'02 WJ.. Some stuff done, lots to come!

[206WJ]

Hi everyone! Just joined with my '02 WJ. Guess I will tell you a bit about it.

Started as a Loredo with the 4.7L V8, and NV242. I did upgrade to heated leather too. Had to order it like that.

Over the years I have added and changed lots.

Started with a lift, and it has evolved to a bit over 3" right now. I am working on a long arm setup. Currently it's OME HD shocks and springs with added spacers to bring it up a bit after all the heavy goodies I put on there. I'm running 255/75/17 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's right now.

Next was some armor, ARB Bull Bar in front with a WARN 9.5xp and Masterpull synthetic line, Piaa 550's, rail sliders, and a custom rear bumper with drop down tire carrier and piaa 510's in it.

Then was engine work. Have tried a few different exhaust systems and liked the Gibson, but it went out on a rock so now I have a Flowlesser super 40. Did a HO cam and spring swap on it. K&N intake, switched everything to Royal Purple, and love using the NGK platinum plugs. They always run well in mopars.

Recently added a ARB Air locker in the front dana 30 since I already had a Viair OBA kit.


I'm sure there is more, but it you have and questions, comments, or just want to bash it for being a WJ feel free! :shakin:

Heres a couple picks of the progression.

Nice setup! Any more pics of the rear bumper?

No WJ bashing from me...but there is an awful lot of drooling over it from me! :Wow1:

 

[206WJ]

Thanks guys. I do have more pics of the rear, I just don't have them on my phone. I will post them shortly.

On the good note I got my front long arms finished, and I ordered my 33's. Heard back from bushwhacker, and I may be another test mule for their flares.

Man...I want a rear bumper like that. I have a spare tire carrier, but it's a trailer hitch carrier, and now I have no rear recovery points. But I also do not want to carry my spare on the roof any more either.

Not sure what you want to see, but here ya go...

It's a great piece to have. I find myself using the shackles more than I thought I would to help with recoveries. It's also great having the extra lights mounted in the back when out in the woods. The only thing I am going to change is to add an actuator to motorize the action of the drop down portion.

Sometimes I do still have a spare on the top too, for long trips I carry 2.

Nice WJ! I've been trying to convince my wife that she needs one of these so I can build a decent overland rig...

Thanks! Good ole Bremerton I'll be out there next week.

I'm sure you can convince her... If you convinced her to get married this should be easy! jk

They are a great platform. There's a ton of them, and you can get them pretty cheap here in the NW.

Small updates...

Got my bushwhacker flares on, went from the 255/75/17's to 285/70/17's. Installed new LED rock lights. Received a ton more parts mostly for lift (LA's and stuff) just no time to install. Changed axle seal, installed HO Cams.... There's probably a bit more, but I cant think of it all at the moment!

Does Bushwacker need any more "test mules"???? Send 'em my way!
