it wants to crawl on something

Postby rhulain » Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:29 pm

I'm Evan I really love taking the jeep out when i can. I dislike mud cuz when its there i just have to swerve for it. i really do prefer crawling on things from rocks, boulders, fallen trees, difficult mole hills, or staggering mountains. I drive a Tj Named Rhulain green I literally got my lift on the night before last.a 3 in sky jacker makes a world of difference on the look but so dose my fenders Im in the process of making.

Ok now what I did was made a new line. Hit the image button, pasted the link after [img] than clicked the image button again. Should look like this

Working on your rig is like a really great date: you start out expecting it to be something simple and straightforward; four hours later you're laying under her, panting and cursing, and things are a lot more complicated than you ever wanted.

Kind of the same deal except you have to re-size the photo to the dimensions specified on this site. And, you do not use the img tags.

At least that's how I do it using photobucket. There could be an easier method, but I seem to be good at doing things the hard way. :D

sure i loved the look of the metal cloak fender but theres no way i could pay the price. so i made my own in a way. I really like square tube so thats what i used i made every thing my self out of used metal that i put the time in to clean up. os far i have only had to pay for the lights $15. the square tube $40, and the yj hood latch $13. thats for both fenders and the flairs. so a total of 68 bucks, sure thats not including the cans of paint.

i compleatly replaced my inner fender as well. so i when i pay off my jeep i can get some money back out of the stock fender. with out cutting it up. Also my fenders allow me to fit 35 inch tires with no lift, and with my 3 in lift i can fit 37 in tires. sadly i only have 33x12.5 right now. but i havent up graded my axles yet. so play smart till i gear up or axle and gear up. what id like to do is go to dana 60 and 4.88 or 5:13 gears ands slip yoke eliminator. big plans high hopes.

Are you going to incorporate a flare to provide any tire coverage?
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

I think the question is, "Why is the fender flair up not out?
And on the upgrades, I think you are right, but the 60 is overkill. For now go play on the 33s and figure out what you need.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Personally, if you leave it as is, I think you're a ticket looking to happen, on or off road...Best be learning the fender laws we have to deal with.

the law as iv seen it is the tires shouldn't be further than 2 in. outside of the vehicle or flair. that's what it is on base and that fairly congruent to most states.

A fender that goes up to look like a highline fender from a distance but not actually do it. So what's next, a snorkel?
