    Too much free time and too many people inquiring about my WJ led me to do this. It's getting to be a more capable WJ, and can mall crawl with those Lexus Jeeps like no other.

    First, here's the up to date setup:

    Round Tube Sliders

    Recovery/Armor

    Warn: XD9000, rear receiver shackle
    Master Pull: 5/16" x 100' Synthetic Winch Line w/ HD rock sling & hook & aluminum fairlead

    Jeep Options
    4.7L V8 H.O., 3.73 gears, D44/D30.
    Upcountry Suspension Group
    Skid Plate Group

    Cobra: 75 WX ST CB
    Fire Stik II: 5' antenna

    Yukon Gear & Axle: 4.56's front and rear

    My Jeep never sees much trail time because it's always here:



    Boring trail:









    All Clean:




    More to come. Sorry no pics of the locker/gear install. More to come once I have more free time and when the weather is warmer.

    No, Now you've seen everything -



    Nothing like 39.5"s on 20"s. This one is ridiculous, but it does get wheeled (lightly) occassionally. (friend of a friend)

    Sorry for the hijack.

    I agree with ya'll - it is STUPID. I know he has "wheeled" it in about 4' of snow, of course he overheated his tranny.

    Surf092: When you did the 4:56 gears did you have to replace the front carrier? Also did you have to replace the rear carrier when you did the gears and the Aussie? How is everything performing? I want to do at the least the gears in mine. Randy's R&p Say I don't have to replace the carriers but, drivertrain direct and a couple of other companies say I have to replace the front d30 carrier? What did you do?
    Thanks

    I will try to get some decent driveway shots up this weekend. I have some more loose ends to tie up on the WJ before it's going to get wheeled again. Hopefully I will have more free time to take it out on the trails this year.

    And a minor project to test out this weekend:
