AJK Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Purchased new in Nov 2017 with the intention of doing a 3-inch lift on 35's and leaving it be. Boy was I wrong. Day1 This was after the lift and 35's. I told myself I was done.... After breaking my front axle I decided to go with 37s, PR44. and wrapped the rig in Evo products. That lasted maybe a year. After twisting up my rear axle I decided to upgrade to UD60s, 40inch Nitto tires, KMC wheels, PSC steering, Hardrock4x4 cage, Evo long arms, Bestop NX soft top, all Synergy steering, and Genright aluminum front bumper and tire carrier. Right now, I really love the way the jeep is working but you know, you're never really done. To be continued..... 6 1 Link to comment
JKBrick Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Looks great! I’d like UD60s Link to comment
BHaner Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Nice! It is funny that a bunch of us all got Jeeps at about the same time and didn’t even know each other. 3 Link to comment
KevinG Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I didn't know that you got the genright bumper and tire carrier. Geez we really are twins! 1 Link to comment

Yeah after Trails Hero and talking with the Genright crew and seeing the difference in clearance and weight, I switched. Super happy. Link to comment
KevinG Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yeah I loved the Evo quarter pounder and rear facia for a long time, but wanted a switch. Since I already had the tire carrier and had just gotten the GR corners, I just kind said "eff it". Can't believe how light they are. 1 Link to comment
Weebz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Do the biggest question is when do you fall into rabbit hole with Jerry and go all out? You know you are not done. Link to comment

AJK Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 So the last two times I went out I got twisted up enough where I peeled the antenna mounting tabs on the EVO skins and figured enough's enough. I intended to just a cut it off but then that will leave a huge gaping hole so I started grinding without a plan and this happened. Letting the steel cool down from the welding and grinding and I'll prep and paint. 1 3 Link to comment
Weebz Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Looks great. Now you need a new flag mounting post. Link to comment

fiend Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I would have burned a hole through my soft top doing that. EDIT: never mind. No I see you had the top off. Nice work. Link to comment
AJK Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Well shit. Should I just keep as spare and rotate the other four? Link to comment

If it isn't leaking and didn't cut the bead I would just run it. I have some chunks like that out of mine. Normally the rubber is extra thick right there so it doesn't really hurt them. 1 2 Link to comment
Weebz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I have several chunks like that as well. Never made a difference so far. 1 1 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I wouldn't worry about that. Just a surface abrasion. Run it if it's not leaking. 1 1 Link to comment
Redline Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Run it! It’s just a flesh wound 1 1 1 Link to comment
Dave Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 That doesn't look bad. I wouldn't bat an eye about it. I've been running this for a year. 1 Link to comment
