What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

[Sal-XK]

They clean up perty! Walking back to my XK today I stared at like a blonde with big.... Well you get the idea LOL

[TrialByFire]

Finished replacing lower ball joints, upper ball joints and bushings I started last Sunday. Now maybe I can get it aligned!
I also replaced the passenger CV (again) because the current one was very stiff and probably contributing to my poor gas mileage.

Last night I tore apart the rear end again. My mission was to install 1 inch bump stop spacers. After some crazy articulation testing during the process I ended up installing the 2 inch spacers. I think the rear end is good to go now. With the HD OME coils the rear end doesn't stuff the tires into the fender flares like it did when I had the spacer lift on. I'm thinking it has something to do with the higher spring rate coils. 7 more days until groves grog mud bog and I think I might go creek wheeling again today. I found out late last night that a bunch of the local guys are heading down there this afternoon.

Relocated the light bar to the front (removed the rack yesterday, not going to run one for now), couple of brackets off the radiator support panel that come through the grille.



Also installed the other of the singles (one each side at the rear), used the factory bolt and notched the side rail cover out to sit around it.





Rears are currently wired to the switch panel in the front, just have to put in a second feed from the reverse lights. Eventually!

I miss the roof rack and light set up. Is there no way you can carry a document with you signed off by the locals that says you are within regulations??

[valpacer]

I wish. You have the land of the free, i'm in the land of do what your goddamn told! In my state you cant even engineer a modified lift - engine changes etc are all ok as per regs, but tyres and lift are set. Having said that I can engineer the new diff mounts and locations, just not the height or tyre size. Means if i at least get pulled over by the police it will look like im doing the right thing and just wear the fines for the tyres.

I may put a different rack up, but a slimmer one.

The powdercoat on the rack had all gone chalky, and there are a couple of decent rust holes in the main frame, so it wasnt just for looks. Now its off the truck, it wont sit on the ground flat either, so the twist in the body (whatever little there is) has been enough to twist the rack. For what i paid it was actually pretty disappointing. Was the first one in Queensland though - never be the first its the one they experimented on!

I realized I never put up pics of my new tires. I actually went with the Hankook Dynapro ATMs. The wheels are from a 05 Grand Cherokee that I painted. I used a coat of self etching primer, two coats flat black, and 3 coats of satin clear coat. I'm really happy at how they turned out.

I put my carpet back in. Way easier this time around.
