Chudlet's First TJ

Catching up a bit. I took some measurement pics before I installed my 4" Rock Jock springs, tummy tuck and 33" tires (from 31s) and now I have spent the summer wheeling and letting the lift flex and settle. Now I have the hard top back on and in the same config as when the first pics were taken and just took the comparison pics if anyone wants to see.

Passenger rear corner 22.75" -> 28.75 = +6"

Sorry should have taken a pic of the stock skid vs the high clearance skid, but the lift and tires added a bit more than 6" clearance to the midpoint of the Jeep

So the lift and tires gave a total lift of about 6" and appears to have leveled out the passenger side lean. Also the rake really hasn't changed from stock.

Last wheeling trip killed the starter, so new starter in and hey if your in there making things better, might as well upgrade all the main wires with a Big 7 upgrade kit. Moved from stock 6 gage to milspec connections and 2 gage wire. Not terribly thrilled with the looped wire there but really couldn't find a better routing.
