4wd, I'm so excited to try it out!!!!

 

Right on dude! Glad to hear she’s rolling on all 4s, can’t wait to see where you take it
