    Anyone have a YJ Charcoal canister kicking around that they are not using? I could use one to get thru inspection. Can't believe I'm asking for one considering how many I've helped remove and throw away.


    Thanks

    John it looks great with the black rollbar. I think the cage green would have been too distracting. Now you just need to buff out those rims!!

    the new rig did everything I asked it too. I didnt get to crazy with it (to Aaron's dismay) because I wanted to feel it out. It crawled over the rocks and flexed nicely, and the coilovers made the steep descent not as butt clenching as I expected. As with any new rig there so things that need to be worked out. The rear bump stops only have less then 2" in the rear and the front has 4" on the passenger side and 2" on the drivers side, but those are easy things to tweak. I have a couple pics on my phone and I know Aaron got some video with his GoPro.


    And Billy, I didnt even know there was a "discount" for members, I thought they were just looking for a head count of who was out there with the group.

    Passed inspection, and on the roads of Newark. It drives really nice on the roads, the long arms and coilovers are great. now the sidewalls of a 40" tire can make it float a bit.


    Slimer, who said I wanted the wife able to climb in it!


    Steve, the exhaust was only temporary.


    And it will be at Big Dogs (first trip for it, should be interesting to learn its quirks)

    I have helped build plenty of jeeps and even a tube buggy. I know how quickly you can spend more money then you will ever get back from building it. Therefore, I have been looking for a jeep that already had a lot of the expensive mods done, that I could just tweak to my style. I found the jeep listed below, made a deal, (only took 2 months) and Aaron and I went and picked it up.



    It’s a 99 TJ with 4.0L, 5 speed with a.4.3:1 Atlas II. It has a High Pinion 60 front with 5.38’s and a lock-right, and a 60 rear with 5.38s, ARB, and Yukon shafts. Suspension is a Poly Performance 3 / 4 link kit, stretched about 7” front and 5” rear, with 14” x 2” F.O.A. remote reservoir coilovers. The bottom of the frame has around 24inches of clearance. Genright stretch corner gaurds with front front tube fenders. Rock equipment rear sway bar, and of course 40” Goodyear Kevlar MTRs on H2 rims. It has a bolt in OR-FAB cage and even still has AC and heat. I have added side marker lights and extended the exhaust and hope to get it thru DMV sometime this week.

    9) Jump150-- I'll be bumming rides since I havent found a new rig yet (but I'm not pointing any fingers)

    look at the interior, the door panels, dash, center console and who knows what else looks like it has some form of Rhino lining. Most likely not the best idea to cover that airbag with that stuff.
