Hey guys! Well this will likely be short and sweet as I don't keep a jeep around for long - and I really don't care for this one so maybe sooner rather than later..
Anywho, Ive done several LCG TJ's in a row - 35's on 3" or under. This one is NOT going to be high lined, and be a bit milder. 04 with 120k on it, 5 speed. Had rust on the front fenders and a smidge under the tailgate, otherwise fairly clean. A good 5-10 footer.
I bought it looking like this:
It had bumpers, winch, FACTORY NAVIGATION, lowish and chopped Duratracs, meh.
Sold the bumpers, winch, cleaned it up a little..
Had to replace the front wheel bearings, u joints, and ball joints, and set the toe cuz it was completely jacked - Hence why the front tires were all chopped up.. Also replaced a couple o2 sensors.
Put on one of our front bumpers and sliders - shameless plug to the company a buddy and I are trying to get off the ground..
Sold the Ravines and 31's and put some 33" duratracs and steelies on it.. Initially it was going to be another highlined LCG like the last few ive built.. But at the time 35" MTRKs were on national backorder.. oh well.
Was given a LOD bumper in trade for a stock bumper and assistance installing it...SOLD. Now the bumper was in sad shape, so it took some effort - installed new mounts, recessed a hitch into it, and had to cut out a bad spot of the carrier, AND has some pitting.. But still, Free.
Sold the hardtop, bought a frame and canvas - man I love these smittybilt tops. Seriously, like $200 bucks and fits like a glove.
That pretty much brings us to present day. I think we're maybe speaking of 3 months here. I have some parts to throw at it yet. PSC 3" Tapered Defenders on the way to be color matched, a whole host of aluminum products from Marked Designs - our company my buddy and I hope to get off the ground, some 3/4" PSC LED turns - the cool 3 wire ones, oil pan skid for when I never go wheeling anymore, and maybe some other little tidbits.
OH and to sell it. 🙂
Lastly, look at all the offroading I do lately.. 😱 Nice bumper and sliders though huh? 8)
