Looks like you need some AtTheHelm sliders :rockon:

Hope the bad luck ends and something good starts happening for you

Just keep on :JEEPIN:

You mean these? viewtopic.php?f=88&t=80895

The good luck will start showing once I get an estimate done for the damage and then use 1/4 of the money towards replacing and the rest towards getting these to fit:

Yes those lol, and are you going to try and make tube fenders or just mode those to fit? I would love to try and make some but it would be hard to do the rears.

The rears will be nearly impossible, but the more I look at the JK flare mounts and the KKs I think this could be a straight bolt-up application. I''ll be getting some junk JK flare in a week or two to test fit those before I buy these =D

Got my new rack and pinion. Hopefully this fixes it. If not I'll have to buy a new pump as well...shouldn't need to since it looks as if the driver's side o-ring is what blew out on the rack.

If I may ask what did that run you?

Bought the A-1 Cardone from Adv Auto, $150 plus $70-75 core charge (the core charge is refunded after returning old one). After two bottles of ATF+4 and minus the military discount it was $227.

Ok cool thanks, I'm debating on just buying one now as a back for while I'm on the trails

I'm probably going to rebuild my old one if it's just a gasket thingy. That way I have a spare haha.

Got my estimate done for the deer damage finally.

Nice... so are you actually going to repair the deer damage, or buy something cool?

Going to buy a new door ($932 before paint) (which crumpled, I really have to vouch for the safety of the KK too haha), and new headlamp ($200 but used are cheaper) (the mounting brackets all broke), and new inner fender liners ($30 for pair) (it's ugly under there haha). And then after testing fitting some trash JK fender flares to test shape and fitment, I'm hoping to buy a pair of MetalCloak JK fenders ($700...) and stubby-ize my bumper haha.

Im like 90% sure the jk fenders won't fit due to the jk has straight / flat sides and the kk is a continuous round shape, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure. Though you might be able to fab a mounting plate to make it work, good luck.

I hope I'm wrong because I want to do this too lol

JK vs KK No Fender:

I see enough similarities...

The JKs are also not as straight as you think towards the front of the grille.

Yea the fronts are similar I was just thinking of near the door, but can't wait to see how it goes

Me either haha. Local friend should be getting her lift, new flat fenders, and bigger tires for her JKU. SOOO, I'll be getting her trash fenders for free!

Installed my rack and pinion and new steering pump. She's still in the hobby shop letting all the air bubbles out...she took nearly 2 quarts!

Getting the rack and pinion out was the biggest pain ever...also the oil filter drip tray is removable...

So i just recieved my Center section and hoops for my one off nitro bumper this morning from AtTheHelm! Thanks again Morgan! but i was just curious about wheel spacers. im currently running a 265/70/17 on a 17x9 fuel hostage wheel with a 14 offset and a 5.25 BSM and i want a more agressive stance, and i dont wanna stress my suspension out to much with a wheel spacer. will it hurt if i run about a 1" wheel spacer with my larger tire? Thanks. Pics soon!!

Finally got my KK lifted a couple days ago. 3" OME/Bilstein lift w/ top plates, 1 extra rear iso and new front/rear bumpstops. Also had my lower ball joints replaced, and they found out my rear diff air hose was broken so they replaced that. Love the look and ride already, can definitely tell the difference! Thank you to everyone that I've bugged over the past 6 months about lift questions. [Last picture shows the amount my tires poke out from the 1.25" spidertrax spacers]

21" all around except Passenger's front which was nearly 21.5". I'm guessing the Driver's front wasn't that cause of the that side leaning issue.

Looks good. Stock a-arms?
