The jeep has been far from ready. I think if all goes well there is a little urban test I need to film this week. I might get some footage out at the dunes this weekend depending how cold it is I guess. I was planning on taking my ex-gf so she hates the cold and will not get out to film unless its warm.
 
I have not been on here in a while so here it goes(hope I dont get another complaint ha ha). Got a new vid of the jeep and my buddies ranger.

Jeep looks good Chad! Was this before or after the rear shock setup? Looks like you're bumping a bit early.

This was just a couple days ago... Not really bumping early, just not wanting to bump off my flares. I had to change to the 4.5" polys on the rear so I did'nt lose my rear flares on hard hits. Thats about the most uptravel I get until I figure some way of mounting the flare higher.

Ha ha wow after that car I had to buy a toyota. We bent the front clip on that so bad the hood would only shut unless we jumped on it, the radiator was leaking pretty bad, and we broke an a arm mount. You know even with all that beating the thing ran just fine and other then sitting a little low on one side it drove ok too.

Ditch the flares and trim the fender, mount some rusty's flex flares up higher if you still want flares.

I think Im going to just make a mold from the stock flare and make a fiberglass flare that has a flat back so I can 3m tape it up over a fully cut wheelwell. It gets kinda hard when you have three project vehicles though.

Yup i watched that one before also. Man does it make me want one. but in this economy i couldn't. Ill have a new job here gettin wrecked cars on the auction block. maybe ill snag up a running car that drives and wreck the crap outta it, then sell the rest for parts haha

Thats a good idea ive been planning something similar, but I dont think a glass flare would hold up so well unless its never touched by anything. I also though of just getting two stock flares, sectioning them and plastic welding them back together and then reinforcing it with some glass. That way I could move the flare way up and it would still look stockish.

Yeah I thought of just getting a piece of aluminum and using epoxy to stick it to the back of the flare. I think fiberglass or epoxy would hold up fine.
 
We took our truck out for a little test on the new engine and re-worked shackle angle.

Looks to me like I need to do a little less rebound dampening in the rear but other wise i think were close to being ready.
