Then

And now

 

[BlueXJ]

Not fair Kyle you showed the Left side in one pic and the Right in the next. How do we know it isn't divided down the middle? One side stock and the other modded?

 

[nick_n_ii]

As close to stock as I have pics of,

On 2.25"BB and 31's

And now, 5.5" lift and 32's

I was much happier with it on 31's and the BB than I am now..

 

[BlueXJ]

Switch it back then. It is your so fix it like you want to.

 

[Kyle]

Why do you say that?

That comment is why.

 

[nick_n_ii]

Easier said than done, it has electrical and mechanical issues, plus to get it to this height I had to drill out the track bar mounts. There's also many other things that would not be worth the work to undo. So I'll drive it till I find another than do it right with all the knowledge I've gained...

It also fit down trails better before, it's almost to big for the trails I run now...

 

[BlueXJ]

As for the trackbar mount you can weld a plate onto both sides and redrill it. Don't know about the electrical issues which you didn't elaborate on.

 

[Kyle]

That comment is why.

Woops, you posted too fast for me. I meant to say that to nick.

I've been wheeling since I was 3(not driving) and riding /driving everything with wheels since about 6. So I have more than a few years under my belt. I can go places with open diffs and little lift that most can't. I'm a very technical driver, and I enjoy that. What i did with the ZJ was built it past what i have to wheel in and around me. If I lived in the mountains or desert with rocks, I might be happier with it. But for what I have and where I go it's jut taken all the fun out of wheeling. I like the challenge of knowing it I don't place my tires just right I might not make it. I guess you could say I wheel for the challenge of not making it, more so the I know I can go any were mind set. Plus as I get older it's more about seeing things that most will never get to cause there un-willing to go to the ex-streams to get there.
