so I've just about got my plan together FINALLY!

this week I'm picking up a set of 245/75/16 Goodyear MTRs and rims off a rubicon, that already have had the center bored out of 2 rims for hubs to pass through. After that, i'm picking up a PA 3" body lift kit, replacing my clutch, slave cylinder, and clutch master cylinder. i'm also getting a custom front bumper made (almost like christian's old one) that will have provision to mount a winch, and extending the breathers (finally).

I've already got a Dana 35 I'm eyeing, and trying to find a rear disc 8.8 as well. I'd get both regeared to either 4.10 or 4.56, and am going to put a lock rite in each one. the dana 35 will also get a warn manual hub kit. When I have these ready, I am also going to install a 3" James Duff drop brackets,and radius arm,and do the "floppy jeep spring" setup. In the rear I plan to run a set of explorer leafs (sitting in the garage) with a 2" chevy lift shackle. Going to get a set of custom driveshafts made as well. I would like to run an ARB SS25 snorkel, but will probably just run one that sucks from the cowl. Then, my thinking is to get a set of 33's (the 245's will probably be used up by then),get some rock rails made, and a rear bumper,and then maybe getting a exo-cage to tie then together. As for the winch, i want a milemarker 10,500 lb hydraulic one, as you can never really have too much winch. Then some smaller things like on-board air, maybe a rebuilt 2.9, stereo system, dual batteries, army paint job, stuff like that....

with any luck at all, I should have most of the feasable stuff done by next winter....


any thoughts? :D

 

gross plan dude go for it that would be sick as hell

 

Dman wish I was closer or I'd offer to help, yeah like Kurt said that would be sick dude!

 

i'm hoping so....I need to drive like 60 km's back and forth to school every day, so I need something stout and dependable...that's won't break wheeling since it's my DD too, at least until I figure out what to do with the ranger...

 

seems like it's going to be far more than mall rated :D

haha, very nice plans, hopefully everything will come together for u

 

just remember engine dies then the winch dies. just something to think about

 

true, but I don't plan on being in a position where the engine will die (wheelin anyway)...a snorkel will take care of one part, and just plain being careful is the other...everyone else I know are the ones messing up engines, hell, last week my buddy managed to tweak a rod in his XJ foolishly trying to pass/race a civic.....

am I the only normal one?

besides, a hydraulic winch doesn't need a cool down period, has more brute strength, and puts no strain on the electrical system....

 

$$$$$$ is all i have to say. id say in the 6000 dollar range ish. being cheap too. WAY cheap.


itde be pretty badass though.

 

for what....all the stuff? I know, but alot of it does depend on where I get stuff, the local j/y can get some good stuff not bad (explorer axles) and our one local 4wd store (that is 1 1/2 hours away) I get an 8% discount for being a member of a local jeep club...hehehe
