The building of Anvil II -- The Deuce

[gmb425]

Just a planning update. Have to pay for a few other things, first, but this is what I'm looking at. Any feedback on these items will be appreciated!

Sliders:
LoD Signature Series Sliders

Skids:
RockHard 4x4 Oil Pan/Transmission Skid Plate

Front Bumper:
LoD Signature Series Mid-Width Front Bumper w/ Bull Bar

Winch:
Warn M8000-s

Rear Bumper:
LoD Signature Series Shorty Rear Bumper w/ Tire carrier

Suspension:
EVO Enforcer 3"

I'm probably going to run the stock Rubicon wheels with spacers and buy 35" tires. I'll regear from 4.10, a little later. I can't decide whether I want a door-linked tire carrier or not. Everything will go on in this order, probably, unless I find a steal on tires. I have some spacers, already, that will help clear the tires, temporarily, until I can get the Enforcer done. I really like the way the EVO coils ride, and from the feedback here, I know it's a good system.

I am on 3.73 gears and KO2 315/70r17 with a 3.6L. Regearing was at the top of my list after I got new wheels and tires. But after driving on the new tires and wheels, I am so glad I waited. For me it is very nice on the road with 3.6L, 3.73 and light 315/70r17 tires.

Mine have what probably is curb rash on them, because it hasn't been off-road much, I don't think, but I can't see buying wheels just for looks. Now, if they were the Moab style, like a Sport S has, they'd have to go.

I gave up my perfect condition Sport S wheels for a set of rock rashed, scratched, small chunks missing rubi wheels because they were dirt cheap and I couldn't stand those wheels any longer

I figure it's great because I look like I wheel more than I do, and when I do wheel I won't be concerned about them as much as a spotless brand new set.

On highway, 4.10 with 35's will probably be okay, where I live, but when I drove my 2 door out west, the 33's on 3.73 was a little weak on the highways, changing elevation. I'll regear it, one day. I'd rather buy more gasoline, & have it pull stronger.

Swapped out the black decals for these. I finally messed a decal up, after all the decals I've applied, so I'll have to redo the drivers side. Once I get over the vacations I took, I'll do some real mods. Next up...Wayalife decals!

You will be just fine on 4.10 and 35's since you have the 3.6

Cool beans. They wouldn't get changed for a while, anyway. Say, like if the lockers broke or something, then that may be PR44 time, depending on funds availability! [emoji13]

I have a red windshield decal if you want it.

I'll take it. PM'd you.

Thanks to Dale72. He hooked me up with a red Wayalife windshield banner, because he decided to run a silver one on his sweet, black Sahara!

I've actually been considering swapping to red WAL decals just for a different look... Maybe

Your welcome good to meet you

Got some new eyes today. I couldn't deal with the dim stock headlights, and with the days getting shorter, and the deer moving, I got a set of JW Speaker 8700 Evolution J headlights.




I put in a horizontal adjustment screw, in case I needed it, because on my last Jeep, the Trucklites were a little cross eyed.





Since the JKU seats are different than the seats in a 2 door, I put a Bestop lock box in, you know...to store the important stuff.
