Diesel Sahara 40s No Wonton! Blasphemy

[konakona]

curious about a couple of things on your build.

first (and perhaps easiest); why did you do the Fender liners? was there a problem they solved?

more importantly, which version of the Antirocks did you get (standard or heavy-duty) and what do you think of them now that you've had a little while longer to play with them?

Sorry been MIA for a while due to work.

Front liners were installed because of the fender chop the artec ones cleaned up the openness
Antirocks I honestly don’t notice them them anymore on the road, my wife doesn’t even know them when she drives the Jeep. I lost around 2 inches of down travel I think with them on. I have the .850 bar

Unrelated, got a mini split inside the garage so now I can comfortably do more wrenching on the Jeep in AZ summers.

Jeep currently at 23k miles only issue is the “leather” on driver seat keep separating from the seam will be getting replaced by Jeep for the 2nd time.


Soon to come:
Shock options to replace rocksports
New tires
Rpm 2.5 ton steering

thanks for the response.

do you find the upper ends of the rear Antirocks to be close to the inner sidewalls of the tires? i've seen them within fractions of an inch in some applications, and am wondering how you might have dealt with that.

I have no issues with binding or anything touching

interesting.

i’m using 35” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/Ts, and they seem to be a bit chunkier, perhaps; mine are somewhat closer.

Oh wow that looks tight. What’s the BS on your wheels? Something around 4.5 BS would give you similar clearance to mine

wheels are Mopar Beadlocks; 17x8 with a Backspacing spec of 4.4.

i suspect it would be fine if the Mickeys weren't so chunky.
i'll be looking to tune them a bit this weekend when i have more time and see where things wind up.

Received some beef this weekend

Decided to buy new arb twin. Will be replacing my Yukon single for my airlockers and this will also act as a backup air up source to my powertank.
Now the wait for AAL mount and remote kit to come in and figure out how I’m going to route everything

Friend bought a new JL Willys diesel so went out to break it in this past weekend

40s with Apex Rapid Valves installed

RCV front, Yukon Chromolly Rears, Apex Steering Boost and American Iron BJ deletes ordered

Rebel Offroad Recon King CO kit ordered

Big dust storm came through on the way home so no good pictures but it still fits in the garage

Better than a Rubicon and with the savings you bought what works.

Figuring out how I’m going route all of this shit is a pain
