Jdofmemi Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Been slow on updates. Last weekend Dennis and I spent about 26 hours grinding away and by Sunday night, we were able to drive Vengeance out of the driveway under its own power. A lot to wrap up, and I will add details to this later, but it was encouraging that it started, goes forward and backwards, and the transmission shifts even without ANY wheel speed sensors. We have to wire tail lights, and a laundry list of other details. New windshield is scheduled for Friday! Did I mention Damn! it's tall! Seats are great, cage is great, cargo area is great, and no more giant hole! Can't wait to test out all we did. 3 2 1 Link to comment

Laundry list of items 1. on the laundry list of items is brakes!! we don’t need brakes because brakes are only for people that want to stop!! so why even put that on the list?? 2. paint front bumper, why?!? Jerry is just gonna drag it all over rocks so why even care if there’s paint on the front bumper? 3. install winch, yeah definitely install winch look who’s driving!! 4. gas tank vent line yeah!! reason why the Jeep has a gas tank vent line is in case Jerry wants to drive this thing upside down!! 5. Rear tail lights, well if you’re not planning on stopping, then you don’t need rear tail lights. 6. finish tailgate, OK!! I need to finish the tailgate. He’s got to keep his tools in the Jeep. He’s gotta fix my jeep when I break down. 7. Install fire extinguisher bracket and fire extinguisher, YES!! well just in case we forget something in the wiring, or fuel lines and we might want to put out the fire. 8. readjust coilovers, yes we need to readjust the coilovers!!! we want to try to lower the Jeep!!!! We spent eight months trying to raise the Jeep now we want to lower it. yeah, just a little Laundry list of items!! 3 Link to comment

If I ever change my front bumper to a aftermarket front bumper, it will definitely be the Krash fab front bumper that’s on Vengeance. 1 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Vengeance at Sand Hollow! The work Dennis and I did to this Jeep have made it perform amazing! Even though it is much higher than before, it feels stable and planted. The clearance is working out great, and I have not high centered on anything yet. The spring rates are working, steering is better than ever, and it finally has proper bumps, instead of the axle crashing into the frame. The biggest problems are a bad brake booster, and a few electrical gremlins. That said, on to some action. 5 Link to comment

Jdofmemi Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Did a day trip on Holcomb Creek and Dishpan Saturday. Not too many pictures, but Vengeance did great, both on the highway there and back as well as the trail. Front locker had zero issues this trip. 4 Link to comment
