On Monday I started my first RE LA on a two door JK. It ended up on Toyo 37's with 513's. It went out on Thursday after we tweeked a few things and as Jambo it next week I will get to see it in action. Thursday afternoon I started in on RE LA on a two door JK #2. This on will be on 35's and I am imagining 488's but havn't seen the boxes yet. I will get to see it on the trail in the Jambo as well as it is owned by the first ones sister.
Fron a functional standpoint they are completely different then the TJ or anything else I have worked on. Lots of drilling, less welding although I decided on welding the front sway-bar tabs as drilling in the passenger side stock tab was all but imposible and I was too lazy to go get the plasma
.
For those who are going to insall this themselves, a couple of notes from my expirience. The passenger side bump stop will com into contact with the bolt form the track bar, we shortened the bolt head with a lathe and moved the bump stop forward and welded it in place. If you are gonna run 37's on a 4.5 kit you will need to clearance the rockers (we did 2") and we also cut a triangle out of the pinch weld on both leading edges of the rear fender wells. I am gonna finish #2 tomorrow so we will see if I find any more issues to share.
Hope this helps.
