AJeepZJ's WK Garage (The Atacama)

Cont'd

Then I didn't touch the Jeep at all during much of the summer of 2010. Work kept me pretty busy. Ironically, during grad school, I managed to find time to install the greatest investment this Jeep has seen thus far - my OME suspension kit (thank you Kolak for your business). It took a few days, because it was not exactly a cake walk by any means but it was fun.

Get'n it done






Then we put on 255/75/17 Good Year Wrangler Silent Armors. There was a little rubbing so i installed 1/4'' spacers to separate it from the ball joint. Even with the 1/4'' spacers, you can tell it's STILL pretty close. But in my future upgrades you'll notice I listed MOAB's for better offset.

Update:

Since I have Yakima cross bars, and bike racks... I decided to keep it all in the same family and got the racks as well. It's strong, but not quite the quality grade as Rola but.. but it's still a good rack... These two pics are without the spacers






Spacers are also in...Much to my surprise it rides a little different, and the ride quality is improved a lot more with the wider stance. It looks absolutely fantastic, but I'd love to get your feedback on it

I think I have a couple pics of the rear view of this vehicle... You can immediately tell the difference. It looks great, and it rides a little more stable. I also happen to have my other Jeep in the vid as well.

Decided to give the stock wheels a face lift...and got the wheels painted graphite this weekend (thanks for your infinite wisdom, Brad) They turned out well. Here are some summary snap-shots.

I completely forgot to upload placement of my CBRadio and Antenna. I didn't want a large whip antenna twirling all over the place, and they just don't look right on a more modern Jeep. They are O.K. on trucks... I thought this was more appropriate appearance wise.



I installed the Radio itself to the side of the middle console on the front passenger side.

Wanted to remove the air damn, but it would look funny with the bull-bar so both were removed. I like this simplistic look better although 4xguard front will be ordered here in a month.


Here is what was done to run the wiring without drilling any holes... There's a few ways you can wire it. If you pull off the rubber lip you can see that you fit some wire between the interior vinyl, and the metal itself. You can then run the wire towards the battery. Here are a few pics without tearing up too much, lol.

Update: I tossed in some new spark plugs after about 45 minutes of panic. But everythings good so far.
