A Simple Build

[Chris]

Chris if you need any spare Nth Degree parts I have a few.....

In this picture I have the Nth Degree longarm system installed. View attachment 156929

PM me what you got. If it's in decent shape, I'll keep it for spares

You can't even tell you have any links under there at all in that photo

That's nice! What are AS and IC numbers like with it?

That's a good question. I wonder where I could find this info?

New 4.0 with 50k miles right?

Correct. I asked him why he put a new one in and he said, "It started making a weird noise from the distributor area, and rather than risk it, I just figured I'd put in a new engine because I wanted to be safe.".

Oh well... doesn't hurt to have a low mileage engine!

Those mud flaps have to go pronto lol.

Yep, I agree!

BTW, just giving you a little shit about the LAs. Everytime someone whispers long arms on a TJ a photo of Jerry's TJ hung up on rocks magically appears lol.

REQUIRED in WA and you'll get a ticket if you don't have them.

That was one of the reasons I IDIDN'T go with Rubicon Express when I was building my TJ 15 years ago. I didn't like the arms.
The ONLY reason I am taking the Nth Degree off now is because I wanted to stretch my WB and the universal brackets for HP 60's I don't think worked right.

I was thinking about that. Maybe I'll just keep the mounts for them but take the mud flaps off when I don't need them. Some sort of a quick release system.

Haha, I know what you mean.

In all fairness though, something like this definitely would get hung up:

Look at that compared to what I posted above

Yes I am going to some quick release ones once my TJ is drivable again.

I like it. Build it how you want. There is more than one recipe for success.

I agree completely. And this time around I want something I can have fun with and not be as much of a "build" as the last one.

Looking at the pictures I think he might already have the mud flaps on a quick disconnect system because they aren't in all the pictures.

I'll ask him, you may be right

“GenRight highline fenders is $1800 for front and rear“

That would be replacing fenders, flares and corner armor with aluminum right. I’ve been looking at Nemesis as I like the look and they come in little cheaper. Plus right now if you put in discount code ‘jeepgirl’ it knocks off like 15%.

Seems I see an overall diet planned? Maybe rear bumper/tire carrier and those sliders too?

Correct, though this already has the GenRight corner armor, so I'm not including that since I'll already have it.

So that price was actually just for the GenRight highline front fenders, stretch rear fender flares, and front inner fenders for the highline conversion.

Nth Degree 6" lift with 5" rear stretch (3-link front and 4-link rear)

It's a radius arm front and sort of a 3 link rear but you still have a trackbar in the rear.

Technically the track bar counts as a link, so that's the only reason I say 4-link. I know what you mean though.

The front is 3-link though, no?

Radius arm's in the front with a trackbar of course.

Look at the right side of the picture. You can see the radius arms.

Fire first, aim later

I actually already have the TJ lined up

Yeah! Dude I can’t wait to see what you get!!

Stupid me... I thought those were the rear arms

You're right. I haven't had a chance to get under one of these.

Go look at the first post

Rear stinger is your upper arms. Yours will be different. This was the universal kit for HP60's.
I'm sort of a Nth informed buyer.

I didn't know they made a kit for 60s.

If you could have gotten that, you could have kept your Nth and put Dana 60s on, yes?

What a shame all this stuff disappeared.
