I've got new Toyo M/T 33's on there now. When my wallet recovers from this session of upgrades I want to go to 35's with 488 gears and chrome molly axles.

BTW, that's the 1st time G has applied the Jeep Cool Coat to a brand new Bestop soft top. It will be interesting to see how it holds up... d :rolleyes:

I had to run through two short rain showers on the way home. I just took a look at the top and it looks great. Only bad thing is it's soooooo white it almost burns your retenas to look at it in the bright sun light. :eek::cool::D

I did some mods on Maddog's Jeep. Here are a few pictures:

 

Installed rear spring relocation brackets:

I didn't only use the clamps and bolts that came with the kit, I also welded it to the frame for extra strength and painted it to match:

I also installed rear shock relocation mounts and made some skids for them:

I also installed a dual-battery set-up using ****ty Built dual battery trays. The bottom tray fit great and the battery fell right into place. The top plate teeter-tottered on top of the lower battery. I had to cut holes in the top plate to make it fit.

Then I had to notch out for the battery terminals. Finally I got it seated in the proper position.

Then I found that the little guide tubes were in the wrong place, so I cut and re-welded them. I also had to drill them out a little to get the bolt through, huge PITA!

I also went through the whole Jeep; I found some loose bolts on the new suspension and tightened them up. I installed front tube seals. And I also mounted and wired his new Extreme Air System.

 

You're ready to go Maddog!!

Looks like it was a bad bearing in the torque converter.
