Default My New Project

My dad bought an 06 jeep rubicon unlimited about a year ago and really liked so now he wants to fix it up. Well guess who gets to do the wrenching Thats ok though because he told me to go "test" it out once its done so it breaks on me and not him, and well I just so happen to be good at testing the limits of things.

Specs
06 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited
4" Full traction ultimate suspension(best of the best)
Offroad front bumper
Warn 9.5ti winch
Piaa lights everywhere
LOD Industries rear tire carrier
33" Mickey THompson MTZs on MT Classic wheels
Rockey Road Jeep roof rack

While I have the top off I took the seats out and Im going to reline the tub of it because the tard that did the job the first time must have been cross eyed and half blind there are bare and thin spots everywhere.

May not sound like alot but it damn sure is I have most of the parts sitting in the garage and my spare garage, so here are some pics more tomorrow of the suspension tear down and various other things.

Bone stock(good lookin truck in the back ground )

Parts arriving

Seats pulled

My driving seat ATM

Suspension and rear tire carrier laid out


Not bad for a camera phone

And yes Im starting another project without finishing my Z71

My garage is a junkyard for LS parts you know that

The one on the engine stand is going back in the Z and the one on the ground may find its way into the jeep

I HATE pitman arms, I broke three pullers before I finally decided just to cut it with a cutoff wheel.

Got the front suspension torn down

Rear tire rack that holds the hilift jack, still waiting on the gerry can holders and trail rack for it
