Next up: EVO quarter pounder front bumper and rear corner skins

Nice! First pic looks just like mine? but that's where it ends. Hoping to be able to add plenty of mods and still stay marrried

 

[zimm]

EVO quarter pounder installed. Cut out crash bar, rotated rubicon sway bar motor, and relocated vacuum pump.

I lost my 10" LED and fog lights, but gaining the recessed winch and hi-lift slots makes up for it. I'll add the stinger someday after I move from this house, but right now my garage doesn't have enough depth for it to fit!

 

[zimm]

Time to drill a bunch of holes in the body and sawzall out some metal! Evo aluminum rear corner skins and body mounted tire carrier.

Nice build! Are you on rubi axles with different insides or did you do an axle swap?

Rubi axles but revolution rear shafts (stock flanges bent), 4.88 gears, and the fronts are getting revolution shafts with 1350 joints in a few days because I just lost an inner seal and dripping gear lube in the garage.

 

[zimm]

New house has a bigger garage, so EVO stinger and PIAA fogs.

 

[zimm]

Finally got the new inner axle seals installed with 1350 revolution shafts and dynatrac ball joints.

For Southern Florida off-roading and just daily driver duties, I took off the stinger and body mount carrier for now. The body mount was interfering when towing my camper. It's easier and faster to get in the back of the jeep with just the hinged carrier on. I'll put it back on someday when I have a truck to do towing duties. The stinger will go on before my Moab 2019 trip, but not needed for the malls of Miami.

Upgraded the CB from a Midland 1001LWX to a President McKinley SSB CB radio. Auto squelch and built in automatic SWR meter plus the extended range of single side band if needed.

Thanks for the invite, but I'm going to Moab in June '19. I wish I could swing 2 trips!

This summer we're getting stationed to Naples, Italy. So the Jeep needed some Europe friendly modifications. Gone are the 37's on deadlocks and cut fenders. New are 35" Goodyear Duratracs, 17" Method wheels, and stock un-cut fenders.
