What are some of the mods you are working on?

[JoshC]

I just wanted to start this thread to see what kind of mods the rest of you are working on. Maybe it could give some of us some ideas.

Right now i'm working on installing my on board air compressor and rigging up some small tanks. I also painted my wheels. I have some of the cheapo steel wheels that i have my mud tires on and i roughed them up last night and primed them and painted them gloss black. They didn't look right at all on my truck when they were gray and some people told me to paint them cause it would look better, so i did!

I'll get some pictures tonight of everything i am doing. If you can posts some pictures that would be cool too. Thanks.

Happy trails!!

Cory,

Did the 4 door wheelbase not suit your needs? What does the new wheelbase sit at with the rear forward 15"?


Here are my current projects, in this order:

1. Install D35 TTB carrier, equipped with 4.10's and ARB, install ARB control relay, switch, and airline
2. Convert AC compressor to on board air setup for ARB, tires, and tools with 2-5 gal tank (still researching)
3. install Skyjacker 4" rear leafs (ditch my 3" block and ad a leafs)
4. Fit Autofab 3" glass fenders (and paint)
5. Mount 33x12.5 mudders on black mods
6. Flare rear 1/4 panels to clear 33's and match front fenders
7. Tap new thread on pass side tranny mount (aluminum tranny has slightly stripped threads, needs to be tapped and new bolt installed

Thats about it for now!

Winter projects:
A. Custom center console with gage pod and cooler.
B. Carpet kit
C. New tailgate with beefed up tire carrier and lift up/removable glass, wiper and washer, and 3rd brake light (no defrost unless I can figure that out!)
D. Start buildup of new OHV 4.0L

Next year she will be getting fresh body work and paint
Also Sunroof and removable side glass.

Stock wheel base for a 4-door is 111." When I built my rig, I pushed the front axle forward and the rear axle back so that my wheelbase is now 122". I want to be around 107" of wheelbase, so the rear axle will come forward 15" or so.

 

[Digger196]

skid plates, tires, and replace the stock shocks w/ Rancho 5000.

 

[Doug]

Heh I wish i could be doing some mods instead im fixing broken and worn things. Let's see here

Did upper and lower Balljoints
Need all new shocks
Something is messed up in either the T-case front drive shaft for front axle.
Bunch of stupid little things here and there.
The things i have planned for the immeadiate future as soon as i have the 4wheel drive fixed are as follows
Get front axle and rear gears (coutesy Lizardtrac )
Get rims for my 33s
get a body lift
build bumpers once i get some decent C-channel
Install or build the above.

 

[Positive Vibes]

Convert AC compressor to air compressor so I can fill my custom bumper/air tank.

Install Detroit EZ Locker that I bought from a very nice gentleman on this site.

 

[JoshC]

Good Lord, i never thought i would have this kind of a response. Sounds like some cool plans. How hard is it to convert the AC compressor over? I've thought about that before, but i just opt for the little compressor.

Cory, are you ever happy!! haha

Jefe, where are going to mount the tray for the second battery?

Doug, sounds like you have your hands full buddy!

David, any luck on the skid plates yet?

Chris, that is pretty nice setup, have you pulled from it yet to see how tough it is?

Yomie, made it into the shop yet?

410, sounds like you have your hands full also, yours isn't a DD is it?

Ryan, your board name kind of goes the opposite way of your plans, that is funny, good luck!

Magic, what kind of an idea do you have for the exhaust?

Alto, yeah i hear you about the lazy part, there is always something to do or that you want to do!

Happy trails!!
