I had Wednesday off yesterday, so I started on the suspension. Got the crossmember welded/bolted on nice and securely, then installed the passgeger side upper and lower arms before running out of time. I plan to have the front mostly finished tommorow ( I have Friday off) and will post pictures...

I am temporarily taking over this thread again to show my last few pictures... Hi-Jack on! (Just kidding J, please feel free to continue the discussion, you have been giving me great ideas... I mean... a dish drying rack is genious!) My box grew legs yesterday! I got the folding leg set in...

Yeah... and the Formula One car aint bad either. Holy cow. How insane would it be to open your garage and have genuine F1 car sitting there.... Good stuff Anil, I enjoyed the read on the NSX forum. ~James

Ok, yeah, I do remember that now... I dont have a problem in that area because my panel comes out flush with the outer dash panel giving me a couple more inches. Yes, you will definitely have to close up the hole somehow. when I cut behind my screen there was zero air flow out of the vents...

John, I am a little confused, are you talking about you had to cut behind where I have my rocker switches mounted, or did you have to cut behind where my monitor screen is mounted? If you are talking about behing my rocker switches, there is nothing behind there on my jeep. Its a big hole and...

The wife picked this stuff up for me today at the post office. I have about 80% of the suspension stuff in now! I am still waiting on the trackbar from Claytons, and the SYE and CV drive shaft from Tom Woods, then I will be ready to start work. Nice welds on this stuff, maybe one day mine...

Ok, new price. 100 bucks plus shipping. This is for ONE new tire and slightly used wheel. Surely I am not the only one who was running this combo? ~James

Thanks guys! The suspension parts are starting to trickle in. I picked these up from the post office today! Hopefully that means everything else will be here int he next couple of days. Billstein 5125's (mmm..... Newcastle) These things are big. The one on the right is off of my tacoma...

Green with envy huh? You were right dude, I think these will do just fine in Frances finest muddy trails... I am commandeering your "Teal J" reference also, it has a nice ring to it. Actually, I saw another guy today while mounting the tires who had the exact same year and model, but it was a...

Teal J has new shoes. Got the wheels, tires, and center caps in today from Summit. Stopped by the local auto hobby shop on the base and mounted them up and balanced them myself. One of the tires kicked my butt getting the bead to seat, but I managed to get it done after a bit of sweating and...

Good luck with that, I live in Germany now and couldnt get much response for shipping it over here. So.... I made my own. If I can get a long arm suspension and 5 tires and wheels shipped over here, I am pretty sure it can be done, just not sure if there is enough ambition for them to do and...

I have a brand new Cooper STT 31 x 10.50 R15 tire mounted on a used, but in great shape, 6 lug tacoma alloy wheel. The wheel has been primed and painted with a semi flat black paint, and doesnt have a scratch on it. It also comes with a genuine Toyota center cap. The tire has never touch the...

I think quite a few expo members would be interested, ive gotten a few PM's from folks interested or asking questions. It would probably make a great side job, but not something I would want to depend on for cash flow. At least not until the name got out. If he could do custom build stuff, I am...

Thanks guys, yeah Vince, I was busy after you left Sunday! Just got off the phone with the Clayton Off Road boys, and ordered a SYE and Tom Woods Drive shaft. This means the Jeep will be out of commision for a couple weeks while I install the lift and get a measurement to Tom for the drive...

Momrocks, I have 4 casters on each side, roughly 12 inches apart. It stays straight, and rolls easily, but I dont like the "permanentness" (word?) of leaving the tracks in the jeep, nor always having rollers mounted on the bottom of the kitchen. Once I installed the tracks, I pretty much knew I...

Photog and lostworldexpedition, thanks for the compliments. As I wrote in the last posting, I am not sure yet on how I will use this. My initial plan was to install tracks into the jeep, and this would roll out like the original Drifta kitchens do. I would have normally put one set of legs on...

Kitchen update Well, my last day of a 4 day mini vacation resulted in me finishing the kitchen. I decided to go with a teak colored sealer, and I think it turned out really good overall. I am still debating on what to do as far as mounting it in the jeep or just keep it as a stand alone by...

Well, my last day of a 4 day mini vacation resulted in me finishing the kitchen. I decided to go with a teak colored sealer, and I think it turned out really good overall. I am still debating on what to do as far as mounting it in the jeep or just keep it as a stand alone by adding legs on...

Hey John, it is the 6.5" kit. They guys at clayton told me this set-up could be used with anything from 4" of lift all the way up to 8.5" depending on which springs I choose. The kit I ordered is the 6.5 kit though. I figure with the weight that I will have on the jeep with armor and camping...

Ok, its dark out, and the lights work fantastic. I really wish I had done something like this sooner. Its hard to describe, the light is very easy on the eyes, but its also really bright. Worth every penny (or euro in my case) if you ask me! I forgot to mention, but all I did was splice it into...
