those painted Moabs are awesome. Do want

[rckrdyxj]

Thanks everyone.

I need to touch up the moabs cause of rock rash but otherwise it was a really good idea to paint em. They were really starting to look like shit.

AJs offroad is going to be making my new bumper custom to the Beijing front end. I am going to ship them the header panel and headlights so they can make it fit the front end right. I am so excited to get the new front end and bumper.

its just me but I think that lime green diff cover takes away from the overall look of it.

and me

OK so i have updated my future plans and slimmed them down a bit.

Over the course of the next year i hope.

1st,

Sell ARB to Get money to pay for custom AJ's front bumper DONE

2nd,

Install Beijing front end, Decided to paint it myself with matched paint. Awaiting parts arrival in the US to ship to AJ's

3rd,

Taking wills advise and snagging some WJ Knuckles and calipers and all required bracketry/spacers and do X over steering. Ordered Bracket and spacers Grabing knuckles and calipers this week, rotors and pads later on.

4th,

Weld in Unibody stiffeners, on both frame rails and front end(horns if you will) and weld in rock sliders,

5th,

Have my friend help me design a belly skid and possibly home made long arms. Ditch short arms and drop brackets for $$$ or permanently weld in Drop brackets and say fuck you to long arms cause i dont wheel enough for a $1000 mod like that.

6th,

Better gas tank skid,

7th,

Reinstall a/c and install an electric compressor pump to my air tank i already have. (I am a wimp and want my a/c back and i dont care.)

8th,

Fix sagging door hinges.

9th,

Thor Rear 1/4 Armor.

10th,

stop,

[XJLI]

yo a/c rocks. the end.

[Mike]

im in a similar situation where I need to decide to ditch the AC for OBA or be wimp and keep my AC

[rckrdyxj]

Go electric, its a pita to use, really easy to setup but thats about it. I have found myself going to gas stations and paying $.75 to use the air machine instead of my oba.

[Pedro]

do want thor guards as well

[rckrdyxj]

I ordered the Trac bar over axle bracket and wheel hub spacers for the WJ steering setup. next i have to dig out the wj at the bone yard and grab calipers and knuckles. Then i just need a longer tie rod and new rotors and pads and have sam install my setup.

Then i am gonna finish building my tool box i started about 7 months ago. I just needs drawers and carpet and its ready to go.

I am also looking for an electric air compressor because i want my a/c back next summer and id rather not rely on that a/c pump for my air. They dont seem to be too reliable. i already have an air tank for that.

Then i am going to re do all my extra wiring and set it all up nicely like adam and alex have. Re do my dash switches and clean it all up.

Then install ym Beijing front end and new AJS bumper when i receive all the parts.

Hopefulyl this summer i will get to my potential long arms and install my unibody stiffening.

Then, if its even possible, take a break from major mods for a while.

[crosbike]

get that box done. ive made 2 in the time that you havent even finished one.

[rckrdyxj]

LOL, its all built i just have to assemble the drawers and install the damn thing.
