I think this is it

I'll get some pics up later, didn't get any yet.


When I have the extra $$ for it, I'm going to get the RE 3.5" shortarm kit. The price I got quoted at the shop was a lot cheaper than anywhere I've seen it online... so definitely check with local places first before you order.

 

We should have the thread title changed.


Was the price you got quoted locally an installed price or DIY? Cause if it's installed, I may just do that... maybe. I kind of want to do it myself. The 4.5 Rusty's was running about $560 if my memory serves me correctly. Found the RE for a little less though.

 

I saw that GM!

 

Suite

This is my quote:

3.5" RE Superflex - 683.13
Fixed yoke kit -199.35
CV Driveshaft - 250.00
Rear arms - 180.00

install lift - 250.00
install driveshaft - 225.00

 

Ouch, $250 for the lift install! I think I'll do it myself as planned. Besides, it's a good way for me to learn my way around the thing.



side note, that dude in your av is FREAKING OUT!

 

After the broken fuel pump ($160), beer ($40), tools ($60), and about 4 hours of my life spent trying to put on a simple gas tank skid, $250 to me sounds like a deal for the lift

Although if I had the tools, knowledge, and a good setup, I'd rather do it myself also.



and yeah that guy is great....he's about to have a heart attack because the pope said something he didn't agree with

 

Sliders:

Gas skid:

 

I don't know what you're talking about

 

Really isnt that hard all things considered. if you can make a pot of coffee you can install a life. Any questions you do have just PM me or post in here.

 

i think its about time that i join this thread....

 

Gotta join this thread too since I have a Wrangler now, really need to get some new tires on it, then start thinking about wheeling

 

Are we allowed to join if we have a WK? I know it's not a Jeep-Jeep, but it's still a Jeep!






I WANNA PLAY TOO!!

 

Nice Scribesoft

I test drove one of those before I bought my Wrangler just for fun... very nice ride.

pics?

 

Lookin' good Beet! That gas tank skid looks pretty stout. I like the sliders and the lights too.


Sribesoft, nice Jeep. Ever get it offroad?


o2cls, you need to quit messing around and get with the program already!

 

If I keep playing my cards right i'll be driving next summer Just so you guys know the skinny.....Im in the market for an 02-04 Black Overland!!!

 

That looks pretty much like the one I put on my Mustang, although probably for different reasons.

 

Sweet!


I see you...

 

Well since this is the official jeep thread ill chime in. You guys have some really nice rides.



2004 Rubicon, bone stock and 1974 Scout II, bone stock


1975 CJ5, Headers, Exhaust.(This thing sounds like a Harley)


My parents live in the Gunnison National Forest, so thats where we do most of our offroading. The Taylor Park area and the Crested Butte area are ALOT of fun.

 

Nice Crazy! I like 'em all. I have a couple of buddies with Scouts too. Sweet machines for sure.

 

Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't consider these?

These sealed beam headlights suck! I miss my HID's and want to get as much output as I can. I would think that this would put out a lot more light. Anybody wanna put in their before I pull the trigger?

PS: I could upgrade the bulbs to PIAA's which might help too.

 

very nice

 

I got new wheels today!

Went to Performance Wheel & Tire and traded sets with them. I ended up paying $206 installed and out the door. My factory ones were 15x7 I think but these are 15x8 Jeep "Ravines". I think they come stock on some Wrangler Unlimited's. These aren't the ones I originally wanted but after browsing some pics of lifted Cherokees with these wheels, I had to have them. I also had them flip the white letters to the outside as I like that look better on a Jeep.

What do you think? I think it looks 100x's better.







Just for fun...






I'm such a picture whore!


On another note I got my XM tuner installed last night too. It's good to have it back, I missed it.

 

yes you are!! looking great!

now, about that exhaust tip....

 

Thanks Diego!

Meh, I'm not worried about that... The tailpipe might need to be changed depending on what type of lift I do. If I do a shackle boost in the rear I'll need to move it over anyway. Otherwise it will hit the rear shackle when the rear end flexes.

 

Yeah, I like those wheels, they make your Cherokee look beefier than with those stock wheels

 

when you lift it you're going to ditch the rear sway bar.

the brackets used to attach the end links to the leaf plates are prefect for bar pin eliminators.

 

Looking good... Rusty must be jealous...

 

possibly rusting over in jealousy.

 

definitely looks better with those wheels. and look at that flex!!

 

at Rusty comments!

Rusty was sitting at the dealership since I got teh Jeep till just now. I left it there to rot... Actually, it's getting a for sale sign and a craigslist add here within the next couple of days.

deke, yeah, I plan to lose the sway bars all together here pretty soon. :wink:

 

Keep those end link connectors. Save you a few bucks. If you plan on streeting it at all I would suggest keeping the front one.

 

For shame... Rusty could probably find a loving caring owner over here on the east coast... Not many of those old K5's left around here...

How much for shipping to 02777 ??

 

looks great brutha. Im not going to whine today about my lack of Jeep, though I am still thinking about it.

 

$925.00 via DAS.

 

Couple of different sites I day dream on.....

I've done most of these trails with my Dad. Did Black Bear last time, about a year ago in a rental..shhhhhhhhhhh

Odd how all my attention has suddenly been wrapped around Jeeps after L. Helmet got his. I always knew I would get another one after I sold my first.

 

I hated not having mirrors with the doors off, so I got these mirror relocation brackets. Do they look stupid?




I'm not crazy about em...I think they might look better with some old school steel mirrors instead of these bulky plastic things.

 

I don't think they are bad. I thought they made brackets that bolt to the same place your lights are bolted to?

 

They have some aftermarket CJ style mirrors that bolt on where my lights are. I need to find some that I can mount on these lower brackets though.

 

Humm, have you searched for pics on the jeepforums to get any ideas? Thats how I came to the conclusion on getting the Ravines instead of the Canyons.

I still don't think they look bad though.

 

someone just replied to my post at jeepforum...they have these



I like this look a lot better...waiting to see if this guy can remember where he got em from
