nice rig, curious to see what you come up with. I hate lifting my 37s, I must be getting old.

For what its worth. I run 37s with Synergy 1" springs on my JKU. I have a fairly light rig and they netted me more like 3" or more of lift. I tried their 3" springs and was way to tall IMHO and YMMV.

Looks good. Why didn’t I think of that before building a flatbed

Building the diy thuren rear bumper now. I’ve had the parts for a couple years, finally got to it.

spare under the bed and a tiregate in place of the tailgate. The tiregate will b e bit in the way and I assume there will be enough space to bolt it in where the tailgate use to be.

not a fan of mixing the small particles that can impact your health. but mostly time as well

not a fan of mixing the glass/ceramic balls into standard paint, the diy method. Its like 79 bucks for a gallon, not a show stopper price IMHO. It does take 24 hours between coats, that is the main issue to me, time.

Lizard skin, I have it on the floor of the Jeep B-quiet, inside the door panels of the jeep Both combined did a good job of reducing road noise and heat. I done run any carpet.

nice

That look great, good work My front fenders should arrive before the end of the month, I went flat bed out back. Not sure which would of took longer. Hoping it all looks good together.

I would think the side doors could add ventilation, but I doubt it is needed. Getting things in and out of the bed from there seems a bit cumbersome if not doable at all. Not that I have used one before. I would skip them and put the money towards an awning, that you are going to get any...

looking good

tempting on the fenders, thanks for that update. enjoying the build as well

Fun build, starting my flatbed soon as well. Thanks for the inspiration As for the leds, two options. One just tap into the taillight harness for the running lights. Should be able to find the wire for running, vs turn and brake. Depending on how ford did the lights back the. Option two, tap...

I am moving from my Lorenz front Spring and rear leaf replacements with SAW shocks tuned by lorenz. On the tow pig, 04 diesel long bed dodge. To the same springs and Fox2.5RR shocks. That and rebuild the front suspension. Im rebuilding dynatrac ball joints, after about 30K miles. Then...

great progress, looking great.

The math on building a bed has been done time and time again. Analysis Paralysis in simple terms. The bed is off now while I rebuild the suspension of the truck. SO thinking its time to just do it. On the height topic, to get a completely flat bed, I need to be about 6" above the frame...

looking at flatbed options now as well. having a hard time justifying 10K or more for a flatbed. I have found a couple cheaper options, but of course not with all the fancy under bed boxes. Contemplating building one myself instead. Interested to hear about these from users.

counter question, is there a need? I have my 3rd gen torn down now for some long needed maintenance work. Not sure I see that much venerable based on not rock crawling it like a jeep. Ill do more looking this weekend as I get back to it. If not real need, I can see no one making skids. I...

I have a 33 Degree Engineering belly up on the TJR, they went out of business. It is great, small compact and the skid and cross member are separate. I can remove the skid and the transmission crossmember stays in place. Trying to decide on what to go with on the 05 LJR, I may make a copy...
