    Colorado Krew Hangout

    I’m in, where and when? I’ll gladly procrastinate an axle swap and mid arm install to get another wheeling trip in.

    Colorado Krew Hangout

    Going back to the balancing beads thing, I got my 37’s mounted on the Walker Evans beadlocks. 2 of them I got to spin balance with less than 3oz of weight per side but the other 2 were calling for 6oz +. No way to fit that and I didn’t feel like breaking down 48 beadlock bolts to rotate so I...

    The Saga Continues…

    Tough crowd… If you find yourself cruising through the whoops @NJW throw some more nitrogen in the upper chambers and let those 16”ers eat! You’re plenty wide enough to raise the ride height. Enjoy the new rig, I’m sure you’ll have fun with it!

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    What temp is it getting to? Do you have any sort of OBD tool to see the exact reading? May be a faulty sensor as there is literally nothing other than the thermostat that can cause that, short of being in the artic.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Beadlocks and 37’s mounted. This’ll be the new ride height for the most part. Now for the easy part. New axles and mid-arm.

    Rampage Frameless Top

    I have one on my LJ. The windows are a serious pain in the ass to get in, but once together it’s not bad. I run just the top without the windows 90% of the time. If you plan on taking the windows on and off a lot I think you’ll be frustrated with it. If you leave it in the same configuration...

    New Tool Day

    Yeah, I'm kind of out in the boonies. I have a Carquest franchised "hardware" store about 15 minutes from me, an Ace a little over that, but Fastenal and Big Box stores are a solid 30 minutes. Its a serious inconvenience to be mid project and have to run to town for a bolt and waste an hour or...

    New Tool Day

    Just picked up a grade 8 hardware assortment from these guys. $120 seems like a pretty good deal for that assortment considering my local hardware store is usually close to a dollar a bolt for this size range and grade 8 nylocs are usually fairly hard to find...

    Is an engine swap inevitable?

    Not really, they all have plenty of support. The main differences are the generations. Gen 3 is 97 to 06/early 07, Gen 4 is late 05 to 20 I believe and Gen 5 2013 to present. Gen 3 and 4 are generally pretty easy to swap and everyone and their brother makes a stand alone harness for them...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I agree. I commute in mine all the time and to get anywhere from my house you’re spending time at 70mph plus. Every part of my build I’ve kept drivability in mind. The only exception might be the beadlocks and Baja Bosses I’m about to install but currently I can set my cruise at 85 with one...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    She did question me this week when I had very large and heavy Revolution G&A boxes show up on 3 separate days. 😬

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Thankfully my wife and I operate financially separate for the most part and I speak in broad generalizations for some things. :ROFLMAO:

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    They’re quadruple the price and bring along other issues such as a brace between towers. My motor sits fairly high with the truck intake, and, while possible, would be a packaging nightmare and I’m not sure there is much of an advantage, not even factoring in the cost.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Thank you sir! This is my midlife crisis for sure, Lol. Trying to make this my bucket list rig. Last winter was the LS swap and highlines. This winter is JK axles, mid-arm and going to 37’s. Last step will be out boarding with tuned Fox’s, that may be part of this step, just need to see how...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Today I installed some Currie 4” springs to let them settle to ride height so I can get some good measurements for when I start my axle swap in a couple weeks. Also got my beadlocks back from the powder coater. They’ll look good wrapped in Baja Bosses. :love:

    You move quick! Was just going to let you know I got my spares out and could send one to you on Monday, but looks like you’re covered!

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I found them. I repurposed them as bumpstop extensions for my rear springs. I’m swapping springs and bump stops either this weekend or next, so if you can wait a week or two I’ll have one for you.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I’m pretty sure I have a pair of extra Savvy pucks from when I did the butt crack delete mod. I can check if you’re still in need.
