Arizona Rock Crawler

This one is for @JMT because I know he loves the no spare tailgate! I just cant live without a spare so it will reside here for now with a nice tray mounted on top. I ratchet strapped it down to the seat mount bolts for now until I feel like making a permanent mount. I was able to fit everything I need in the back still so I am very happy with the setup for now. This will also let me raise the frame now without the bumper running into the spare.View attachment 243566View attachment 243567
Hell ya! Smart. No more rubbing your ass like a fucktard!

Committed to going to Moab! Wish I had more time to prepare but without having to train for vault now I should have enough time to finish the rig by next weekend.

The only big thing I’m still waiting to do is Dave Ks geometry correction. The brackets will get here later this week so it shouldn’t be a problem to get those on before the trip. I’m excited to try them. For $160 it seems like a pretty high return for the dollar until I feel like pulling the trigger on a full blown midarm. Even then I may just midarm the front if I like the geo correction enough. The main aspect I’m looking to improve with them is the rear hopping on steep climbs.

Other than that I would like to do some small maintenance tasks and if I have time, clean up some aesthetic details that got out on the back burner.

Rear geo and front mid is my strategy. Same goal, improve traction by getting closer to or even below the anti squat line to eliminate hop. A little squat will actually improve rear bite.

Fortunately, I don't have most of the other known traits of higher lifts on the TJ like lifting the tire while cornering, etc.

Hope you get yours all set for Moab!
 
I have to say man, after seeing the fenders in person I really want highline fenders now. It's just for the looks obviously, but I really love the way it turned out!
Right!! They look way better in person than I thought they would with 35's

Thanks Chris! Love to hear it. I’m proud of the work that went in and how they came out!

Oh yeah, they look phenomenal. I realize I'd have nothing to gain from going with them, but they look right at home on a TJ. I thought they'd look silly due to 35s, but I think they actually look just fine with 35s.
 
When do the new fenders arrive :ROFLMAO: - says the guy who did the same thing...

I was very surprised when you and Chris bought regular GR fenders.

If you're going to go to that much trouble, you might as well cut the hood and relocate a few things. The cost up front is basically the same

And looks soooo much better
