Mitrig's jkur student build

[CedarRaider]

I'm still trying to find a shop that sells the tires I'm looking for. So far I'm striking out. Found some online but not too sure about the reputation of simple tire. They have my tires at a good price 230 each. +25 each to ship.

 

[Mitrig]

Mine were 105+12 shipping and taxes so not a bad price. My mom was pushing me to get the beadlocks right away. (She thinks they look cool) but I can't afford a set just yet. So many mods and not enough money. Which rim are you going for!?

 

[Mitrig]

Was curious what everyone said set at 80 cooperators an hour because I sit at approximately 14 to 1600 RPM on 35's for 4.10 gears also what kind of gas mileage is everyone getting at that speed as you can see I get about 15.6 to 15.8 depending on how hard a question but I drive pretty slow to begin with

Picking up final sets of lights and brackets. Snorkel will be in Tuesday and 52 inch light bar is still a no show, email the company to get tracking and yet to have heard anything back 3 days later. Hoping Monday they will reply

 

[Mitrig]

so i must have a horse shoe up my ass because when i initially ordered my light bar i sent it to my home address in canada, but due to duties i would have to pay emailed my contact to see if they can send it to my detroit address instead. They did...it was supposed to be here between 5-7 business days...it had been 20 or so since i placed the order and they finally got back to me today...so i never received a tracking number only a note in an email that said it shipped so i complained. Got an email back that they are resending another one since they believe the package was lost in the system...i got an email a few hours later from my post office that it came in! emailed them back and they said they already sent out a new one and that due to the inconvenience I can keep it. So now I have 2 50 inch light bars. 2 for the price of one....

next upgrades i will be installing this week:

1 of 2 LED light bars
AEV snorkel
4 LED roof lights
2 Windshield lights
2 rear facing trial lights
rock rails
evo rear shackle bumper

May be selling the other Light bar since i get to keep it. so more money for mods....also purchased my spare tire and rim today since they installed 2 of my mtrs backwards i complained and they gave me 60 off plus 20 more since I'm coming from canada

Will be building a bracket for the upper 2 stinger lights using the same holes. Set up a drain in the bottom of the stinger on both sides, and got a sealant for any wholes i make. then rebedlining the entire bumper

 

[Mitrig]

A few new toys and working on installing a mixed light bar on a fellow members yj all night

 

[Mitrig]

Full class on baja fuel cell technology!? Are we talking about off-roading all semester? Yes!

 

[Mitrig]

Bosch light bar being taken down and transferred to the the tj "junior" and new LED bar being installed now that new poison spyder brackets arrived yesterday.

Waiting till the weather clears up to install the snorkel and rear bumper

Possibly going with the new poison spyder tire carrier depending on reviews. I like the locking mechanism better and the design seems more structurally sound
