Some more poser shots because why not! Also found a small issue with the front coilovers. In the first picture you can see that there is still room in between the tire and the fender, however my coilover on that side is bottomed out. Im going to have to raise up the the tower by about 2" to gain more up travel. Also I need to redo my frame side trackbar mount to lower it down a bit so it is on the same plane as my drag link, once I do that my steering geometry should be perfect.

Its been getting cold lately and since my old top that was 10 years old finally broke, I decided to order a new one from Bestop. I put the doors back on and installed the top and all I can say is im impressed. It is a tight fit and there is almost no sound issues while driving, nice quality top. Also on another note, I stopped by Poison Spyder Customs today to pick up my daddy long leg crusher corners that have the 4" stretch and bigger wheel well opening. They had quite a lot of products ready to be loaded up and shipped. 


So here is my list of essential things that needs to be finished before I can go wheeling:

  • Front coilover tower needs to be raised 3-4" (Not enough shaft showing)
  • Front sway bar axle-side brackets need to be made (Highway driving is scary)
  • Frame side track bar bracket needs to be lowered 1-2" (Slight bumpsteer)
  • Front Locker engager needs to be installed
  • Order 2" wheel spacers to clear my offset tie rod (Tie rod scraping rim on turns)

Some non-essential things that I need to do soon:

  • Install crusher corners
  • Convert my rear tailgate to a swing down
  • 4" Rear LED lights
  • Budget bumpstop cans (Convert to hydro later)
  • Swap out coilover springs (stiff ride atm)
  • Go wheeling
