Offline What WMS did you go with on the front and rear axle? Are you staying with springs in the front or going coil overs?

got all 4 tires mounted yesterday. these things are freeking huge
going to head to WFO this afternoon for a mock up....bringing the air cutoff wheel :hack:
3:09 pm
After much debating I decided to stick with full width in the front 69” and rear 67”. If it doesn’t rub my lowers I might shave the front 2” down the line but I will have to wait to see. I still want to do coilovers in the front however don’t have the funds quite yes so I’m sticking with springs on all 4 corners for now.
Next mod will be to cut out the rear cross member and move the gas tank back another 3”. Much cheaper than buying a new gas tank in order to stretch the rear.

Out of curiosity, why a 14 bolt vs. a Sterling 10.25/10.5?

14 bolt was way cheep. 150 for the axle assembly and couple more $$$ to replace some on the bearings etc..

Offline What brand of front tube fenders are those? what size springs are you going with? 3, 4, 5 inch ? Looks very good!!! Trevor and his crew do very good work and they are always very helpful to answer questions even if you want to do the work yourself. Did you have the 14 bolt shaved?
Are you going to join us at the hammers if we go?

The front fenders are the Metal Cloke High lines. From some preliminary fitting it looks like the tires will not rub in the front. Right now I’m running a 6" spring, however I will try and lower it when I get it back to keep the CG as low as possible while allowing some up travel... Shooting for 5" of up travel but we'll see.
i did have the 14 bolt shaved but did not cut into the shell, just the bottom 1.5" of metal came off.
As for the Hammers....Hell yea... it’s either that or Moab pending on if you guys go this year or not....

Been sitting all week but i have all weekend to wrench on her.
Just got the new mini ARB pump…. so I should have the lockers working this weekend.
Some fender trimming and master cylinder swap on Sunday hopefully
I’ll take some pics this weekend for everyone.
Next big purchase is going to have to be a welder.

Offline Looks good, but I would carry a couple extra trac bars. I personally don't think the one you are running will last. Big tires and hard wheeling will eat track bars for lunch. Trac bars with bends in them tend to bend really easy. Most of us who wheel hard had to go to straight pan hard bars. I haven't bent or broke one yet!!!!

Heed the warning ! Even my baby jeep bends the heavy wall track bars with 35's. Carry and or upgrade the joints and bushings.

We will just have to wait and see on the track bar. Haven’t had good luck with them in the past and I didn’t want to have to bend the new one but it was hitting the diff cover so in went the bends. We could start a poll on how long it will last. I’m guessing it will be bent after the first....
Update: got a MIni ARB and proceeded to crack the housing inserting the pressure shut off valve 3 threads into the housing. Trevor at WFO laughed at me but he did warranty it. Got everything else wired in and switches mounted. Going to put the compressor in tonight and see if the lockers work.
Will take some more pictures but probably won’t have them up before Thursday.
Next is to fab some mud flap disconnects so I don’t get a ticket.
