BigJerm's where the heck am I going LJ build

[monele]

The inverter is disassembled and I made a custom harness. Pretty sure I used the big grommet under the dash then came around through the center console pieces. Only the wiring for the plugs and switch are run (in separate enclosed chases) the inverter is under the hood above the little tray at the back on the drivers side. I wrapped it in a shop-vac prefilter to keep gack out. Been running that way for 3 years now. (I haven't gotten it wet, I am sure a full submersion would do it in) Most of the other crap I built too.

Thats pretty cool but probably above me electronic skill. I plan to have on board air of some kind even if its just the compressor, a way for power and water because those are usually the top 3 "if I only had..." while out in the Jeep or camping.

I dig the LJ's

Glad to see the chrome has been removed...I myself am not a fan!

But honestly....put the front locker in, winch, come up with some storage...than go find some adventure.

Just my 2 cents!

well the fenders are first as they are sitting on my garage floor waiting for their final coats of paint tonight. I have thought about it and your way might be the way soon. Rock rails, front locker, winch, bumper hi-lift and start working on the "other" things like OBA and the converter. While I think skid plates are needed I dont feel there are a must right away unless I start to get crazy on the rocks then thats a whole new issue

There are some good choices out there for air. I went with a Viair portable (200 or 300 series, don't remember) and it has served me well. I often air up others out on the trail and this makes it easy. A bunch of folks I know have the little Qmax (also sold as a Smitty Built) and it is surprisingly good for its size and price. (for a while costco had them for $49!!)

I also carry a Zodi with we when I plan to dry camp (well, no toilet anyway, I like to be by a stream) I have a single burner with the hard case that doubles as a bucket. I can even fit a cloth tarp in the case with some rope for a quick modesty panel.

Well spent all day friday and a good part of today but I done. Metalcloak front and rear fenders, dropped the 3" body lift to a 1" so now I have a total of 3" of lift (i think) on 35's.

There you go, Startin to look like a respectable trail rig instead of a hijacked crome glam road warrior.

Great find, Congrats.

Very nice BigJerm! I really like those fenders, haven't seen them before.

I like the fenders more and more everyday. I get a lot of looks from others Jeepers... hopefully its good looks. I ordered some AtoZ sliders today with the tube step and they should be here next week. Might try and get the Spartan auto locker upfront soon and I will have to take a break from mods till the pocket book recovers from the wedding. I do hope to atleast wire up rock lights and the compressor since those are cheap mods. Next year will start with a winch for sure, maybe do a belly up if I can get the funds or do some skids like the steering box and oil pan.

Alright did a few things. I also figured out where to mount my compressor but I need some wire connectors. Using the same electrical kit for years has finally drained most of the good stuff.

Painted the rear fender wells



"Tag Relocation". Just removed the holder, drilled some new holes and bent the tag a little
