'06 Impact Orange LJR Build

[Chris]

Placed my order from Tom Woods for a new rear driveshaft. My Rubicon LJ with the Savvy TT, Brown Dog MML and the Savvy/Currie 4" lift measured out at 27". Wish i would have thought to get a before measurement on it. I was surprised how they come across as a pretty small operation considering how long they have been supporting the 4wd crowd and how popular they are. Will get some shots of it when it comes in.

They are great to deal with and very friendly. Not to mention they had my custom driveshaft shipped out the same day I ordered it!

Got the exhaust installed.

Shop did a pretty good job. It's all stainless. My only concern is if the axle will clear at full stuff. I need to cycle it and check. The sound is great, just a slight burble and a little louder overall on the throttle. I'll see if I can get a sound clip and post it.

Got some Synergy grab handles installed as well. These things are great and should have been standard!

You have the coolest Jeep ever! I thought about those grabars, but at $89 I passed. Nice though

Thanks!
I looked at some other options out there and didn't want to spend $30-40 on some floppy nylon and velcro jobs. These were more money but they are solid and will hold up for the long haul. I may look at adding some of the other kind for the rear seat tho.

Yesterday I got this in the mail. I surprisingly have very little vibration even with the TT and 4" of lift, but need to get my pinion rotated up so the rear track bar and bracket aren't binding. That and the CV will certainly help with the u-joint angles.

Kudos to Davey's Jeeps for having the stuff to get my soft top installed finally along with some other misc items I needed and shipping it out so fast.

Looks like you unfortunately got a crack in your windshield. I swore if I ever got one I'd replace with this...

I had my daughters make these. They enjoyed doing it and I enjoy them! I attached them in the forward position like yours using the torx bolt, that way they don't hang and brush your head when you get in/out.

I still like yours best though!

This is an awesome build. Im basically duplicating it with an 04 rubicon 5 speed. I need the savvy engine skid, transfer case skid and crossmember still. Just bought the cable shift kit. I also loved the impact orange and bought an 05 Rubicon 6 speed in that color. It's still basically stock however. It's my show Jeep
