I'm going to work towards this. Sounds like a good time.

Factory? Aftermarket?

It was a mad blitz getting it done before EJS, and it was down to the wire. Every day after work and 18 hrs days on the weekend for the last month we were wrenching. Got it done around 8:00 the Monday of EJS and headed down with a prayer that nothing catastrophic would happen as it had 2 miles...

You've got a V10? I bought one a year ago. Been super impressed with mine while dragging the Jeep around the state, all while half the price of the oil burning variants.

a buddy of mine has those. I like their current 2nd gen fenders. Nice choice.

Which fenders is brown Santa bringing you?

I just installed my THOR intake a couple weeks ago. It was a lot easier without fenders and tires in the way. Their kit is pretty comprehensive except for the PCV hose that runs from the valve cover to the intake tube. I also used rivnuts instead of the self tappers that it came with. If you...

Another vote for Midnight. Great guys to work with. I've got pieces as small as 1' from them in the past. They've got competitive pricing on heims, bungs, etc to boot.

When I ordered mine, I wasn't aware of local dealers. I ordered mine through Dave's Offroad Supply.

Spent the available time yesterday installing the GR Hilines, and trimming the hood to fit. I still want to work on the reveal a bit more but it is getting close. The initial cut went fast but the tedious part was opening/shutting the hood countless times finding the high spots and slowly...

Thanks. This is the closest I have of the before, it’s with the bumper installed. I’ve gained 1.25” of clearance roughly.

I've had 2. I had the 4.3 for a couple years, but now have the 5.0 2 speed. The 4.3 was fine for most things, but the 5.0 is noticeably better in the technical stuff. The 4.slow rarely stalls, even when standing on the brakes with the 5.0 low range.

I finished my frame chop just over a week ago. Having the shock towers already installed made it super easy to install the frame chop. A fellow wheeling friend helped me with his SolidWorks skills to draw up a mount that will allow me to re-use the gas tank skid with the stock location for the...

No doubt!

Thanks for the suggestions. Come to find out my calipers were inconsistent and changing measurements as much as .010 at times. I ended up having more room to work with than I had originally thought. Side note, I’m needing new calipers. I like the Mitutoyo’s I used at a previous job. Any other...
