LJR long term "rebuild"

I believe in wheeling like a pirate, "No Quarters". Hey, that would be a good name for a ....... (stops myself from talking anymore).

You keep wheeling the way you do and that TJ is gonna have “no quarters” 😂

The quarter panels on his Jeep look like waded tinfoil.
 
You thought my rear corner was crunched before. Today I was pulling out of work and my rear wheel came off and the jeep fell down onto the wheel crunching the corner real good and ripping out the fuel fill! My frigging luck!

I had a spare filler but I gave it away. Need to beat those corners out and put some armor on.

How did that happen, Victor?

Not sure yet. It appeared that the studs all looked good and that the lug nuts just came off but I was in a rush and I haven't had a chance to give it a good look yet. Luckily the wheel didn't hit anything and do any damage and a guy was driving by with a floor jack in his truck so I had the wheel back on and driving home pretty quickly after it happened, I didn't even notice the fuel fill damage until I got home I was in such a rush.

Glad you didn’t get hurt on in an accident. I’ve had a wheel fall off before. Now I’m a torque maniac.

You guys wouldn’t be the first:

Well a thing happened last week. These 43” stickies followed me home. They have some significant manufacturing defects but I’m not picky if they hold air and grip rocks. They have maybe 2 miles on them. I’ll give them a shot and see if I like them. Not looking forward to swapping them.

The latest. No pics unfortunately. Life is nuts these days.

Mounted the 43” MT Pro stickies (my poor back has called the complaint dept.) Sold 4 of the 43” DOT tires for what I had in all five of them. (win right?) Still have a DOT for a spare for now. Intend to sell the last DOT and buy a new sticky when I have time. Work and home life have me strapped for time lately. Also money, it’s not just a construct.

Added a TK1 King of the Hammers rear sway bar. Between this and the stickies, total game changer. We sit level on off camber, crawl wet rock and literally don’t have to endure the abuse of full sending it up most obstacles at our local park anymore. Thinking of redoing the rear lower links mounts to sit flush and triangulate plus adding aluminum lower links next. Maybe full hydro steering and more front stretch next season. Will see. This LJ is becoming a buggy. That concerns me a little.

This LJ wheels like a Billy goat now. I’m so impressed with it. If you need a sway bar call TK1. They will build a kit for you based on specs.

Still prob will have a hard time following @gasiorv around but my low talent light comes on when he is around 😆.
 
Hey homeboy, I am up in South Dakota. Wheeled fruity pebbles, jake, and cheerio yesterday. Hitting hal johns today. That buggy would be fun in those rock gardens on fruity pebbles!

We need to plan a trip pretty soon. Do you want to come to crawl the Ozarks and guide or run tailgunner? I can talk to Eric if you do.

Hal Johns may be my favorite trail of all time, definitely top 3 and it is high of 67 deg today so Black Hills wheeling is legit!

I think I am to go wheeling in Oklahoma that same weekend as CTO, but if Eric needs help I would be willing to lead or tail gun. Either way I am wheeling one way or another that weekend.
