Nothing new added to the jeep lately but hopefully this time next year when I go on vacation to Colorado I'll be taking my jeep with me and making a visit to Trail Jeeps for some upgrading. So far the things on my list are...
- C gussets welded on
- Upgrade the axle shafts
- Regear to 4.88, maybe 5.13
- 37" Nitto Trail Grapples
- 17" KMC Machete wheels
- Dynatrac Ball Joints
- Warn Zeon winch
- And maybe change my front bumper to the Evo quarter pounder w/ stinger but not sure on that one.
I'm thinking this should be enough to handle when I upgrade to 37s but if there's anything that I should also consider upgrading let me know. Any insight is much appreciated!

New front driveshaft may be in order so you don't rub.

Haven't posted up on here in awhile. Jeeps been at a stand still as far as upgrades but that all changed today. And in August some big changes will be happening so stay tuned as the Jeep will be heading out to Trail Jeeps to get some work done.
I'll be out in the Golden area for a week while my jeeps getting worked on so I'd love to meet up with anyone and see what Colorado has to offer.

Interesting design with the extra drain on the cover

Guess it'll help make changing the fluid easier without taking the cover off but it should be taken off anyway to inspect the gears right?
I was amazed at how heavy it is. I've never held one before and it makes the factory one look like a piece of paper lol

To go along with my AEV tire carrier I'll have to do some modification to it.

Few pictures of the upgrades that Trail Jeeps did.
Love the MCE narrows
Rcv axle shafts, Evo C gusset, and Dynatrac heavy duty ball joints
Kmc machete wheels (paint matched) and 37" nittos
Trail Jeeps did an amazing job and were extremely easy to work with. I'll be taking my jeep back out there for whatever future upgrades will be next.
