I figure its time I post a build on here for all you fawkers to see some shit that's already been done a bunch by other fawkers.

So heres the story I got my jeep about a 3 years ago I had posted an add online about trading my fully built acura integra which made 350 whp on low boost never actually turned it up to see what it would do but anyway a guy with a 96 zj sent me an email and I wasn't looking for one but I fell in love and had to have it so the next weekend he drove down and we traded.

Current specs:
General:Cobra DX19IV CBFireStik II Four Foot CB Antenna

When I first got it I did what everyone does and got a BB and 31s which wasnt enough!!

I realized I needed some sliders and I didnt like anything on the market so I built these.

I then put 33s on it with the BB and a bunch of trimming. I aslo got some bumpers and a EOR cage from a buddy and slapped those on

biggoofy · 06-18-2012, 05:19 PM

Then came 6.5" coils, front long arms, rear adj short arms and stock gears that fucking sucked!!

Heres my wife having some fun wheeling it.

biggoofy · 06-18-2012, 05:32 PM

After I grenaded the lp30 last year I decided I needed to quit dicking around and build up my HP44 and 9' I pulled from the local JY. I called Greg (pissoffflapjack) and had him cut me all the brackets with his fancy torch mate. I was extremely impressed with everything he has sent me!

I got all that done and stuck a Engo E10000s on it and took it out wheeling.

snevey · 06-18-2012, 06:25 PM

Nice, good job.

biggoofy · 06-18-2012, 06:57 PM

Thanks man I just have a few things to wrap up and it will be ready to really beat on.

Here's a few more pics of it.

AgitatedPancake · 06-19-2012, 10:48 AM

Hell yeah man! It was a hell of a project in the making, now lets see how hard you can push it hehe

Thanks for the reps on all the brackets too mang! The front was a bit of an undertaking from a couple thousand miles away

Black sheep fabworx · 06-19-2012, 08:27 PM

Looks good, now its time for a diesel!

biggoofy · 06-22-2012, 04:43 AM

No diesel in the near future the 4.0 still runs great next up it a better t case I'm thinking a twin stick d300

biggoofy · 06-22-2012, 01:22 PM

New rear shock mounts are about wrapped up.

Junior F-Nis · 06-23-2012, 08:02 AM

Nice to see a rig built not bolted. Kudo's...

biggoofy · 06-24-2012, 12:01 PM

Broke a hub today anyone have a good replacement suggestion? I've been looking around and not really finding a whole lot of info on the subject.

xj9140 · 06-24-2012, 12:26 PM

Slugs

biggoofy · 06-24-2012, 12:35 PM

I've thought about that but it still sees some light street use maybe once a week.

I use slugs. So far daily driving I haven't seen any issues. Make sure and keep the spindle bearings greased, joints lubed, and quality oil it the diff. slugs shouldn't be a issue. Not yet anyway.

biggoofy · 06-25-2012, 07:20 PM

Heres a few pics from this weekend.

biggoofy · 06-29-2012, 03:47 PM

New hubs are installed and ready for tomorrow

biggoofy · 07-01-2012, 04:31 PM

Took out the Zj this weekend with a few buddies.

biggoofy · 07-05-2012, 05:56 AM

Headed to georgia to race ECORS at Durham town if ya see us stop by and say hey!!

biggoofy · 09-10-2012, 01:51 PM

Took the Zj out for some wheeling this weekend with some buddies and had a blast. I blew up both of my new mile marker hubs within 15' of each other lol. I made a quick run to the parts store and got them warrantied out then paid the difference for the upgraded ones hopefully these work better. The ones I blew up had 3 trips on them. I just ordered a set of Yukon chromos and a hd diff cover so more to come shortly!

biggoofy · 09-16-2012, 05:10 AM

Went out wheeling today with my buddy Al and his H3 on 40s haha had a good time and on the way home picked up some new yellow tops to replace my dead red tops.

biggoofy · 09-16-2012, 09:55 AM

Few more pics of us on the trails.

biggoofy · 09-17-2012, 05:20 PM

Got a sweet box of parts today from Ironman4x4fab!!! Yukon chromos and Yukon super joints and a ruff stuff diff cover powder coated ironman blue!
