GOT THE LIFT (HAVE NO MONEY)

NEW RIG^^^^(JUST LIFT<TIRES<RIMS)
HEY SUCKS when you have 1300 in the bank and u spend all but 30 bucks(spent before). i think we all go thru that. i went to fill up today and god i was declined . lucky i had 3bucks to get home. yeaa whoo.


<i need one!!

ya - but it looks good!

welcome to the broke club, just keep in mind to wheel your going to have to have some money set aside because you will break stuff. Also you may want to look into getting a AAA card if your going to be driving it too and from the trails.

I feel your pain... I spend months collecting parts like a hermit crab searching for a new shell...

The lift stage keeps me held up because I am at the point of needing SYE/Driveshaft, plus the lift...

But soon... very soon... that barrier will be broken and I will be back with a vengeance for blood... I mean mud...

Another word of advice... lifts are nice... but you get in trouble (ie broken parts) REAL quick if you don't have the skids to go with it.

I (and many others) have taken out my oil pan... and now according to 4wd and Quadratec that has become dealer item only (read EXPENSIVE!!!).

The cost of my new Skid Row engine skid was the same as the new oil pan.

Then you have diffs to worry about, and look at my post on control arm skids.

Buy all the armor you can afford... and see you on the trails.

The Jeep looks great. What lift and tires did you go with?

4" Rough Country (NEW)
33' Dunlap Mud Rover(USED)
15'American Racing rims(USED)

Looks good. Get some skids and recovery gear. Then we will see you out on the trails.

yea got my tow hooks there mounted not showing puting the rear hitch on with a hook not mounted just got off matt(rockdw72)mounting this week.

working at a machine shop you should be able to fab up some of your own skids from scrap metal.

Yeah what they said about saving $$ is true

this weekend
2 tires $226 each plus mounting
1 drive shaft
2 Control arms
1 starter

It was a expensive weekend but worth it....

Jeep looks Great!!

what did you do

RC on Thursday and Sat.

Short version
Starter died, cut tire while dragging it off Snake Bite (section 3) thursday Other tire was the spare that was already damaged

Hill climb left side of Lake Christy saturday, snapped two bolts on the upper rear control arms and rolled the axle enough to break the flange on the shaft at the u joint. Drove it home with front wheel drive.
