I finally got a chance to take a break from work and update y'all on "2nd Hand Goat". Updates will probably be few and far between but I will do my best (not that good at remembering to take pics and things). I dont even let my Mama know whats going on in my life...
So far I have been ordering parts and lining things up so when work slows down progress will begin on the Jeep. I have decided to go a different route on a few things than Marcus was doing. I have sold the 42's and the beadlocks he had purchased. I ran a set of aluminum wheels with a staun double beadlock in my old buggy and really liked them so I am going to run the same thing in this Jeep. Downsized to a red label 39 inch Krawler. Same thing, I ran a set of stickies on my old buggy and once you run a sticky you really cant go back. I sold the Corbeau recliners and went with a fixed back Corbeau. I didnt want to mess with a recliner, plus there wasnt a ton of room to recline anyway. Selling the old (new) seats funded almost the whole purchase of the new seats, harnesses and pads. Selling the wheels and tires more than funded the new wheels, stauns, and tires. I still had some left over to purchase a selectable locker and compressor from Alljeep.com (thanks Ryan)
Here is the pile-o-parts that are currently making my living room look like... an adult candy store!
RCI 15 gallon fuel cell
Gen Right fuel cell ring (to run stock fuel setup)
Ballistic Battery Box
Corbeau Seats, Harnesses and Pads
Radiator
Flex-a-lite Fan
Cans for the air bumps I already have
Spike tube ends from Ballistic
Here are the wheels...
Arriving this week are the wheels, stauns, full PSC hydro steering setup, Optima red top, and later this month will be the Yukon Zip locker (the warranty sold me!), and the compressor. I have a very very good feeling I will be getting new PIAA lights for V-Day tomorrow.
