my "wannabe jeepspeed" grand cherokee build

[Ryan93]

looks bitchen, how does that steering hold up in the desert?

 

[grandrunner]

pretty good so far haha havent had any problems it feels nice too. when this goes out im switching to heim steering

 

[scottmcneal]

Looks great..You still need to put rails on her..

 

[tone]

Looks good Ryan when I get my leafs on we need to go on a beat run fosho!

 

[ratboy93]

alright update pics.
deaver coils, fox bumps. and how she sits now.

i dont think that limit starp is goin to work very well :spin1:

 

[Cache96]

Looks good!!!! The springs raised it up a bit... do you have pics on how your front bumper is installed? does it go through the rails?
Its almost time for glamis

My friend does powder coating cheap if your interested, i see your rims are peeling hahah...
He does real good work he did the rims on my truck..
heres a pic of the rim..

 

[grandrunner]

tone im ready when you are!

ratboy haha i know i havent found a new spot to connect them yet, with the new steering i had to cut off the sway bar links on the axle.

cache yeah i was thinkin about just getting the outside of them painted so its cheaper haha ill let you know when im ready. when ur lookin at the bumper and there is those two little oval slits in the bumper. and theres two little black things pointing out. i took those off, cut the holes bigger and have metal plating coming out of it now. let me see if i can dig up some pics or ill take some later.

haha let me know im talking cheap like less then 100 for all 4.

 

[grandrunner]

Wow that is cheap Haha maybe at the end od the month when I have some exitra cash

 

[Cache96]

How do you like the limit straps there instead of the sway bar/links?

 

[tone]

I don't believe he has them hooked up yet...

 

[grandrunner]

yeah i dont have them hooked up yet. i had to cut the sway bar links off of the axle because of the otk steering. so i have to find a new place to mount them. if you still have yours you can connect them there it works fine. ive had it like that for about 2years.

 

[cordon00]

[grandrunner]

thought id update my build again.
bumps are in. and just got new coils for the rear to bring the back up.

[Cache96]

Are those bumps the 4" travel taken down to 2.5"?

 

[grandrunner]

nope just 2.5, alot of the jeepspeed guys will tell u to go with the 2.5's cuz the 4's might rub the coils. n honestlt with bypasses they work verrryyyyy well.



might as well update too lol i got bypasses and 33's

 

[Mike1331]

Any updates? Are the rear arms stock? Can you get a close up of how you mounted the bumper? I should be picking up a 5.9 this weekend...and then the transformation begins.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

I'm almost positive this rig got parted out and sold months ago.

 

[Mike1331]

yeah i was just looking on jeepspeed...

to bad this thing was cool.

950 seems like a reasonable price for the shell considering what's been done to it.

 

[tone]

everything is gone, all he has left are the coils...
