Gruff JK

[Gruff]

Wow, Gruff JK sure has come a long way. Been through several stages. These are just a few of the highlights.

 

 

[fiend]

Such an evolution. Looks good!

[Gruff]

Thanks! One more on the way 

[AJK]

I love this rig! Glad you are here Jerry!

[Gruff]

Thanks! Glad to be here!

[Jetlau3]

have always loved your build.  Thanks for the fenders!  Few more dents now but still holding strong

[Jdofmemi]

Nice Jerry!

 

Wasn't Gruff cute when he was little

 

Glad to see him grown up. 

[JKBrick]

I met you at 3.0 but those half doors are the shit

[wjtstudios]

So when are we going to see some pictures of the progress??

[ManinBlack]

Still definitely one of my favorite Jeeps 

[Gruff]

Well, not as far as Jeff but it's stripped down as far as I can go before it goes into the shop this week or next. Parts are all here except for the axles. Those should be here this week.

Did you cut the storage space out Jerry?

[Gruff]

Not yet. I placed it with the intention of cutting it out yesterday but it was too damn cold.  

[Weebz]

Get me good pics of whet

you cut.    I will let you be the tester.  

[Gruff]

Lol will do. Hope it gets back into the 40s 

[Weebz]

Buck up.   It’s not bad once you are moving.  Just don’t stop then.  It hurts real bad.

Yep, same guy. Funny, he gets as excited about doing this stuff as I do. I took one of the TMR joints down and he practically slobbered over it.

What needs to be change to add just the rear fuel tank. I would like to get a slightly bigger tank but want to know what else this details?

If you were just going t do the tank, really the only thing I think you'd have to do is change your sway bar out to the Currie one from Genright. They make special arms 

for it. The tank has a recess that the torsion bar runs in. Also exhaust, but you're already dumping ahead of the axle right? If so you're set. 

They have 3 tank sizes: 20, 26, and 35 or 36. I went with the 20 for clearance. Pricing, like everything Genright, is retarded. But their stuff is soooo nice.

Also you can look at the Motobilt tanks.  They make a tank relocation kit for stock frames and set ups.   Just another option.  

[Gruff]

I was actually going to see if they had one for stock frame. Good to know. Probably way cheaper too

I bet, it’s not your typical everyday project for him
