Building of "SPIRIT"

[19YJ94]

Totally missed your build thread! The new radio looks great. Is your cb antenna tuned in?

No I haven't tuned in the cb antenna yet, got to replace the spare tire mount and and mount the antenna mount.

Man, nice build so far! Digging the bumper with lights. Also, I like the net replacement on the door. Great to hide the knot rags!

I bought a meter if you need to use it

Took out the (Screw) fasteners for the freedom panels and added some magnetic led lights. Brighter interior, adjustable and removable!

I don’t think Ric took pictures but we rebuilt his front trackbar this evening

Thanks again Mark, for your help and posting the pics. The steering is 100% tight now! Drives great.

That’s great! Your welcome it’s fun to help out and hang around at the same time. Now we can add that to the list of things we know how to do

Glad that fixed it. Who makes that bushing kit?

He said it was Energy Suspension. Had to push the old bushings out and push a sleeve in the bar then squeeze the bushing into the sleeve. It took a ball joint press and a vice to push it all together

And got the axle breather tubes rerouted higher.

So I was actually impressed with Smittybilt RTT, it does the job just fine. No complaints yet for the RTT. Other than the velcro cover is loud pulling it off at night!

I think the "cat=walk" is needed for my rack though, kind of hard to reach the front.

That looks great, I never saw it set up

But it's definitely time to cut some fenders, my only incident on the trails on Drummond Island.

Thanks, didn't need to open all the windows. Or use other parts of it yet.

If you end up needing fenders, let me know. I have a full set of uncut stockers.

 

[19YJ94]

So I took off the front fender flares and was cleaning some mud off in the hidden spots. Plus planning to cut the flares anyways.

Anyways I could not believe how much dried mud were in the top of the spring perch. Cleaned them out. Found a couple red caps laying around, maybe solve that problem?

And another thing I found was the lower shock mount? Is that stock? Or some kind of leveling cheat?

More to be done yet. Will have more pics tomorrow.
