A Simple Build

[Chris]

Who do you think you were kidding?

Myself?

Now the question is, can it be done cheaper than my wife’s grille?

Just drop it off with MrBlaine.

Getting my popcorn now.

Let the race to Moab start.

I can't wait to see it progress.

 

[Chris]

I learned my lesson from the last time. This time I’m doing it all at once (outboard and mid-arm install) and making sure it’s done right, no more fuckery.

That’s the goal, have it done by the Moab trip next year.

Hitch mounted racks are great, I went with the Kuat but have heard nothing but good things about the 1ups.

 

[mattcogdell]

Of course this time I’ll make sure it’s done 100% right.

So you’re doing it yourself then right?

 

[Chris]

Negative. I wish I had the time, but with three little kids and everything going on, it will take me months and months to make a dent in it.

I'll likely ask Blaine is he has time to do it (and if he wants to do it). I'm done fucking around. I want my TJ done right this time and that's the only person I trust to do it right.

 

[JDS123]

Ok I’m getting even more popcorn now

Don't forget the butter.

 

[Rick Flair]

Nice. I’m curious to chat about your last TJ Chris.

Alright so what wheel base, tire size and belly height are you going with

 

[Chris]

Nice. I’m curious to chat about your last TJ Chris.

I regret selling my last one, but I had some money I owed to the IRS from 2008 (that I didn't even know about) that I was forced to pay. Unfortunately, selling the TJ was the only way I could come up with to pay off that debt, which I didn't want looming over me.

It's tragic, because I loved that thing, and aside from the fact that the shop fucked up my outboard job, it had a lot of nice stuff going on. There certainly was a lot of money into that thing, and doing it over seems like insanity, but at least this time all that bad stuff is behind me.

Stock wheelbase and 315s or 35s. That's as big as I feel comfortable going on a TJ without stretching the wheelbase. I'll obviously go with the tummy tuck, and @BuildBreakRepeat is selling me a NIB Savvy mid-arm locally.

It’s gonna be awesome!

Good job with the sale!

 

[Chris]

Good job with the sale!

Makes it a lot easier when he's 20 or so miles away from me

Not getting bent over with those shipping costs

 

[Chris]

Not getting bent over with those shipping costs

Shipping something that large (and heavy) isn't cheap, that's for sure.
