Picked up a used factory hard top for winter. TR beadlocks (15x9/3.5”BS) and a set of king shocks. Working on a custom belly skid now.

Found this rear brake flip kit on the black magic brakes website. Great upgrade for the money. Makes the e brake work much better. With the atlas providing for option to do front digs I couldn’t get the e brake to hold the rear tires and had to use a lot of brake pedal to get an effective front...

Anyone who loves to wheel should have rubicon on their bucket list for sure. It’s such a cool trail with great views and fun obstacles. That trail for a lightly or moderately modified rig is a feat of endurance to get all the through without any problems or damage.

Jeep did really well at rubicon although we only made it to buck island and had to turn around because there was so many breakdowns with other jeeps in our crew. When you try to tackle rubicon with 12 jeeps it’s inevitable there will be breakdowns and problems. This was my second trip to rubicon...

I think eventually yes the aluminum will be painted. Rear corners will be impact orange for sure, front bumper black, not sure yet what to do with the front and rear fenders, maybe grey like the sliders or black I don’t know yet. That will be the last thing I do though.... gotta get the belly...

No bad manners. It makes the steering wheel feel a little stiffer but not in a bad way. With 3.75” BS wheels, stock width axles and 35s I need a bit more steering stop on the knuckles. The Hydro cylinder/steering box has more travel than the knuckle steering stops allow so when the stops hit if...

Long day....Started at 5am this morning and finished at 5pm to complete the Atlas 5:1 swap .....driveshafts should be here early next week. Got it clocked as flat as I could I think it’s 13 degrees looks pretty close to what the 231 was. It hangs down just shy of 2” below the frame so gotta...

Without a hardtop and a heavy rear bumper tire carrier the rear of the Jeep is light so the 3” springs give it plenty of lift for the 35s. The front of Jeep is just as heavy as any other TJ so it will sag more with 3” springs up front than the rear will with 3” springs was my thought process...

Thanks, so far with exception of a couple things there has been no cutting or welding required, just all bolt on for the most part. Here’s a picture with the new 3” rear savvy springs and 4” 2dr JK front springs. All that’s left is too get the atlas and belly up skid installed. Headed to rubicon...

Got the front upgraded with some black magic big brakes, hydro assist kit and RCV axles..... just gotta bleed everything then get the wheels back on to test this out.

Rear 44 axles upgraded with some chromolys.

It’s fine for street and highway if you have the 6sp transmission. For me the 35s match the 4.56s better than the 33s did for street/highway use. I ran the rubicon trail with my 33s/4.56 gears and stock NP231 T case and in that senario I wished I had lower gears for some of the more difficult...

I just came across a Craigslist ad asking to trade for 33s and they were both in brand new condition basically. Not that I needed them my 33s were plenty capable for what I do it just provided an excuse to pull the trigger on more mods that I had been wanting to do for fun. Plus I had room in my...

Traded the 33 Patagonia’s for some 35 dick cepek extreme terrains.... had to install the rest of the spacers from the currie bump stop kit to run these 35s and now the uptravel is limited quite a bit with only having the 2” terra flex springs. going to be installing some 3” rear savvy rock jock...

Did the interior led swap.... thanks to the forum thread for the info! Really like this.

And put on a new cat back that turns down in front of the rear axle.

All that’s left now is the tummy tuck and atlas transfer case. With the 4:56 gears and the low first gear of the nsg 6 speed the stock np231 feels pretty good. But I’m sure an atlas in the 4/5:1 range would just be awesome. I’m leaning towards 5:1 being it’s a manual tranny. The crawl ratio...

Headlight and fog light upgrade. KC gravity’s. So much better.

Josh at TPE designed and made the bracket for me. Also installed some Savvy tail lights to complete the rear of the Jeep. Used some license plate bolt led lights to illuminate the plate for a clean appearance.
