What do you guys think? No/Yes on the high lift jack? I couldnt resist, I had to drive it so i threw in some electronics and off i went. I loved how the suspension carryed it across the rocks it was kinda bouncy. But the crappy axial electronics kept glitching so it was kinda hard to pick a line and go. After a couple mins with crappy electronics It did roll over due to me trying to turn into the down hill and it forze then went and cuased it to roll but no big damage, Just some small scratchs but i yelled like it was going to total it |

IMO the hi-lift jack kills the look when mounted on the hood. But that's just me. Once again great job on the build, glad to see you finally got it out there. |

To clarify, your front suspension is 3-linked with no panhard bar, correct? How is the bump steer with this setup? I was planning on making the same type steering box mounted outside the chassis to be able to keep my front 4-linked but minimize the bump steer with a cms. I never expected to find someone that had done similar, I was under the mistaken impression I had an original idea. :( How do you think it would work on a 4-linked front? |

Looks great. The hood is not a very good spot to put a high lift, IMO. Is there room to put it between the spare and the rack on the back? Or standing up next to the spare? Just a thought...... |

Looks good Ryan! Try mounting it to the back of the back seat, that's how I had mine mounted in my old JK. |

I just finished a custom bumper so I can appreciate how difficult it is. It was probably the most time consuming thing I did on the entire build. Wes Quote:

I put mine on the hood and it works great. Guaranteed not to break up there!. Wes |

Well I finally got to take my jeep out and run it. Well we had a blast as you can see but i did manage to rip of my rear tire carrier and added some carnage to her. But over all she did better than i thought out on the trails. Well i hit something pretty hard and one did pop out!!!! |

Well after my first outing all the spraypaint on the bumpers and sliders scraped off. And i never did like the way my frame came out so i took it all apart and got everything powder coated. |
