That's pure eye candy right there! How does it ride?

Only drove it home which is a few miles so I need more time with it but drove nice and straight and vibe free at 60. The STT are definitely louder than my 31 inch MTRs. I got the HD springs so it's a firm ride but I like it.

Wow, everything looks so clean under your front end. I hope your wheeling trip fixes that issue. Seriously though, It looks good.

looks great. is the lettering really blue on those coopers or is that just lighting

That's how they ship to keep white clean. I need to hose it down good.

Outlined white letters or raised white letters are shipped with a blue coating over the top of them. A little bit of soap and water and the blue comes right off.

Man, that looks so good! Really, really dig the Ex Terrain wheels too! 33's, right? The Coopers are a nice tire.

Thank you. Yeah 33x12.5. I can probably stuff 35s in there down the road.

Thanks! And your pictures just sold me on those flat fenders too. Id like to get something that isnt imported, but there's so much other stuff I still need to put into my TJ, so I need to prioritize costs. XT fenders....can't beat the $

Exactly. Those flat fenders cost $299 to the door. I spent more money on the MetalCloak rockers because they are actually functional.

Once you add on extra weight (if you do), you'll be happy you have them!

I have those tires (35x12.5x15) and I love em! I also have those shocks. Give em a good 1000 miles b4 they soften up. I've done about that and 3 wheeling trips, and they are just now starting to ride very nice.

 

[FTI76]

Thanks guys I am very pleased with how it came out.

I forgot to mention I also had the inside of the frame cleaned out and sprayed with Eastman Internal Frame Coating. I already have extra drain holes added. Not having to stress about my TJ frame living in the North East is a big relief.

 

[JP98]

I love it man. You have done an awesome job of thinking through your build plan and making it happen. Man it looks nice.

 

[fourpointzero]

Can't go wrong using the wand that came w the Eastwood to coat the inside w Fluid Film, over the coating. A little messy but works so well. Paint can only protect your metals so much before salts and condensation penetrate it. I luv that FF stuff.

It's not the heavy-duty springs that give a "firm" ride, it's the Nitro shocks you chose. Possibly made even firmer by the tires very likely having been overinflated. Are those 35's? What pressure is in them?
