What was done to your rig this week?

[olram30]

Thx, EVO MFG JK Draglink Flip Kit

nice set up, are you going to move the steering stabilizer up? doesn't the evo bracket have a hole to move it?

Drivers side rear spring.

I thought those metal cloak springs had "virtual buckets" so they wouldn't unseat?

 

[rumble]

Virtual buckets?????

NO SHIT! I was not an opponent OR proponent of this product but was intrigued by their marketing of extreme droop without the risk of unseating the coils and maintaining a low ride height.

Does this mean that prolonged over compression of the "virtual bucket" causes it to loose its ability to stretch and maintain its seating?

 

[StrizzyChris]

Virtual buckets?????

It appears you are running the metal cloak...coils is it not?

 

[olram30]

Virtual buckets?????

Yeah, I think that's what they called them. Extra coils at the top to prevent coil unseating. Is that the game changer lite? Arb one?

All I know is I'm gonna have to keep a closer eye on this particular problem to insure it doesn't happen a second time. I'll be damned if it does......

Were you just daily driving or wheeling? Just curious, these springs are fairly new and I always wondered how they would hold up.

Changed the air filter, 10 months on the old one...

How was the install on the exhaust? I plan to get that one also .

Honestly not sure when thi happened or how long ago??? Could've been an install issue? I don't know honestly. Like I said, I'll be keeping an close eye on it for sure

Install was easy. Old exhaust came out relatively easy. I hit all the points with wd40 a few hours prior to the install so that may have helped a tad.

Most likely install error. If the isolator is installed correctly it wouldn't come out like it did. It would be all mangled and out of whack.

Busy week I finally got all the right ball joints and got them in (FML that sucked)

Then i dropped my jeep off at the body shop to have this fixed should be getting it back Saturday

Andddd we finished my friends LJ front coilovers

That's what I was thinking as well

 

[GR8WHITE]

Installed a cb in my new rig.

Looks like a job well done! Funny you say that we have an 8 week old and it took me about 10 days to install my 1/4 pounder. Should have been a few hour job

Finally got to do the sway bar mount relocation. I'm learning now it's not going to be easy to do things with a newborn. Baby duty first, but got to squeeze this in today. It was pretty easy thx to the help I got on the forum. :thumbup:

I thought it would get better when my daughter got older because she likes to help- but now we have a 7 mo. Old boy, and a 3 year old girl , who when she "helps daddy" somehow it makes things take twice as long. "Ella, where did you put my bolts??" But I love every minute of her help.


My ride- 2001 power wheel, 11" plastic tires, upgraded battery, boat sides, custom bumpers, tow hooks, new paint.

I did quite a bit this week 1) new shoes, 2) new tube doors, 3) mirrors.
