<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see the weather was starting to turn for the worst. Within about 10 minutes after taking this picture is was White Out conditions and about 5:30pm. So we decided to turn around and head back to base camp. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On our way back to camp that's when the real carnage started to happen. You name it, it happened. Conditions on the trail were brutal that night. The Suburban blew the front diff and its a steep climb out with tight switch backs out of Wells. The Bus had to do some heavy towing to get it out. We all worked well into the evening as one by one things were starting to let go. Around 11:00pm the Bus came to a complete stop on the trail and never fired back up. We figure the ECM went on it, so we grabbed one of the trucks from camp to help recovery it and finally bring it back to camp. Eventually we all made it back around 2:30am in the morning. Needless to say no pictures were taken due to lack of visability and being tired. But all in all it was a fun and safe trip for everyone.</span></div>

For rear disc brakes we're going to be using a setup that comes from a 94-04 Mustang V6. These parts are inexpensive and very easy to work on. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgszG8rRMDJdm9STH0BgowTnFhyphenhyphenKmCZHbsPSli1XsAXp007SYiHMrKfAoJD4SOw50GOFmOHXahofWp7TvIX_85IxVrSrFc-lcHwhKAeZUI0lpC-qCrzVAwWhddT2OfdWdF6WjAIjQzl1tst/s1600/IMG_0769.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgszG8rRMDJdm9STH0BgowTnFhyphenhyphenKmCZHbsPSli1XsAXp007SYiHMrKfAoJD4SOw50GOFmOHXahofWp7TvIX_85IxVrSrFc-lcHwhKAeZUI0lpC-qCrzVAwWhddT2OfdWdF6WjAIjQzl1tst/s400/IMG_0769.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First things first, a portion of the brake mounting flange had to be trimmed for our new brake caliper bracket to fit. We need to mount it in this position because we need the clearance for the E-Brake cable to run over the axle tube in order to line up to the caliper.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyUy38V2MOZ-6YRZviSyK8bquX1IraB3CjcA7Gk3TvHOGV0RaDYB-xZo1ea4WOa4-e3FVe9RHsKVT8wr8LmD7IjSIb6lLjRaAR2NokvF0idAnfkCOzlbShLszns-Plc6r88kY__lMZnbrY/s1600/IMG_0771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyUy38V2MOZ-6YRZviSyK8bquX1IraB3CjcA7Gk3TvHOGV0RaDYB-xZo1ea4WOa4-e3FVe9RHsKVT8wr8LmD7IjSIb6lLjRaAR2NokvF0idAnfkCOzlbShLszns-Plc6r88kY__lMZnbrY/s400/IMG_0771.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we gave the caliper bracket a shot of black paint, we now had to replace the wheel studs in favor of longer ones. The reason for this is the overall track width on the Explorer axle is 1-1/4" narrower that the stock Dana 35. To maintain the factory track width we're going to use a 1/2" wheel spacers on both sides. With the thickness of the spacers and rotors, we're now able to get back to the factory track width and have proper thread left on the studs to mount the wheels on.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01FYMxIwGplvc97NR9a4e-f0QyxJ3rIh5IyNIzWXQyf3m9-W5DrzxSIf1K67BmKARI5LWE4axbq2MIWR7fWRgLgGOLuyqYu7KI9sFNJEl4psFb02LqumLSGYIAKOlS_PgaBKV0XcWEtBW/s1600/IMG_0778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01FYMxIwGplvc97NR9a4e-f0QyxJ3rIh5IyNIzWXQyf3m9-W5DrzxSIf1K67BmKARI5LWE4axbq2MIWR7fWRgLgGOLuyqYu7KI9sFNJEl4psFb02LqumLSGYIAKOlS_PgaBKV0XcWEtBW/s400/IMG_0778.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The rearend that we're going to be using is out of a 91-94 Ford Explorer </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">with a 31 splined shaft. The reason for the axle swap is we need better gearing than the stock 3.07 gears we have in the Jeep. Also when you go to a lower gear ratio, you must use a different carrier. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So since we want to use Air Lockers and 4.56 gears it just make sense to get a beefier rearend to take some abuse with everything we have invested into it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">First thing we did was completely strip down the entire axle. Cut off the leaf spring perches, shock mounts and took the factory gears out. We also did away with the stock drum brakes as we're going to do a rear disc brake conversion. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here we are now on the start of the gear assembly. We are going to a 4.56 gear ratio to match up with the 35" tall tires along with all new bearings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIc2y_pSnfKtCw0o68bH435uu_K-g9O1sDvPxe075neO0ncSuxjl2TDe4R2KVSX0E33sySlXxigG02-GXaWKT-ArYmKsnexlVMxvLyZzJ9Td3kdl2QiFN8uOn23J1tcgqlZYeNa5PrUpR/s1600/488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIc2y_pSnfKtCw0o68bH435uu_K-g9O1sDvPxe075neO0ncSuxjl2TDe4R2KVSX0E33sySlXxigG02-GXaWKT-ArYmKsnexlVMxvLyZzJ9Td3kdl2QiFN8uOn23J1tcgqlZYeNa5PrUpR/s400/488.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It’s time to get back to reality and have some fun in the shop with the Jeep build.</div><br />
A few weeks back we picked up the Jeep from the Body Shop with our brand new look. So now the fun part starts in outfitting the Jeep with some Off-Road gear.<br />
<br />
First we’re going to replace the original seal beam headlights lights with a pair of IPF 920H 7” round lens’s from ARB. The lens’s are Prism and Column Cut to produce a 15 degree rise in the outside edge light pattern to provided a better view of the road shoulder. The beauty of this new lens housing is that you can use a aftermarket H4 High/Low Bulb to get a brighter output to increase visibility. This simple upgrade is a must for all Jeep owners. They’re available in the 7” Round & 7” Rectangular for YJ’s, TJ’s and JK’s.<br />

(97-06 TJ’s & Unlimited - #10920-07 and 07-10 JK 4dr - #10918-07) Click to download BUSHWACKER’s Flat Fender Special - <a href="http://www.bushwacker.com/Documents/2011_Flat_Style_Rebate.pdf">Flat Fender Rebate</a></div><div></div><div>These flares do take some time to put on especially taking off the old originals. So as dumb as it sounds, be sure to read the instructions before install the flares or you’re going to be taking them on and off a few times.</div><div>The Flat Fender Flares are a direct bolt on in the factory holes. Bushwacker provides all the necessary hardware and trim in the kit, including a new LED signal light on the front flares. On our Jeep, most of the fasteners were corroded and simply broke off, so we had to improvise when installing the new flares.</div><div></div><div>The first thing you have to do is install the mounting brackets in the factory holes. The reason for this is for the flares to mount over the bracket to give a clean seamless install. There’s about 3 brackets per wheel well to be fitted.</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I mentioned earlier most of the factory flare hardware had to be removed due to being in rough shape. Here I had to reinstall some ¼” thread crush nuts back into the body to mount the flare brackets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now that I’ve attached the body trim to the flare, I simply slide the flare over the bracket and screw them together. As you can see this will give us adequate tire coverage and also give is the Classic Jeep Flat Fender look on our modern TJ.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Since I’m working on the flares, I might as well put the ARB Rock Sliders (#4450010) and make sure they work with the new Flares.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I always wanted to install these sliders and to my surprise, they’re very easy to install. The protection and coverage the Rock Sliders give are unbelievable. A lot of time went into these when designing them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As you can see ARB’s Rock Slider give you superior side coverage on the side and under the rocker panel for when your traversing over big boulders and stumps. They also provide brackets that mount on the inside of the rocker panel to give more strength and support for the rocker panel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We’re in luck.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mind you there was a little persuading and massaging I had to do to get them to work but they just barely fit between the new flares I just installed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I had to do is take off the rear fender flare, hold the Rock Slider in place and then mount the fender flare back on. As you can see I had about a 3/16” of room to work with, but it worked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">So I’ve got the slider in place and there’s 6 holes on the face of the rocker panel that need to be marked for drilling.

What a HUGE difference.<br />
<br />
But first, let start from the beginning . . .<br />
We make a call to Cap-it Abbotsford to find out who they deal with in regards their painted products and they recommended <a href="http://www.fixauto.com/abbotsford-west/index.sn">Fix Auto Renascent Collision</a> in Abbotsford. So I get a hold of <a href="http://www.fixauto.com/abbotsford-west/contact-us.sn">Sue Majeau</a> (Manager) at Renascent’s and after a few minutes of discussing the project, they were so excited about it I could barely get the Jeep down there fast enough for them to start.<br />
<br />
<br />
So after a few weeks of being in the body shop, here are the pictures on the Jeep getting a new look.<br />
<br />

They also offer snow tires and snow chains from THULE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So after weeks and many calls to Body Shops, we’ve decided to NOT to send the body off to get painted. The reason for this and to our surprise, many Body Shops in our area were unable to handle just taking the body. Even with us stripping as much as we can of the tub to make it easier for them. So we’re throwing the body on and moving forward with the Jeep Project. We’ll send it to the paint shop on a rolling chassis instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here we’ve got the frame on the trailer and we’re heading out to Cap-it’s Warehouse. We’re going to use their forklift to install the body. It’s going to make this job a whole lot easier. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_jdqvONBgxAz9vQQHHfB1ELU217XIlbiw1v6_Y7AAUEYQSbahRfNOnrcAeNSqxBKL50Onh3d6_F4H3p4fImeqtouxFXqUWIvjg6wXMyktcPimQFmEyniWbFItl68_0qliDTNdlWDvEKEd/s1600/Phase3-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_jdqvONBgxAz9vQQHHfB1ELU217XIlbiw1v6_Y7AAUEYQSbahRfNOnrcAeNSqxBKL50Onh3d6_F4H3p4fImeqtouxFXqUWIvjg6wXMyktcPimQFmEyniWbFItl68_0qliDTNdlWDvEKEd/s400/Phase3-6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here we are in Cap-it’s warehouse get’n ready to put the body back on. As you can see we’ve got lots of room to work with and by using the electric reach truck, this is really going to be a quick install. To lift the body up we used long fork extensions and simply lift the body by the factory roll bar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVA2_fFHUS9e0iEUiIV-XhUFeCXxuQGBphQoag-J74h5QQcs8UPzVbj-lz3telwLOt-ZvSh90CuvdZQ0oLZFyMz8CiBUPJ4m2b_Zzni45rL4juzD0ZbpNrlB3vFxR02TebZD8Nswt58_Qy/s1600/Phase3-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVA2_fFHUS9e0iEUiIV-XhUFeCXxuQGBphQoag-J74h5QQcs8UPzVbj-lz3telwLOt-ZvSh90CuvdZQ0oLZFyMz8CiBUPJ4m2b_Zzni45rL4juzD0ZbpNrlB3vFxR02TebZD8Nswt58_Qy/s400/Phase3-7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To make additional room for our 35” tires, we’re adding a 1” body lift from DAYSTAR. This kit isn’t your normal body lift. The kit comes complete with new urethane lower body mounts and upper mounts that are 1” taller than stock. There’s no messing around with the typical plastic pucks anymore. Also another good reason for the extra 1” is for ease of cleaning the mud and dirt off between the frame and body.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThhw9TFg9s5RdzpR87XBRQK9GiiPD2kti3cwnqRcqlJPX49JtnWnGcknlxkHSTFhQGnALZshQsSDBlTu7ANR3sNyP90r-j52uhzEH26RUhfG716UD2skp2rGjlX8pq6KziqQ_CDduMePx/s1600/Phase3-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThhw9TFg9s5RdzpR87XBRQK9GiiPD2kti3cwnqRcqlJPX49JtnWnGcknlxkHSTFhQGnALZshQsSDBlTu7ANR3sNyP90r-j52uhzEH26RUhfG716UD2skp2rGjlX8pq6KziqQ_CDduMePx/s400/Phase3-9.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This bolts right up in the stock location. For durability, WARN’s skid plate is made from 3/16th steel and black powder coated throughout. Notice the recess in bottom of the plate. This is to give a little more clearance under the fuel pump if the skid plate does happen to cave in and it also help drain the mud and dirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJmzq4J2LzgnfZbPHybZFxpL_LMUtAu7cZ31DR-qvhwPCGntbX90rRJ_4ajkHtETAO8cG-LapRs8ck6Z-qPdY4n1OYHdfKYV0RCvh1iECs0Q3NKH3qo3uhzJsFJ79sP9-5yfhdKpmDsDw/s1600/Phase3-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJmzq4J2LzgnfZbPHybZFxpL_LMUtAu7cZ31DR-qvhwPCGntbX90rRJ_4ajkHtETAO8cG-LapRs8ck6Z-qPdY4n1OYHdfKYV0RCvh1iECs0Q3NKH3qo3uhzJsFJ79sP9-5yfhdKpmDsDw/s400/Phase3-14.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Seeing that our new frame came from a 4cyl Jeep, we had reposition the motor mounts. The 4 cylinder engine sat further back in the frame rails which won’t work for our 4.0L. So we cut off the 4 cyl mounts and welded on the original mounts that came with the old frame.<br />

The new 4.0L mounts in place. (Notice how much closer the mounts are to the coil pocket) Also the steering column bracket had to be relocated as well.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now for the fun part. From ARB we’re going to be using OLD MAN EMU’s 4” Front and Rear Coils and Extended Length Nitrocharger Sport Twin Tube shocks. Old Man Emu has always been known for their 2-2½” lifts, but when it comes to the Jeep TJ & JK’s they offer a 4” application for those who want more lift. This 4” application is not a full kit, so we’re going to Daystar and some other products to make it complete. This partial 4” kit runs about $1245.00 and a complete 2” kit goes around $1235.00</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjW73JeBFOtQpVJjIe-HKodsJXLsW_3KD4qDRtTz480N955xQhHVQPCES8FyuAbk6-iHmPmn7cfkPH1RuzSRZIfrQDJ77jjhc0aINDst_HQz2UBpYiLGI5dY_-J9998unoJsq2x45RJ-oH/s1600/Assembly-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjW73JeBFOtQpVJjIe-HKodsJXLsW_3KD4qDRtTz480N955xQhHVQPCES8FyuAbk6-iHmPmn7cfkPH1RuzSRZIfrQDJ77jjhc0aINDst_HQz2UBpYiLGI5dY_-J9998unoJsq2x45RJ-oH/s320/Assembly-4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Old Man Emu is known as one of the best tuned suspensions systems for Landcruiser’s, Land Rover’s, Toyota’s and many more Import Makes, but when it comes to Jeep Stuff they have a multitude of different applications to make your ride better than ever. If you have a Soft Top or Hard Top, Front and Rear Bumper and even a roof rack, Old Man Emu provides different spring settings and shock valving to handle these additional options for optimal performance in ride control. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Since our 4” lift kit does not come with extended short arms, we’re going to use DAYSTAR’s Poly Flex Control Arms. These are arms are sweet. They come with greaseable Spherical Ball Joints for better articulation and they’re fully rebuildable too. For around $1200 it’s a great investment for those who want the most out of their Jeep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9v6xVz7KUu7_n7qth7kePvJ7VtoQWpsH4Q7cc_qYsvKVtvlcjJba5USSzHnt_DgI_f_WDYpTY0h09ki5sahtDwmvqZma9q_PAA69Nt64CKJ6D8VCjMebqBsERLT3IoOv2_z4pNooEL-8/s1600/Daystar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9v6xVz7KUu7_n7qth7kePvJ7VtoQWpsH4Q7cc_qYsvKVtvlcjJba5USSzHnt_DgI_f_WDYpTY0h09ki5sahtDwmvqZma9q_PAA69Nt64CKJ6D8VCjMebqBsERLT3IoOv2_z4pNooEL-8/s1600/Daystar.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx437dZhmEuRDLZ4MGY0757Xg-8RzbSBhdUnL6GWChahP6PgrYq1Hfe8hRjYyhhiGzPpZ47JQqJc_by8f6qi9tBqCc_1UI-4Jy0F5CVn2vvLMOxZY-nuWG9V6VpWwDvjof17FUDymJ-vzu/s1600/Assembly-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx437dZhmEuRDLZ4MGY0757Xg-8RzbSBhdUnL6GWChahP6PgrYq1Hfe8hRjYyhhiGzPpZ47JQqJc_by8f6qi9tBqCc_1UI-4Jy0F5CVn2vvLMOxZY-nuWG9V6VpWwDvjof17FUDymJ-vzu/s400/Assembly-5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So for the first time ever ARB 4X4 Products has teamed up with Cap-it to build Ultimate Jeep TJ. Jeeps are a great platform to build from and we sell some of the best products in the industry for this project. On this build were going to be outfitting our Jeep with just about every conceivable ARB Product they make including Old Man Emu Suspension. As for the finishing touches we’ll throw some Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, Bushwacker Flares, Daystar Jeep Products and much more goodies. After the Jeep is finished it will be travelling around our 15 locations for viewing and also be hitting the trails.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;">The main reason we’re stripping it down to the frame is to send it out for powder coat. Being 13 years old and seeing surface rust on the frame, we want a fresh clean look. After a closer inspection of the frame we double checked to make sure it was all solid. To our surprise the frame was not good at all. Although the rear frame section had surface rust on it, it was still in good shape. However the middle sections above the transmission/transfer-case skid plate was a whole different storey. The outside frame rail looked great but the inside was shot. It was packed full of crud and was literally rusting from the inside out. The frame was so thin in some areas that the first major trail we hit would have eventually bent or broke it in half. This was a huge set back, we did not expect this. After some discussion about this problem we decided to get another frame. After a few days of searching the local Off-Road forums to no avail, we lucked out and picked up a near new frame at a local wrecking yard for $400. This saved us a ton of work as we didn’t have to send the new frame out to get media blasted and powder coated.</span><br />
