Thanks for the reply. It was a combination of indecision, funds and lack of knowledge of the TJ platform (having come from The JK side of Jeep’s primarily). I opted to go with a system that works well for 35s for now (few years) while I build up everything else needed for 37s (steering...

By “tuned” do you mean shocks with adjustable valving or simply shock location and compressed/uncompressed lengths being correct? Sorry for a probably dumb question but just trying to clear it up..

Spent the day again cleaning and organizing the shop while I wait for parts to slowly (very slowly due to current world economics and shipping) start trickling in… also today I ordered an engine/ transmission skid and transfer case skid from UCF and a universal crossmember kit from Genright. I’m...

Pulled the trigger on the RockJock (Currie) 4” SA lift kit. Maaaybe In The future with a stretch I’ll rework the suspension but I figured I’d go with something that seems pretty universally loved and tested. Now I need to order parts for a tummy tuck. Should just be a plate at this point with...

I think I’ve decided on either the Barnes 4WD DIY 3/4 link long arm kit or the 4” Currie lift… really really torn here. Much research and collaboration needed I guess before I pull the trigger on one of them.

Yeah. Wish I had some input on the Barnes 4wd lift. It seems like a great setup and easy to install as everything lines up off of the supplied brackets but I want to lean towards the Savvy mid arm, however I’ve heard it can be challenging to install correctly…

Ok. Artec body lift mounts and additional pucks for the other mounts as well as M.O.R.E 1” bomb proof MML is on order. Now I absolutely need to figure out which suspension route I’m going to go very soon so I can order that.

Ok. So I’ll be buying these today then https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.artecindustries.com/tjbodymounts-lift%3famp=1 And these. https://www.artecindustries.com/tjbmspacer Recommendations on the MML? Or other body lift recommendations??

Some other things now that I’ve been thinking about it.. I also have Artec front spring buckets and rear spring correction buckets to weld in once I start this build. I know that once it’s all in I’ll need to measure for driveshafts and cycle and measure for shocks. But that’s a ways off. Any...

Haha thanks! This is from an old meme and cracks me up. Going through photos on my phone and I found it randomly and had to update my profile picture 🤷🏻‍♂️

Welcome! I’m also on Whidbey, up north.

Thanks! Trying to figure out what route currently for the suspension so I can get it ordered and start the actual build haha. Will also hopefully be doing small mods along the way as they come up.

Hello everyone, a little while back I introduced my self on the “back into a TJ” thread. My friends since named my Jeep “Amber” after the Mac & Jacks African amber can colors (see photo) so hence the name for this build thread title. I’m on mobile so I apologize for any formatting issues. And...

I’m probably going to start a new build thread though. Wasn’t planning on using this one as that, but I do want to keep everything organized along the way.
