Geez Wiz i just clean a trailer full of dirt off it from playing in the mud should of taken a pic of that as well [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img]

Amosquito were do i start:
1. front springs 4"... from fulcrum
2. disco's homemade...
3. Front bump stop...supercheap rubber mallet then cut the ends off
4. shocks x4 OME long travel... from Northcoast4x4Accessories
5. transfer drop spacers...homemade...ref: gojeep web site... already had some of that steel from another project
6.Rear Bump stop...4 new bolts... steel as above
7. Rear springs...Procomp 3"add-a-leaf and reset old springs to give me the 4".
6. LCA's spacers more steel i had around
7. Tyres 31" Simex Centipede

total cost from stock to how it is now is $1489

Quote:
problems encounterd, how it feels to drive
well the front springs were a bitch to put in but got it in the end. the only thing i need to do now is to get an adjustable track bar to bring the wheel back to center.
and the way it drives! well it is great only have a small wobble to fix when i take off in first the gear knob wobbles (nothing else just the gearbox) just at the first bit when the jeep takes off then it stops and does not come in again no mater what gear you change to only on the take off had a look undar the jeep and the tranny mount has a crack in the rubber so it might be that i'm thinking. but besides that it is great to be up there with all you guys!!

hope this helps some one!! [img]graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
