What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[¤|||||||¤]

My secret is I typically stay out of the mud when possible. I also took it almost brand new out to Moab and did incrementally harder tails until only winching was possible. I then took my notes and decided exactly what I wanted to do. I didn’t make a build thread as mostly everything except the body has been modified and that’s just not reasonable for 99.99% of people.

I will make a post in the near future showing all the parts and include a ton of photos. I will give credit to those who hustled to get me parts and gave up their time/weekends to help me. Much of what we did was custom including the placement of the differentials etc. I will say mounting up a Dana 80 on a 2.0 requires custom measurements and working with drive shaft companies to get solid tubes to keep it skinny. I plan to run the 2.0 until the first quarter just to see what it can do. Then I’ll drop a hellcat just because I want the sound. This next trip to Moab I will treat it like a buggy, essentially what it is at this point. I look forward to sharing my experience with everyone so others in the future can make this happen without needing multiple trial runs and shipping parts back and forth.

HAPPY wheeling!

Here is today’s project:

Ah ha.... the catch can... that explains his poor gas mileage, it’s the 50 extra horsepower that’s knocking it down.....

I got a similar pic ..its 19 years old though ! I am as immature now as I was then .

Here’s my plain old wife, of course this pic is a year old and she’s aged a good bit since then.

I think it’s just that Jeep guys snag hot chicks. I had an XJ when we met.

That explains everything! I had an Olds Fiernza. I'm such a loser....
