For all the comments about Distinction Applied, I highly recommend. I have one of their grilles, windshield bumpers, cowl as well on mine and it looks fantastic and holds up well.
No pictures but today we changed the break-in oil in the new engine and I got the restrictions lifted, I can go...
To-Do List -
392 Hood (Paint)

Anti-Theft Devices
Skids
Switch (Swap Old for New)

Flex Adjustments (it hasn't even been flexed yet, except for riding the lift...)
Final Adjustments for Freedom Panels (Latches on front of cage)
Not as bad as I was thinking, I'll...
Over the last two days, we got her finished up enough that we will be driving her down to Jeep Beach on Monday!
She's loud and rowdy and oh so glorious... the bad news is, we have a punch list full of things still to do when we get back...
72" WMS, 4" tubes - East Coast Gear Supply Kingpin D60 with 40 spline axles in the front.
14 bolt in the rear, same set up.
Both with Air lockers and 5.38 gears
The 42s clear the frame easily, front links I was getting into at full lock, however that was on the old suspension.
Praying that I...
You didn't have to get anything else other than the PAC module, right? I had my guys take it out real gentle like, so I hope all the wiring was reusable.
Love the product have one in my garage, not quite tall enough for my 4.5" lift and 42" tires to get above the roof, but with a little manual lift and adjust of the top, I can get it from where it sits on the bed.
I was skeptical at first, because the first competitor that comes in at a lower...
I have multiple pieces that are take offs during my current build phase.
First off Suspension $2000 OBO
This lift was bought new in August 2024, so only one season of off-roading on it. Only selling as I'm moving to long arms. Comes with coil springs, shocks, arms, track bar, spring adjustment...
This lift was bought new in August 2024, so only one season of off-roading on it. Only selling as I'm moving to long arms. Comes with coil springs, shocks, arms, track bar, spring adjustment pads, some hardware. Missing the items circled in red in the screenshot from Rock Krawler - Sway links...
So we've had some delays and rearranging of the order we were going to do the work, but suspension brackets are getting mocked up and burnt in -
The rear is causing some cutting and custom fabrication on the sliders. I knew this might be the case as Motobilt sells a version of the sliders...
Hate that you dealt with this Dan, I'm affiliated with some of the folks who helped put on the large event you attended in AZ, so if you want to run some more details by me in a PM, I'd appreciate the extra details. Want to make sure none of my crowd was involved, I feel like I know who you are...
Engine went on pause as the motor mounts were wrong...... Next day air'd a set to us, but in the meantime they started the fuel tank and suspension work, since the Rock Krawler Rockzilla kit had shown up.
She's completely bare underneath right now as the cut and grind brackets and weld up new...
She got cleaned up and got the motor mounts tacked in today. Then she got the hose!
Well, actually a pressure washing, at some point my PSC reservoir had coated the engine bay so it got a wash before the new motor goes in, hopefully V8 sounds before the weekend!!
I'm curious as to a few things - 4.88 gears on 40s, tons, and all, is that what it was pre-swap and just not adjusting it for now or is that what they recommended?
Also curious as to the transmission choice, usually with that much horsepower, I'm seeing the builds go with a 8HP95 transmission...
Went by today and saw the tear down -
The old is out -
And the new one is in house -
3 pallets - one with the engine, one with transmission, one with all the extras-
Old V6 w/trans is sold and will be picked up Monday, about to list the hood, cowl, exhaust, and a few other non-reused...
