TJ: sht50 buildup
 

hey guys just thought i would throw this together to show you what i went from to what it is now.

it started off as a bone stock 05 wrangler with a 2" lift

from there it got a body lift and 32" bighorns

i also bought a hardtop for it

it was at this stage i wanted some more flex and a bit more height, i bought some 3.5" springs and used shocks. and found i had to spend a heap more money to go this big in a wrangler.
So i bought a slip yoke eliminator kit which basically replaces the crap slip yoke on the transfer. and also adjustable control arms.

my next issue was traction and gearing. while the $$$ was good i bought 4.56 ratios and a detroit locker from the states for a reasonable price, i also bought a 4wd lokka for the front.

and that is how it sits as of the moment next on the cards is a winch, some beadlocks and half doors.

nice mate what sye did you end up getting??

im pretty sure it was a rugged ridge one if i remember correctly. good bit of kit really.

iv got the rugged ridge in mine too :)

nice looking tj you have there......how are your lockers and adj arms, there next on my list i think

umm if i had it over again definetly arb lockers the front locker was fine with the
32's but with the 35's i think it is just asking for trouble in a d30.

i think ull find the d30 with handle the creepy's fine so long as ur not wheelstanding it under power or turning sharp while locked i got creepys on mine and havent had any issues of yet but am really keen on upgrading to d44

nice to see uv made alot of progress 2thumbs up

went out to glasshouse mountains for a bit of a wheel. didnt go to bad apart from one broken flare, torn off mudflap and a longside front axle.
