I dig it! What did you use to paint the axles and everything?
Looks like you've got plenty of ground clearance there with those 37s!

The axles are POR15 then I actually just used a high heat paint from autozone that I found cause it was cheap and glossy and then I used a second layer of just gloss spray paint to help the paint from fading.I dig it! What did you use to paint the axles and everything?

Ya man I’m 21 and have been working on this thing since I was 16. Just save up slowly and take your time. It’s a marathon not a sprint for sureLove this build, something maybe I can do one day with my cherry red TJ. Axles are just a bitch though Especially being 19 and working at a grocery store currently

Photos of the new axles under her. Still need to bleed brakes again, connect front driveshaft, install new custom front trackbar, replace front tie rod, have the sway bar mounts welded on the 8.8, install the breathers, get the emergency brake adapters for the rear and finally I need to adjust the rear tire carrier to support the 37....BUT it can move on it’s own and it looks sexy so I’m happy. I really need to wax her tho.
This winter I’ll get around to getting a SYE in there at least and I have a few other ideas swirling around in my head.
I just want to be able to drive it again after two months!
Are those rear shocks mounted can up? If so, you literally have no up travel and need new shocks.
I would go with the bigger splined Dana 30 stuff. Especially since you adding a traction device.Update:
Been a long time.
Resolved the drive line vibe and loose brakes on the jeep.
I just need to replace the catalytic converter and muffler that has rusted out on me so it passes emissions.
I finally found a good small off road club near me so im excited and need to get this thing ready for summer.
I don't have a lot of cash to spend getting it ready but it needs a little more work on it so I'm confident in not breaking anything on those moderate trails.
For the near future Im thinking:
- Dana 30 27 spline lunch box locker (not sure which yet) 500ish bucks
- Rear corner guards (comp. cutting the wheel well by a few inches (not sure brand yet) 300ish bucks
-Moving the spare tire onto the box in the back to shorten the profile of the jeep.
-limb risers to protect front windshield 90 bucks
Any thoughts on lunchbox locker brand and/or corner guards that can be cut a bit then please let me know!
Am I missing any thing else?
