So an update on the Money Pit (aka Jeep TJ with 60's, Atlas t-case, and currently an on road only vehical, well as long as it's not the highway) Frown

The hybrid Tereflex LCG/custom suspension is almost ready to go in. I don't regret buying the front 60 CRD but it just isn't ment to work with a Rubicon Express suspension, and a Rockram. The track bar and radius arms setup just doesn't work with the CDR. Anyways it time this "JEEP PROJECT" comes to an end. I made the final list of stuff to do after the suspension is done.

Engine driven air, dual battery, and front seats and 5 point belts.

And finish with a DVD/Nav/TV/SAT Radio/Camera. Oh and an ARB fridge/freezer.

After that IT'S OVER AND ALL I WILL DO IS FIX BROKEN PARTS!!!! Ok maybe a new trans when this one breaks..NO..No,,no that it really. Unless the shocks and springs need to be replaced with coil overs but I really don't see that happening...most likely,,,


99 TJ, 4.0, 5-sp, CRD60's F&R , ARB's, 5.13's, Atlas 5.0, Tera LCG, Sway-A-Way coilovers, air bumps, 1" bl, 36" IROKS, Weld/OMF beadlocks, HS9500, RockRam, skids, Premier Welder, 6-point cage, Mastercraft seat, and ect.
04 KJ, 04 Ram 3500 4x4 diesel, and 97 TJ Buggy with better stuff than my 99!!!

Glad it's finally coming to end. Sad to say..but somethings go WAY overboard sometimes. It sure is easy to get carried away!

Good to see its coming to and end. Who did you find to sell you LCG parts? I'm in need of some, but not all (Have AiRock, me need to freggin springs Smile )

Have you seen this fridge? Run off propane too, sticking on in the M101 when I get around to it.

I'm also working on developing a Nav/CD/Mp3/AiRock + swayloc control/locker + misc gadget system. If you have any interestings requirements I'd be glad to hear it. jpower2 at umbc.edu

Thanks,
Jason

Is that from experience Pete? I think we'd better start buying Unlimiteds. They may look odd, but at least when we're broke and homeless they have enough space in the back to sleep Smile

Now that u have the new suspension, are u still goin to use all of ur rubicon parts? Wondering if u were planning on selling it. Maybe i could put together a long arm with ur parts and mine. Just a thought, thanks.
