Upgrades Finished – Here’s Some Pics
Jun/090
We finished the upgrades some time ago, but have been on the road so much that we haven’t been able to post any updates. Here’s a few pictures from some of our trips…
42s … Sneak Peak
Jan/092
We’ve had the Jeep sitting on 42s for a little over a month now….we just didn’t have time to post up the pictures.
We should be getting the steering linkage wrapped up within the next couple days, rear axle finished tomorrow, Atlas installed next week, and so on. The main wait will be waiting on the steering box and pump to be sent off and modified by Howe for the hydraulic assist system.
Winter Upgrades (42s, D60s, Atlas, etc.)
Nov/080
I just wanted to post an update on what we are going to do this winter. Here’s the grocery list:
- 42×15x17 Pit Bull Rockers
- SOLID Dana 60 axles front/rear
- ARB Air Lockers
- Superior 5.13 reverse cut gears
- 4340 Chromoly 35 spline inner and outer shafts
- SOLID ball joint knuckles
- SOLID high steer arms
- Mile Marker premium lock outs
- Raceline RT-233 Monster beadlock wheels
- Custom fender flares
- Leaf spring rear w/ traction bar
- Modify rear tire carrier to hold the new meat
- Atlas 2-speed transfer case
- 1350 CV driveshafts front/rear
- Extreme Duty front track bar
- Howe hydraulic assist steering
The parts have started showing up. Our goal is to have the Jeep back on the road and running smooth by March. We have a couple of customer vehicles to do in between this project, but we should have plenty of time left over to get this all finished.
Status Update: Stage 1 Lift/Tires/Wheels
Feb/0710
We finally got to the first stage of the build up. The lift, tires, wheels and graphics are all in place. We still have a lot more planned, so keep checking back. Here are some pictures for now:
2007 Jeep Wrangler Aquired!
Nov/0614
Welcome to the first post of our project.
We have just acquired a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X. It’s a pretty base model with the S package, hard top, auto trans and SIRIUS radio. The goal is to make this Jeep more capable than a Rubicon package for less money.
So far, the plans are for:
- Superlift 4 inch lift kit
- 37×13.50×20 Pit Bull Rocker tires
Auburn ECTED electric lockers(We have since determined that these don’t applicate the JK…YET)
- Superior 4.88 gears — EDIT: Let’s make it 5.13 gears!
- Superior alloy axle shafts
- Tuffy center console insert
We are looking for suggestions for other mods including bumpers and wheels. Please leave your suggestions as a comment on this article.
