mmmmmmkay, there are quite a few so lemme get them all up before you start makin fun of me :flipoff2:

rear springs

fuel cell

shackle reversal

All that work and you still got a pink cage?:flipoff2:


Ya know, the Rubicon Rack went out of style about 5 years ago...:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

jk..looks...well, it just looks!:p

rear cage

have done cut fenders

Cant really see it cause it was dark, but the front sits a good 2 inches lower than the rear. Gonna see how it sits loaded up and if it isnt level I will go 44044 in the front. Last one :beer:

Still got lots of work to do, clean up the welds and paint everything. Also Joel, I am losing the pink cage :flipoff2: Just havent decided on a color yet.

Paint the cage :rainbow: :flipoff2:

Just fawken witcha...but those front spring hangers do look awfully familiar!:D


In all honesty, Phil seems to do very nice work..

Keith, I vote for a lime green or sherbert orange cage. May as well keep with the theme.:jeep2:

Actually I am leaning towards black right now. Lime green I dont like and I know my wife would never go for orange ;)

what about barney purple with lime green rockers...............:D

Keith, I used black Hammer paint, it winds up looking kinda like a charcoal color....looks great and holds up to a pretty good beating.

Keith, those ammo boxes welded or bolted down? I'd appreciate a closer pic or 2. I'v been wanting to put mine outside so i dont have to dig for em when needed.

Lookin good. :beer:

they are welded. I can take some close ups next week, on my way outta town today :)

i say go orange!

I think you need to pry that 4.0L emblem off and put on a 4.2L.

Chris, nice Jeep same color as a friend of mine's scrambler. One thing though get your F@#$@#%! hands off the rollbar :flipoff2: . I don't want to see you lose a few fingers. It's hard to drink :beer: without em. Ok

Keith, what did you use for mounts for your tire carrier. We've rigged up some trailer spindles to hold the pivot end that work well.

pry? :laughing: try razorblade or a fingernail, its a damn sticker
keith, bring it by the shop we will make it look cool:D

Leave the cage the way it is it speaks a lot about your innerself:flipoff2: If somebody makes fun of it keep it screw 'em, nobody likes to be shown up on the trail by the guy with the pink cage

OK.....


Dorfs :flipoff2: Hopefully it will be a V8 sticker shortly

Chrisjeep.....Just dont like orange :( Sweet Jeep though man

Brad....I need a trailer to get it there :(

Moveaside...since you havent been here long enough, I will cut you some slack :flipoff2: The pink thing is a joke around here, its actually safety red, just my digi cam makes it look fawkin pink. And I wanna paint it cause I am tired of the red and my clone can have it for now ;)

lookin good. i might have to ride with you on the 6th if you got an open seat;)

I fwe pack right you can rid ein the back seat :flipoff2: Deb is goin that trip as well. No worky worky on the Dodge motor?

it cranked over yesterday but i think it has timing issues. gonna check it out tonight. unbolting the suspension tomorrow so it should be lifted by next weekend. then i have to deal with registration.............................:rolleyes : might have to tow it up there:D

hahaha :D those pics look like ass :D oh well. basically keith has no $$$$ so I have no paint or grinding and polishing skills for him :D function w/ out form is still cool right NOT lol

Nice trail rack- painted or not!

It'll look good, dont worry ;) Just gotta find the time to work on it more.

Here is a daylight pic. My concern is the rake, although with gear etc I think the rear will sit down a lot. I cant decide if I wanna take out the overload on the F150's or put 44044's up front, or even just add a leeaf the front. :confused:

Just get two fat guys in the back and take a look at her. Two fat guys are always good at simulating a loaded Jeep :D If it still sits high then get a couple 44044 packs.

I didn't run the overload and mine sat perfect and still carried all the laod. I put the overload back in to run 44's!

anyways I would have taken it out but keith doesn't like to listen to me LOL :D

Yeah, but gear hanging way out on that rack will affect your suspension differently than two fat guys in the back seat, I'd cut one of the fat guys in half and put half on the rear rack with the remaining 1-1/2 fat guys in the back seat. Possibly quarter one fat guy and distribute to simulate your normal trail load, or, just put your trail gear in and use that to simulate two fat guys in the back.

ahahhahahah beautiful logic :D

Nice :laughing: Phil and my brother hung off the back rack and it seemed to sit almost level, so I am gonna do a run or two how it is and see how she does, then adjust from there. I figure with 200+ lbs of tools and spare parts, plus 100 lbs of food, camping ger, etc, plus my usual 372 lbs of beer ;) It should sit nicely

looks really good keith and silly. I want one :)
