    The Red Dragon Build

    Here is a random shot of the driver side Antirock attachment and Fox bump setup at ride height. A second shot of the front steering components/trackbar at ride height. So far, everything seems to play very nicely when turning, driving, or flexing. When I was looking under the Jeep...

    Any idea what drone he was using?

    Vehicles you don't see on the road anymore

    Some Fox love! Decent little 4 eye still running around. Even rarer, its a Mercury Capri. I don't see many clean Fox Body or SN cars on the road anymore.

    It took me a lot of restraint not to drag this Merc home.

    It just happened!

    All kidding aside, they look great!

    It just happened!

    Smash it and get a decal. :) Less chance of shit getting in between the tub and armor in that location too.

    Any idea where this broken piece of metal came from?

    The block is well ventilated now. That sucks!

    The Red Dragon Build

    Trying to make up for lost wheeling time in 2025, trip number three was planned. This time the TJ was hauled on a trailer to Holy Cross trail. This gave me an opportunity to experiment with my "short haul" tow rig. I left the diesel at home and my 2013 Silverado put in work. When I bought...

    The return home of my second trip showed the pitman arm had loosened again, albeit more slightly this time. It was tightened again as detailed above.

    The Red Dragon Build

    A couple weeks later another trip to Spring Creek was planned. The TJ was driven to the trail, wheeled, and driven back home.

    The Red Dragon Build

    I mentioned this in another thread, but it probably would be well served to do it again. When installing my JK axle, I went with a PSC box and a RockJock (TJ to JK) pitman arm. I checked both the sector shaft and pitman arm for burrs and both seemed to fit up well. When installed, I noticed...

    The Red Dragon Build

    Here is my rendition of the relocated engine skid bracket for the Savvy three link. It is bent out of 1/4" plate and I mounted it on the inside of the frame horn for the engine mount. I wasn't sure how much room I would need and went as high as possible. Being as though the bracket was on the...

    Any idea where this broken piece of metal came from?

    Sure looks like a connecting rod. As TJ Jim said, you might have a new window under the hood.

    The Red Dragon Build

    A few days after the Jeep was completed, it was driven to Spring Creek and put to work. It did well on both the trail and on the road.

    The Red Dragon Build

    I found a close up of the gas filler in red powder. All the fitting and welding was worth it as it blended in pretty well. Its hardware was also swapped to Phillips head. The mirrors as well.

    The Red Dragon Build

    Looking at that last large photo reminded me I swapped the corner lights for the Rigid D-SS lights (better side coverage). The Diode Dynamics were moved to the tire carrier as mentioned above.

    The Red Dragon Build

    The maiden voyage was about 20 minutes to a buddies house for the fork lift test. I didn't die and nothing fell off. Check one and check two. Everything seemed to play well together and there did not appear to be glaring issues that would cause problems going forward.

    The Red Dragon Build

    Looking at pictures I think that pretty much raps up when it rolled out of the shop. I missed my target date by about two months. For whatever reason, one of my favorite parts of the build was the addition of these decals. When I first rolled it in the daylight, the side looked very plain...

    The Red Dragon Build

    Posting the picture of the rear rock lights reminded me I used U-Pol Raptor Liner in Flame Red (UP4868). This was used to coat my rear fender wells and under my corner and side armor.
