Here's an update on the Jeep... it's been on a lot o trails so far, scraped some skids up, and never been stuck yet. (never needed the lockers, actually)

Image
More things got painted pink :lol:


Image
She got a safari top and deck cover for her b-day... I must admit it's pretty cool.

Image
Like I said... plenty of trails. (Halfmoon Road- July '09)

No mechanical issues of any sort so far... just one oil change.

Well...it's official... Pinkie got lifted today! :BANANA:

I've been in the driveway for 11 straight hours (minus a 30 minute run for Wendy's and some grade 8 bolts)... that was a lot of work!!

I'll post up pics tomorrow :mrgreen:

Well it took me long enough but here are the lift pics...

She's off partying in Vegas... and I'm ripping her Jeep apart...
Image

Old and new track bars...
Image

Front adjustable upper control arms...
Image

Lower control arms...
Image

Getting the front lifted...
Image

Lifted front end...
Image

Here's the big problem with automatic 4dr JK's... at full droop the front driveshaft hits this skid... a couple minutes with an angle grinder made a nice notch in the skid and there is no more contact.
Image

That's all the pics I have of the process... it got complicated (and dark) and I was in a hurry :5SHOTS:

Before:
Image


After:

are those the new tires or are those trail tires?
