What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2013

[oleblue27]

I took my double stack apart /: so now I am running just Old Man Emu struts and Springs with a coil cut off and a 2" RC spacer in the rear. Which means I am running my 34's with just a 2" lift! I have no rubbing in the rear thanks to a little trimming of the wheel well liner and some self tapping screws. The front driver side only rubs at full lock. But the passenger side is bad, but as long as I take it easy I have no rubbing. Good news is I should be ordering the superlift by the end of the month finally! So I shall be at 6" of lift.

Oh! And I also sanded and repainted my roof rails, mirrors, side molding, rear step plate and door handles! Along with some headlight restoration and the removal of the front bumper and cutting of the flares even with the turn signal to get ready for my new bumper!

34's on a 2" lift... Wow..

That's Jack, my "micro coyote." (He's a Pomeranian, with "wolf sable" coloring) He has to supervise what I'm doing. He'll bark at the shop door until I let him in.

I used the rest of the pipe and made a longer one on the other side, and now my walking stick goes into that one. I've always expected the thing to punch a window out on a hard trail from its sliding around. (or poking someone's eye out) I've put it on the roof rack, but then it gets plastered filthy, and I have to clean it off before using it, so half the time it gets left behind on a hike. I need the thing for flipping rattlesnakes out of my way if nothing else. My stick is 5 feet long, and I've had it forever. There's badges/medallions from about every national park nailed onto it.

One more thing I did was make a "wrench" for the caps with a piece of oak 1x3. I used the milling machine to make a 1 5/8" square hole in the middle of an 8 inch long piece, and rounded the corners on the belt sander. I can torque the caps tight real easy, so the average parking lot thief can't just walk up and unscrew it/them. The wooden piece goes into the mesh storage thing on the driver's side in the back. It's very light and not like packing a heavy pipe wrench.


On edit:
Oh yeah, last night I tossed the factory jack out. With an ARB X-Jack, why bother? Besides, would YOU want to use that silly unstable thing on a dirt trail which is where the chances are highest to get a flat? The things are a death trap on perfectly level pavement. The X-Jack is an airbag that lifts the Jeep 30 inches if needed, and mud or sand, it doesn't care.

That left room in the back for winch stuff like the snatch block and the like. Now I don't have to dig it out after unloading camping gear first when/if I need to winch something. My J-hook hitch piece, a shackle, a folding shovel, trucker's triangle reflector, and a few flares are crammed into that space now.

Well, I'm not doing this today, but this little feller is going on at my next oil change.
