Quick bath today, haven't been doing much on it, just enjoying it when I can
. Loving the stance. Do have some ideas for a phase 2 on the axles.

The idea for the phase 2 axle setup:
Rebuild the high pinion dana 30 i have in the jeep in the driveway with a selectable locker and 4.56 gears, and use WJ outers to get rid of the Y style steering. using the WJ hubs and everything puts me on 5x5 bolt pattern, so I am open up to the aftermarket of the JK/JL wheels. Having 5x5 pattern also unlocks me to ordering a matching full float 9" for the rear, probably with a torsen style limited slip. I'd probably bump up to 17" rims, being the more common these days, and may try to squeeze a 34/35" tire without lifting much more if any.

my only wish on the current is that the oem painted rims had 3/8-1/2" less backspacing. Tires to like to rub at full lock. Real glad they are 10.5 width instead of 12.5 with these tires. I'm not sure I can just toss a set of pass through spacers and be comfortable with the leftover thread engagement on the studs

What do they rub on at full lock? Fix it with a hammer. lol

"frame"
They also rub on the sway bar i made a little bit, but I can narrow it up.

Narrowed my fabbed front sway bar. Much better.

did a couple big trips with it back to the paradise cabin and back

also picked up a full floating 9” for a phase 2 axle setup

designed a HD crossmember that gives 3/4” added clearance. Going to make a few more tweaks then do a production run.

I dig this! Simple and effective!! Looks nice to boot.

Whats your opinion on the shift kit you put in? How much difference does it make?

my 1-2 shift is maybe a bit too aggressive after doing the drill out for the “hot rod” 1-2. Otherwise no regrets. I do get some chirping in that shift depending on road and driving variables
