White Jeep 2.0

[Jdofmemi]

Spent half a day today on the White Jeep. 

Made a bit of progress. The cage is mostly in. 

Because I saved some money with one that had some flaws, there is still some work to do on it. 4 plates to adjust the location of the 4 rear mounts will take care of it. 

 

Had to use Vengeance to drag White Jeep out and back in.

Nice to see its progressing? Did you get another cage? Or is that the same one I helped a little with?

I got a fully welded one, the other one is going to get modified to go in Vengeance.

It was handy for sure, especially since there wasn't any help around. 

 

My schedule is whacked, so it's hard to find time to get anything done.

Looking a little naked... But progress looks good!

I agree, it sure looks funny on the stock tire and wheel combo.

Going to Texas in April. 

Should be back maybe end of May, with possibly some assembly still required for accessories. 

[Jdofmemi]

Well, this box of goodness showed up today. 

 

Many thanks to our forum sponsor Matt. 

 

I originally ordered the Atlas for Vengeance, but decided to change it to be configured for White Jeep instead, so it can go in at the same time as the V-8. 

 

I got a 3:1 ratio, as the low gearing in the 10 speed means I don't need to be so low and slow in the T-case.

Noice.

 

How long from order to delivery?

[AJK]

Nice! Thats sounds like a good plan putting her in the white jeep.

I ordered it Dec 1st, so a little over 14 weeks 

[Jdofmemi]

Seats are in hand. 

 

Yes, they are 2 different models. 

One that I am comfortable in, and one Kristi is comfortable with.

Very nice Jerry!

You are correct.

 

Kristi gets the Enduro Elite, reclining, with heat. She was the most comfortable in that one when we went to try them out on display. 

 

I wanted more side bolstering than it provides, but not so high it's a PITA to get in and out of. 

That, as well as my short stumpy legs, I felt most comfortable in the GT-3, which is really made for the side by side market, but it fits me well, so I went with it. 

 

Now, to get the damn Jeep together. 

 

Bubba has me pushed back to June 5th. 

 

With me working out of town, I am not making much progress, and will probably end up having him do even more to get it finished. 

[Weebz]

Damn.  Sorry to hear the time Line is slipping.  Patience though.   I never got a chance to try the GT3.  Curious to see how they feel.  I absolutely love the side bolstering but mine are a little tough to get in and out of.

Watching you get in and out was part of my reasoning for these. 

 

I wish I could have gotten it finished in time for Colorado, but there's always next year. 

 

At least I have a Jeep to go with. 

[AJK]

Are those the 4.3 PRP harness? I have both the 4.2 and 4.3 stiting in my garage and cant decide which ones to keep.  The 4.2 feels to small, and the 4.3 feels to think LOL.

[Jdofmemi]

They are the 5.3. 

 

I have 2" in Vengeance, and went with the thicker 3" for better support and comfort. 

 

I got the 5 point, though will probably only ever use 4 unless I go racing. 

[AJK]

Dang, i was really looking foward to seeing the white Jeep in action. Sounds like thats not gonna happen.

 

Good choice on the seats.
