AZ BS Thread 4.2⁰

Thanks Brian! Figured you were still sore from our last fiasco! It took me a solid day to recover after closing it up the next day!

I just tried to do the front facing bumper cam on as well... Nope, bumper has to move for that too. I gotta be at a B'day party by 430 so I'm setting in for some "lockup raw" till then. Maybe a safety refresher to chill.

Thanks anyway, You rock!

Check with Zuk on your locker. He's a first gen guy (sas'd)

 

Behave for a bit with that arm and you will be able to get back to doing stuff again.

 

I'm on 5.13s with 35s in the ferd... gonna step up to 37s tho once these tires wear out

Re-gearing makes a world of difference

 

I think 4.88's are perfect for 35's In my research. That's my plan. I think any tire smaller than that should run 4.56. In my eyes you want to get everything as close to stock ratio as possible. 4.88's seem tall for 33's (on a v6 at least).

At some point I will do the ECGS core swap and get some 4.88's In my truck. Lord knows it needs it.

 

Had some fun at the 4 Wheel Parts Phoenix location showing the Jeeps they're not the only ones that can play on the rocks. Wait for the crunch near the end. Tagged the bottom pinch weld a bit but not too bad.

FYI - this rock garden is now a permanent fixture at their store so go play on it.

Aftermath wasn't bad at all

 

Friday this next week I will be driving the truck and trailer to tucson to see @JeepAndrew... Tucson will be its permanent home from then on.

 

Lol. I was there dropping off and picking up our truck. Too hot to stay and hang

 

Yea... you need the complete? Or?

 

Showing off that trail limo lyfe!

 

Complete would be preferred. If not everything minus the 3rd so I could drop one in and just put it in the truck.

 

Yea I've got one up here in flag. It's the complete without the third (I'm gonna use the third). Axles and everything are good, absolutely no rust, came from Matt at mcm fab off a customers truck... not many miles either. Dm if interested

 

You reacquainted with Letfpalma. She's been lonely and naughty.

 

I'm still on the fence about 4.88's with my tires, since they are technically 34.1" but 4.88's are my only option, the appointment has been set and gears are already REM polished.. No turning back now.

 

Yeah I remember you saying that that's all they offer for the 3rd gens. Idk why that is, I'm sure they will have some at some point.

I imagine that you will be fine though. The only thing that would worry me would be going down the freeway at 75 and being at 3000rpm or something haha.

Have you been able to figure out what your main cruising speed rpms will be with a calculator or something online??

 

8.75 inch rear end, I guess they made it bigger for the TRDOR on the 3rd gen. Nevertheless, I've talked to a few folks who are seeing in the range of 2k rpm at 80, and the ability to stay in 6th gear. I suppose I'll know for certain soon enough

 

Sorry to thread jack guys... but does anyone know of a good off-road shop who can do a quick uniball replacement? In the pheonix-/east valley area?

Preferably without removing the arms.

 

Sierra Expedition?

 

You know who makes and sells stuff like this? A & M motherfucking bolt! hit up @snowtank or me for the anchor bolts and plates!

 

I did a budget build AR-15 a few years back for right at $500 but I want to upgrade a few parts. The upper I have came with an A2 front site but I want to swap it out for a low pro gas block and tube along with upgrading other parts. Anyone have any recommendations on sites or brands that aren't too high in price? I've seen some gas blocks range between $18 all the way to $100. I'm still kind of new to gun mods as far as brands go and what not, but not new to guns.

 

Good shop? Done business with them before?
