Hey guys, new to Expedition Portal. I have been reading some expeditions and checking out the site the past couple weeks and love the idea of traveling in a vehicle and living out of it.
Unfortunately my jeep is modified in the wrong direction. Born to Crawl instead of Born to explore.
So here is the background on my Jeeps life and how it got to where it is at now.
I bought it back in middle of september 2008. absolutely no options. No A/C soft top, no hard top, 3.21 gears 16"steelies vinyl seats(which i love, so easy to clean mud and dirt off)
First time offroad
First modification...
33x10.5 Mickey Thompson MT's on 16" black steelies
and some hella 500 windshield lights to help look the part haha
what a difference in look!
then i ended up taking the tube steps off and adding some rocker guards, adding a cb, and bedlining my grill
Then I added a Smitty Bilt bumper and 8500 Superwinch
and of course beer and wings followed...
then I went crazy haha
I added 35x12.5 MT's on 15" rims with 5.13 gears and arb lockers front and rear :smiley_drive:
and yes i have a d30 up front:Wow1:
Im smart.....
in prep for the gears and lockers, I put on some rse(rock slide engineering) outer sleeves and some C-gussets and control arm skids.
I cant find any pictures of the install but I ended up blowing apart my drivers side ujoint and axle shaft yoke. aka upgrade to USAalloy Chrome-alloy shafts.
Im gunna round up some action shots and post them soon.
