Woodys BII build-ish

[WoodyB2]

well im going to get some 35x12.50's soon...im not going to keep these tires for long at all...

 

[disciplerocks]

Take a tire groover to those. TSLs, especially since they are 36s, will hold their own even when they are damn near bald.

 

[WoodyB2]

Well the only piece left that i need to install everything are 4 shocks...

i dont know what size i need for 3 inch lift...im thinking i may just get the ones from duff and run those...


any ideas?


edit: and rims...

 

[disciplerocks]

I installed my lift then measured the static ride height of my shocks. That gave me an idea of where I wanted them to be ext and compressed.

 

[WoodyB2]

Well now that i have paid my 300 dollar speeding ticket i can now save up for the last pieces for my lift...i think i may just try JD's shocks...but that and rims and i am ready to rock it...

i want to get this step done!!! i dont like seeing my axles lift and tires just sitting in my garage...

 

[WoodyB2]

Well today i decided to relocate my CB antenna...again

here's the outcome:

 

[Grunizzle]

Jeff although I am sure the duff shocks are ok, they are just pretty much a rebranded generic white monotube shock. I have not installed mine yet, but I instantly regretted buying them when they showed up.

 

[WoodyB2]

can you give me the measurements then Grunow?

 

[Grunizzle]

I will have to get a measure the duff shocks but for the rear I bought the 11 inch travel bilstein 5125s

 

[WoodyB2]

thanks grunow...ya id like to get bilsteins but being broke sucks...

 

[meatheaded nucklebuster]

I hear ya on being broke. Im halfway through a SAS and trying to sell my old lift and 33s so I can finish it. It sucks cause it drags it out that much longer and the longer it sits the more you want to do to it. I love your half doors and I like the new cb mounting spot. It might give you bad reception from behind but im sure it will work fine. I have an 8' stainless steel cb antenna from radioshack and it kicks butt. But I need to take it off or fold it down when i go inside garages or fast food lol. Im thinkin Im gonna put it on my back bumper.

thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it.

with the CB the way I see it I usually only use it when Wheeling or too and from the trails...and usually I am not leading on the trails or on the road. But somehow I find that my logic is always flawed.

 

[WoodyB2]

Well finished up the CB today....i ran the cable thru the grille(just to the right of the fmf sticker)

and rolled out my tires to see roughly how its going to look:

Why did you mount the antenna on the front?

 

[WoodyB2]

Why did you mount the antenna on the front?

One, I thought it would be more unique...

Two, I hate it mounted on my mirror(I used to have it there, you can see the old mount in the second pic)

Three, it was mounted on my hood but the hood gap was to narrow and it was rubbing the cable, I tried to adjust it...but I lost that fight

Four, it looks bad ass IMO.

 

[WoodyB2]

oops i double posted it...my bad
