Yeah i still don't have them mounted. I had them all mocked up and literally 100% ready to be welded but then something broke on the welder I was using. The wire wouldn't feed through properly. So yeah, i might just bolt them up to the frame. I have a good drill and drill set now, along with a unibit so it should be no problem. Idk, i might start thinking about it next week.

It's completely invisible in 2 wheel drive. In 4wheel drive it feels like it's spooled.

Yeah, kinda. I don't have a picture of it in my jeep though.
Here's the door speakers. They are hifonic 5.25" components. I have them in the front and rear door:


Here's a picture of the sub box as it sits now:

9ft^3 tuned to 24hz.
Here's an old picture of the sub i'm running in an older box.


I'm in the process of selling that sub. It sounds pretty good and all, but it's definitely way over the top and takes up way too much room. I got a free set of JL audio 10" subwoofers that i'm going to stick in a 1.25" sealed box so I will actually have room to take it wheeling.

Thanks for the compliments guys

So my plan for the next week or two is to FINALLY get my rockrails on. I'm going to ditch the idea of welding them on because i'm sure i will eventually want to do some kind of unibody stiffiner. I bought a makita drill that actually has a clutch on it, and a unibit to go with it so I won't kill myself drilling holes into my frame.

So today I picked up a parts jeep for $500


I'm going to pull off the axles, and the 6.5" suspension and throw it on my jeep. It has a dana 44 rear, 4.88 gears and detroits front and rear. The tires I will keep for spares for when/if i go 35s

Nice $500 looks like a pretty sweet deal.
