Last Saturday (5-20):
Keep in mind, I still had my front swaybar connected which severly limits the articualtion. I just ordered my quick disconnects today...

I'll wait on the judgement though until you get your swaybar quick disconnects and some flex pics. :D

[Kwando]

what an ass.... LOL both trucks look nice

[Dave_L]

Good lookin' jeep Jeff!

[smithz]

what an ass....
:werd:

Not trying to be a dick but Moe's got you beat I think

Sometimes I wish I could delete other peoples posts from my thread... showing off was not my intention. Several people asked to see what I'd done to it. That's it.

Yes he does have more flex. Did I somehow convey in my first post I had more flex than anyone in the world? Re-read it, I'm pretty sure I didn't. He's in deeper pits with no swaybar on. He also stated those may be 32's which will naturally stuff further into the wells than 33's will, on top of the fact that it's a ZJ, which have slightly bigger wells to start with.

Now if you're done showing off at how good you are at finding pictures of other people's rigs on the internet, you can /kthxbye yourself.

we need to go wheeling and shooting here in the next few weeks... someone post up a wheeling shooting trip!

Looks like fun....where were you at ??? Looks like a sweet place

Fixed for ya Smithz, its a very nice looking Jeep, I always wanted to modify a Cherokee put a V8 in it and make it a ravage beast...

Nightfall, stop being an Asshat

[floored4door]

Thanks for the Pics smithz! That thing is badass! M4d props!

[Nightfall]

I wasn't intending to be an ass, I apologize. A lot of time and money has gone into yours and I think it's pretty bad ass. To answer your question you absolutely were not conveying that you had an obscene amount of flex and again, I apologize.

Good idea... too bad I suck at the plannin...

And yes, a v8 swap would make it a beast.

Apology accepted, I appreciate you owning up.

[smithz]

These are on the way:

And I'm getting this rear bumper and tire swingout used in a couple weeks:

I changed my custom title. Public humiliation is needed as a punishment. :D When you going to get those on? You'll have to get some new pics taken afterwards. :cheers:

:rofl:

Well hopefully the JKS's will get shipped today... so Friday or Tuesday. I'm really hoping I get them before the weekend. It's ridiculous how much of a difference not having the sway connected makes. The pics below are of the guy I'm getting the rear bumper from, when he took those pics he had the same exact lift kit I have on now so you can see the difference.

He just had a baby (or rather his wife did :D) so the rear bumper is delayed a bit. I'm just waiting for him to tell me to come over and help pull it. I REALLY want to get that huge spare out of the back, it takes too much room.

[Nightfall]

That is quite a difference

[floored4door]

I think the roof rack with the spare up top looks cool.

[David]

Lifted jeeps can go off road? I thought all they did all day was drive around the city cutting people off

[M@]

That's a clean lookin' Jeep. I rememeber when I had my 4Runner and always disconnected the front swaybar before wheelin'. :D

I like the way they look too... but right now she still fits in my garage. With the spare on the back, I can keep her safe from looters. :D

No shit, driven by tiny little soccer mom's on cell phones.

You know exactly what I'm talking about then... it's night and day.

[floored4door]

you should trade me your jeep for hungs old accord. Straight across. :cheers:

I need a lift kit....:(

Rusty's 3" spring-pack... $418. My kit was only $650, but it involved buying a bunch more shit.

NICE!

[floored4door]

HOLY SHIT! I wanna go with you sometime Jeff.. lOoOoOks like mad fun!

[smithz]

:werd: Once I get the rear bumper (to get the huge spare out of the back) I'll be in good shape to have a co-pilot.

[smithz]

Where's Nightfall... I expected at least some kind of comment from him... :D

[hatchbackgirl]

looks like fun, I wanna go!!!!!! Oh, I see your doggy, how cute! :)

[Terry]

So you take it off any sweet jump?

[smithz]

She's always looking at me like "WTF? Stop taking pictures douchebag and let's find some fuckin' snow!!!!!".

[smithz]

hahaha, so you're saying that your dog thinks you're lame?
I am lame, what are you talking about? ;)

No she's just impatient and has alot of energy. Prefers pouncing in 8' snow drifts to being in the back...

Oh yeah, that's right... I totally forgot!!! ;) silly me!

[Brandon]

SICK!!!11uno!

[smithz]

SICK!!!11uno!
Where the hell you been?

I'm thinking about going back to Spring Creek tomorrow sometime if you are interested...

[Nightfall]

I can't believe I didn't notice this either Smithz ;)

I believe I just shat my pants, that is quite a huge difference.

P.S. Do I have permission to change my user title yet? :D

Yessir... "I am no longer an asshat" :rofl:

I went further up the Spring Creek trail yesterday. I almost slid sideways into a tree trying to get over some crazy obstacle. Thank god for the guy behind me that used his winch to pull me straight again so I could get up it. The upper part of that trail gets crazy. Unfortunately I wasn't in a picture taking mood so it's all just hearsay. :D

[Nightfall]

Changed :D

[smithz]

:rofl:

[smithz]

Finally got the rear bumper installed two weekend ago...
