Dropped off the new to me Jeep at a local shop to have a lift added on. Looking forward to getting it back soon. These are what’s going on it: [list] Metalcloak 3.5” Game changer lift system w/ Rockport shocks, arms, track bars, etc. [list] 35” BFG KM3s on KMC wheels [list] Full skids [list] Gussetted front axle C’s [list] Ball joints Once I get it back, will install the winch & tune the CB. The CB was giving me some horrible SWR reading that I need to resolve. Excited to get it back & also for a shakedown run when possible after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I haven’t seen it in person yet...had every thing shipped to the shop & didn’t want to visit unnecessarily because of Covid-19. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Couple more shots from the shop. Almost feel sorry to scratch those shiny skids....almost. Should get it back tonight or tomorrow...can’t wait. Once I get it back - will be installing a front winch plate, re-installing my winch, CB, extending the breather hoses, installing longer spare tire isolators, trailer hitch, mounting the fire extinguisher & HiLift in the back cargo area. And then.... ready for a shakedown run at the mall!!    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wow, those are really nice. I especially like the “Boat-Sided” sections. I’m interested about how the "skid guard washers" and Allen bolt heads used to mount the skids work out. I’ve never had success with similar hardware on skids. I know they survive the abuse and therefore hold better but I’ve never been able to get them off easily. Much harder to cut once they’ve been smashed up than a wrecked standard bolt head. |
