    Templar's Build

    One of the major changes more recently was the addition of the Bestop Sunrider for Hartop in Black Twill. It's a product I did not even know about and I don't know if I would have even had it on my long list of items for my Jeep. What happened is Bestop was in Arizona to do a photo shoot for...

    Templar's Build

    I wanted to update that I wound up going through with my original "temporary" plan of doing what Mel did with Evolander and the stock tire carrier. I showed Mel's video to the owner of the local shop that welded my sliders and did my re-gear and he welded a plate to the stock receiver hitch. It...

    Templar's Build

    Some of the little things I did over the past 9 months: Rugged Ridge Dash Multi-Mount Phone Kit: Use it to hold my Note 4, and also use it as a GoPro mount. GoPro HERO Session & Headband Strap: Got this mostly for wheeling. It mounts nicely to the Rugged Dash mount, and I got the head strap...

    Templar's Build

    Brad, Crap you are so right - I can't believe it has been 9 months since I updated my build thread. Time flies and I feel lame for not keeping this thread up. So I guess I should start with the front end changes. I bought a used Warn PowerPlant 9.5 with Warn Spydura Synthetic line. A big THANK...

    New EVO Pro Series Rear Bumper Question

    I installed mine a couple weeks ago. On each side you have 4 bolts (2 are the included 9/16", and 2 are re-used bolts). Then on the bottom in the rear crossmember you have a total of 2 bolts that go into the the nut clips which go into the (2) 7/16" holes you drill.

    Templar's Build

    Worked on it again until 2 AM and finally finished it up. Gave it a much needed wash this morning. I think I am done for a while, until I can afford to buy some more stuff.

    Templar's Build

    Worked on the Jeep last night: - Jeep up on jack stands. - Pulled all 4 wheels. - Pulled the rings. - Mounted the 1 painted ring I did the other day on the spare. The VHT Satin matches perfect as others here stated, way less glossy than the Rustoleum Satin. - Got a new 3/8" bit made for...

    Templar's Build

    Got a delivery today, just in time to represent at a local Jeep meet and greet this Saturday... ORE shirt, 2 hood decals, and they threw in a 2010 and 2011 JKX DVD. :thumb: Can't put the decals on yet - Jeep is at a local shop getting gears.

    Templar's Build

    More progress made yesterday / early this morning. I picked up my stinger from the powder coaters, and then we had a storm here last night that cooled it off big time so I took advantage and worked on the Jeep until about 2 AM this morning. I finished trimming the passenger inner fender. I...

    Templar's Build

    Working on a couple things today. Trimming the inner fenders is first. I have the passenger side done. Have to trim for the MCE Fenders, and then additional trimming for the Coilover. I'm taking my time trying not to cut too much. Before: After: Trimmed up piece:

    Templar's Build

    All done. The swaybar motor rotation turned out to be simple. Now I just need to get my stinger back from powdercoating, and fill up that gaping hole with a winch, and I will be all set. No more rubbing the stock bumper (annoying!) and one more thing partially marked off the to install list...

    Templar's Build

    Thanks bud :) I found that just using a dremel with a cuttoff wheel on the inside worked a lot better than a cuttoff wheel which does not fit well back there. Passenger side cut. Test fitting right now, still need to rotate the sway bar motor.

    Templar's Build

    No, I decided to start early this morning when it was cooler (I took the family out for Mexican food last night, and the Margarita did not help my motivation one bit...) Kids woke me up early as usual and I started about 6:45 AM - just taking a break to enjoy my coffee before I start cutting...

    Templar's Build

    I know, I can't wait either. There is a big local annual Crown King run this weekend, but there is something like 200 rigs signed up and I really don't want to be stuck in a traffic Jam for 12 hours. I am thinking maybe after the gears are done next week, and I get the 500 mile break in done of...

    Templar's Build

    Thanks much :) I just cut out a circular piece of plastic from a plastic 3-ring binder cover to put behind there. I heard some people use a piece of Vinyl as well. The texture of the plastic kind of matches the black powder coating on the sliders and bumpers.

    Just picked her up from having the EVO MFG C2 Axle Gussets & EVO MFG Rock Sliders welded on. Made a appointment next week to get the 4.88 gear's installed. It's starting to look how I envisioned...
