05 Flame Red TJ Build

As per that bolt on the rear frame trackbar mount, it will hit the spring in stock location, so I flipped it awhile back. I remove the frame side often bc that’s the end for adjustment in the Core 4x4 bar. If I relocate the uppers, I may still be able to get a wrench on it.

Your relocation looks good. I’m tempted to just go straight outboard. Don’t know why I’d relocate unless I plan to stay there.

Does outboarding your shocks affect how or where you would mount the upper spring bucket? I'm asking since when I did mine it was with the AiRock and so I don't know if it makes a difference with the coil springs.

The coils don't move in an outboard job. You really should relocate the perches to get them lined up better.

Here is Josh's setup...

I’m like laughing my head off right now. I’m so tired I can’t think straight, I guess, and I’m not thinking coil-overs, so I don’t know what I was thinking, but yeah, outboard the shocks, and on the way, relocate the perches. It all needs to be done. Sorry. After all these years that’s a big faux-pas.

Ok I wasn't thinking you were ready to go that far yet. And since you'd just bought the new Fox shocks I wasn't thinking about outboarding just moving the spring buckets.

I’d be happy with relocating the upper spring buckets. Here’s a Dorman for $73/side

You don't have to spend that money unless you want them. As I said I have mine sitting here not being used and of course there isn't anything that says we won't be able to reuse yours either.

Let's just get this over with.

That would be great ! We just need to get your Jeep done so we can get to mine!

These pics are on 33’s. I’d like bigger tires and longer shocks. Don’t miss out on the hot chick!

 

[NashvilleTJ]

The chick is clearly hot, JMT. What’s not so clear is how she wound up with you!



Kidding aside, the rig looks great.

That’s a great question. How, how, how did she end up with me? The answer deserves its own thread.

Looks like she’s secretly giving you the finger

Why is the Jounce on the front not aligned with the bumpstops? Is it just funky angles you get in at times? When I was looking at it it looked like if the spring compressed another 2” it would completely miss

I took the pic when I was articulated like this.

It's because you're using hockey pucks and not a Savvy/Currie product. https://savvyoffroad.com/product/ce-9122f/

Now that’s funny. What’s funnier is I clicked on the link.

@DrDmoney, remember the video of the Rockpile I was going over and I was lurching and you saw that and offered me the 4:1 TeraLow? Well, I went over the rockpile again last night. I literally went through in less than 30 seconds and didn’t even stop. That 4:1 is awesome in the rocks. Thank you again!

Where is the video? No video and it didn't happen....

We could do yours in the driveway or in the other bay. Just have to move some stuff around.
