Chase8059 SWDCSB Build

Thanks man!

We also just booked a fishing trip for this fall. 4 days on Cape Lookout in NC. 56 miles of open beach only accessible by ferry and cutoff. Pack in and pack out kind of situation.

 

A little bit of stuff while detailing a car today

 

Time to sort out some mounting options and wiring for the new mods

 

Chase couple questions for you....first, how do you like the JBA UCA's, have they been holding up with the salt? (You get sea salt, I get massive amounts of road salt...) Second, did you go with the stock replacements? Judging by your lift setup it seems you sit around 1.5-2" (maybe?) and from what I've read you can still use the stock replacements if you're under 2.5"...I'm sitting around 1.5" with the fox setup

 

I like the JBAs alot, but the balljoints did get surface rust very quickly. Apparently they are now shipping they UCAs with a ball joint that's been coated in something that should prevent it from happening. Mine are just cosemtic, they still function fine. I'll probably replace them within the next year just to get the new ones from JBA.

I'm actually sitting on 887 coils up front with are good for 3inches. I never measured the actual height I gained, but I did go with the High Caster UCAs and had no problems getting an alighnment.

 

Ok good to know...I reached out to Marlin at JBA to see if it was really my choice between the stock replacement and High Caster since I still am running the stock UCAs with no clearance issues only having to ~1.5-2" up front. Just trying to get some ideas because for the price it seems they can't be beat...the BS thread on them has almost nothing but good things to say about em

 

Installed my Rigid Chase bar. The ziptues are temporary as I'm touching up my bars before putting the tent back on. I out some good scratches in when I first mounted it as the paint wasn't quite dry all the way.

Running light

Brake light

Reverse light

Running and courtesy which is tied to my bed light strips.

 

And my sweet 6 pin quick connector

 

Bars are freshly painted and mounted, and I also threw my WaterPort on to start playing with where I want it. I think the RTT will inhibit the ability to remove it completely so as long as I can fill it, where it is, I should be good.

 

A local jeep club has converted an old golf course into a "Jeep Golf Offroad Course" where the vehicles are used as your "cart". It's basically an 80 acre offroad park with golf holes you can play. It's the first one in the world, and we were the first tacos to go on it!

@Comatose even did a good 3 wheel action. We just need to figure out how to make a GIF of it

 

I know I'm a little late to the game but if y'all ever hit that golf course again I'd love to tag along! Where is it?

 

Unfortunately we haven't been back. The county threw a fit over envirnomental concerns and they've been closed since. They are still working to get everything squared away so we are hoping they will be open soon.

 

Damn, thats unfortunate. It'd be good to have something like that in the area. Hopefully it gets worked out soon

 

It's just outside of Berlin off of 50 heading towards Salisbury from OC. I forget the name of the old golf course.

 

WHATTTT. Dude thats so cool and so close. Man i want them to get that sorted haha

 

Good meeting you the other day ... found it funny how similar our trucks are from the suspension, bed bars, LED lights, Mobtown recovery bar, etc. If you need help with your western travel plans, I'd be happy to help ... grew up in the West and spent considerable time in the areas you mentioned.

 

Good chatting! Always nice to find a fellow taco in the food lion parking lot. It’s where I spotted @Comatose the first time

 

Deer Run

Thanks for the invite to your meet, dick.

 

@Comatose and I spent yesterday doing some
