Project "Big Red Jeep"

[TheOtherSide]

Those look pretty beef.... nice!

[ajmorell]

Ruh-Roh, look out for Jim ladies and gentlemen

[fpkites]

How's that for LCA length? I can barely fit a finger between the front of the fender and the tire

[ArloGuthroJeep]

I can help you trim your right rear fender...I haven't done the left yet so I am no help there

[fpkites]

I don't care who you are, dat's funnay

[AgitatedPancake]

LOL Ryan you really need to get around to that...Hell even I got my rear left done like a week or two ago! (The right's been done for months haha)

[ArloGuthroJeep]

House is under contract...the sooner it sells the sooner I have a ton more cash per month to invest in my Jeep. Gotta keep the Jeep looking purdy, meaning it gets a paint job after the trim

[fpkites]

Flame on....the rear of Big Red is now at 5" of lift, keeping the front at 4". I've got the Tera 3-3.5" coils front and rear, and I pulled the 1.25" Tera pucks from the back to replace them with my "whatever brand" (maybe KOR, maybe something else...dunno) 2.125" pucks, essentially raising it up to 5". I found that having my tools and trail kit back there dropped the rear more than I liked.

I'm still trying to stay as low as I can to clear the tires though, low COG FTW.

I guess I'll see if it's too raked when I have the cargo area empty, but I highly doubt it.

I also got a Claytons gift certificate at GSW, so should be on LAs before April of next year, depending on job situation...woot! I showed the wifey the GC, then dropped the bomb of what it'd cost, and she didn't go totally postal, so I consider that a win

[ZJones]

Nice! If anyone deserves Clayton's you do. I don't know if I like the raked idea though.

[fpkites]

I wasn't sure if I'd like the raked idea either. We'll see what it looks like when I'm not loaded down though. My tools and trail kit have been there since well before I went to GSW...that's easily 200 lbs or more of shit just riding there, plus a full tank of gas.

Luckily it's only an inch...not like I'm going coils only in the front and 2" spacers in the rear. Just leveling it out when gear is back there...that'd look goofy IMO.

She's a keeper. Mainly because she has the ability to put up with your goofy ass. (But also b/c she supports your jeep addiction).

[fpkites]

It helped that I made her my official Fins and Things driver, I think

Also helped when Putz had to pull my ass out of a crappy spot on Cliffhanger last year and she asked Dave why nobody else was having problems there...why do you think I'm on 33s?

[UTChavok]

She's a keeper. Mainly because she has the ability to put up with your goofy ass. (But also b/c she supports your jeep addiction).

Thats the problem Ive found, Im in no way looking for a serious relationship but almost all the girls here are like why do you spend so much time and money on a car?

Jim your rig will be pretty kickass with some LAs.

[fpkites]

Wow...over 6 months since I've even looked at this.

Tow rig!!!



2001 F-250 Crew Cab
Intake and Exhaust are already done

[paulkeith]

DP tuner chip all the way. nice truck, love the color! i want a crew cab so bad.

[BigDaveZJ]

Is that the one from Formby you sent me the link to? If the intake is K&N, ditch it asap. The K&N filters let a bit too much through and that's not good for your turbo.

[fpkites]

Gauges first - tuner will probably be a while.

Nope, AFE

[wannabe_offroad]

Nice dude!! Congrats!! I'm now extremely jealous. When are the long arms going on now? No excuses anymore....you now have a DD

[fpkites]

I intend to have my Claytons before my coupon expires. I kind of doubt I'll have them on for GSW though. Too much other stuff to do.

[BigDaveZJ]

Wimp. Clayton shipped my stuff out like 3 weeks before GSW and I still had to drive my rig out there and I got it all done.

[fpkites]

We'll see what the tax man bringeth

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Dude you got a tow rig? Awesome!

[fpkites]

Holy crap...pulled an Oasis report at the Ford dealership down the road.


My rig got a new transmission in 2008! Score!

[tweak177]

nice ZJ man. going to be putting the lift on mine soon, what backspacing were you running when you had the 32's on it?
