Nicely done Glen. I lived and wheeled in SD/SoCal/Johnson Valley for ~35 years. Beautiful area of the county.
I miss the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation days.
The orange 3/4" (7/8" pin) D-ring shackles from Nilight arrived yesterday. Powder coating seems nice. They come with rubber washers for the pins and snap on/off isolators to help reduce clanking around. I need to add a few 7/8" washers between the rubber and clevis mount to help take up a bit...
Second Krylon Fusion coat - done.
Received my wheels today. All 4 boxes had different packaging materials, and the methods used to pack them varied, which is no big deal, but one box is missing both hubcap allen bolts.
I'll make a trip to my local Fastenal/or hardware store to replace the...
Found a set of 4, Arsenal matte black wheels today in a size I should be happy with (17x8 5x127 +30mm offset/5.68" backspace). I ordered them after I called to verify that there were 4 in-stock & was told they are.
It's been a PITA trying to find a set of wheels I like, that were available...
I finished applying two coats of primer on each side of the bumper. Next up is spraying at least two coats of black Hammered, Krylon Fusion.

Cleaned up the Motobilt Hammer front bumper today and started spraying it with some Rustoleum primer. I went ahead and taped the mounting studs and threaded holes for the factory fog lights.
Since it was a little cold in the garage, I put a heat lamp next to the bumper to warm it up prior to...
Ok fellow Mojaveites :LOL: I'm getting ready to install an AEV 2" spacer kit with F&R Clayton adjustable track bars (rear TB with the bend to fit large spare tire) and swapping to a set of 5, 37x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's. Suspension kit & tire install will happen in my garage...
Looks REAL nice :rock:
I run a set of either 37's or 39 red lable sticky's on my YJ.
Here's what a set of 39's look like twisted on a YJ. That's my friend Val driving - she ain't skeered of rocks. :giggle:
I'm jumping in with both feet. :like:
Picked up my Mojave a little over two months ago and started collecting parts soon afterwards.
I drove ~85 miles north this morning to pick up a set of tires I ordered and will be putting them and other goodies on soon.
The day I brought it home.
I was expecting the 37's I bought last week to be at 4WP in Glen Bernie, MD either Friday or Saturday - but that didn't pan out.
They arrived today so I'm driving ~85 miles north tomorrow morning to pick them up.
Since I bought 5 and I'm not having them mount them, I'm bringing some ratchet...
