Stouttrouts '04 Unlimited

Everything is holding up great. Repacked the front and put one new bearing in it this past weekend. The others where stilll like new. New seals all in the front. The steering has given me a bit of trouble but I now have it worked out. Took all the PSC stuff off expect the ram and put a K30 1 ton pump on it. Now it works great and all the parts to fix it are at the auto parts store. As for the Geometry on the links, I use a claculation for those called TLAR (That Looks About Right). It has never failed me. It will drive at 70mph all day.

Yup, I`m familiar with "that looks about right!" How does the hydraulic ram feel on highway? Or do you trailer it to the trails?

you rock !!!! that is one sweet monster you got there.

You never feel any difference if you keep it as a Ram Assist set up. I still have a tie rod. It basically acts like my steering stabilzer.

You need it for those meats.

1: Your my hero
2: What's your day job?

Thanks for all the compliments. I do Real Estate investment but would like to get out of it and start my own fab biz.

This makes me miss my old LJ...sort of.

If you start a fab shop, you'll have my money

Well my son MArshall has just drooled all over my computer...this is exactly what he wants. He wants to know what you charge!!! He wants to make a road trip!!

Marshall would

Thats a kickass!!! Ride man. My friend has a TJ from AZ with some fab work, plus he's added some himself. But there different. I liked to see them next to each other some time.

What type of fenders are those?

Stock with some custon Hacksaw work

That's the look my son is looking for, but the fenders out of the magazine are $400.00 for the front and $500.00 for the back...ouch!

The hacksaw is a great tool

Stouttrout are you going to make it to Long's? I would love to see your rig in person.

Well the Unlimited is under the knife once again. Getting a cage, tied into the frame, with new seats also tied in, a rear third seat in a cradle that is removable, and few other goodies. Here's some pics:










Does this look mean?

Lookin' good bud! What kind of welder/welders are you using for the cage?

I am not sure. It is being done In Houston at the Gulf Coast Crawlshop. I use a Lincoln HD3200 for a 110v and I have a Miller 251 for a 220v. Yhe miller is a big dog. That is what i welded up everything during the first and second build of the Unlimited.

I just have a Lincoln 110 weldpak. But I`m able to weld 1/4 even 5/16 with no duty cycling. some of the thicker metal, I just make a double pass. Never had a weld break. best $300 bucks I spent!
