New Pics of My first JEEP PROJECT

[XJ Stryker]

I finally got a lil money together. And I am dumping it into the Waggy.

First order of business. Regearing to 4.56 for some new 33's which I havn't ordered yet will take all recommendations on tires prior to ordering.

Spartan Lockers front and rear.

Still searching for a rear bumper. Time to lose the hitch. I want a tire carrier style due to putting a 33 on roof does not seem like fun.

Gonna go up one more inch in lift. Prolly have to Hack and tap the 242 though.

As she sits now.

I love the front stock bumper with tow points but those hang down a bit if I have any left over I may dump them and get a front bumper also.

TJ Lower Control arms. JK shocks... More to follow. ZJ tierod. ADJ trackbar. May just be cheap and redrill it though unsure yet.

By moving this are you denying your MWC roots!

 

[XJ Stryker]

I dont know about denying lol. Yall all know me jeep. Time to let me new brothers in on waggy power. Plus i know i will need help. Mwc just too far now.

 

[XJ Stryker]

Man yall gonna make me cry.

 

[REWSTER]

the waggy is looking good!

for tires... do you drive on the street a lot? i love my BFG AT's for the street. they get packed with mud pretty easy when the trails are super sloppy and get a little slick. but for dry trail conditions and DD'ing there perfect.

if mine wasn't a DD i would have some form of mud tire on there

 

[XJ Stryker]

I have ran mt's on the street for about 4 years now. I will get MT's again. With both front and backed locked it wont get driven on street much any more. Well except to trails and back no trailor.

If you were still local I'd have an offer for your old lift, and help pull it off. I got excited seeing the post, and then disappointed at the new location.

I've now got 15k on the KM2's and they are still at around 60% tread if I had to guess.

After seeing what they did on my cousin's duramax(e rated tires), I wouldn't run them, I hear they work great on the trail though. Can't wait to see the ole girl all dressed up though!

My wife said there is boxes piling up in the garage since I been gone... Woo Hoo my parts are coming in.

My budget did not allow me to get a front bumper though. but I been thinking about removing the old stainless crap one and well its a waggy... I like wood working...

thinking of mocking up a wooden one slapping some bumper endcaps on it and calling it good. Atleast until the budget allows for a steel bumper. If anything it would add some personality to the rig. hopefully make people and someone laugh or smile... never a bad thing.
