well... I stumbled across this forum while looking for info on an overhead console/control panel. Didn't fully realize this was a TJ forum till I snooped around a little. so here is my first post as a member.
little about my rig.
the end goal is to have a nice expedition rig that can take me wherever and get me out of places I probably shouldn't have gone into.
hope to start some good dialogue with you fine folks.
little about my rig.
- 2005 LJ Rubicon
- Motor is toast because previous owner is a twat. so I'm building a 4.6 stroker that might some day go forced induction. (been dreaming of this motor for decades).
- Rough country 6" long arm lift. swapped all the heims for EMF rod ends
- 35" rubber
- 17" rims
- Truss and sleeve the front axle (if I were to go past 35" rubber i'll be doing a for 9" with f450 knuckles... pipe dream)
- Hydraulic assist
- Vanco brake upgrade
- ANONE USE THE ALLOY 30 Spline Unit bearings?
- Anyone try swapping in JK knuckles using offset ball joints?
- axle upgrade probably a nice set of Yukon chromoly (RCV are over kill but once and done would be nice)
- JANA K4 kit (JK R&P in both diffs)
- Eaton locker front and back
- 35 spline out back, 30 up front
- rebuild Warn 8274 (I have a jeep model winch off an old CJ pretty sweet)
- Nates4x4 dual jerry can tire carrier
- dual battery tray (would like to try and fit two 1500 odesey somewhere
- overhead console with Ham, Commercial radio (no one in Canada uses CB really), switches for lights and winch.
- couple light bars, nothing crazy
the end goal is to have a nice expedition rig that can take me wherever and get me out of places I probably shouldn't have gone into.
