I only ended up paying $35 for everything on the sliders since I put it together and all myself

 

Im pretty set on 33x10.50's or 32x11.50's to upgrade from my 31's do I have to regear or can I get away without doing so?

 

Depends on what you want to do and which gears you currently have... if you want to maintain your current hwy. performance then with the 33's I'd say yes... with the 32's not so much... the 32x11.50 might rub a little at full lock without spacers... you also need to check the rules in your state... with the wider tires you may need to add fender flares/wider flaps to cover the tires, some states/counties can be very anal about that... it may even come down to a particular sheriff/deputy's interpretation of the rules... but you know what your local cops are like better than I...

 

I don't drive in this but 2,000 a year max so the mpg's I'll survive on and in south carolina you can pretty much do whatever to your vehicle because we don't have inspections, The only vehicle I own with a catalytic converter is my 2012 FJ, and I have friends with 14.5" wide tires with no mudflaps or flares. Basically as long as you don't have illegal tint or a dead body in your trunk you are ok.

 

So you Palmetto boys roll free and easy? sweet... too bad about the no body rule though... way I hear it up in Jersey it's a standard dealer installed option

 

While cruising up a mountain this weekend and gettting into some situations to try out my winch I got a good bit of water sucked up (Long story) so a snorkel is going to be done in the next few weeks, any suggestions of a good thread or info of how to build and install one?

 

More threads than you can shake a stick at for snorkles.

here is one to get you started, if you scroll to the bottom it'll have a bunch of "related links"

 

thanks 94pu I've been searching through the snorkel builds and haven't really decided yet which one to do. Wondering if people had a certain one they suggested.

 

I made the almost 4 hour trip to Hurricane Creek because I was itching to go offroad and gulches was closed due to rain. My 234,xxx mile motor made it great except when it swallowed way too much water but the rock sliders, winch, and everything went as smooth as possible.

 

Went to Gulches and tackled all of the small things with ease, decided to head home and go big next time and I'm glad I did because after about an hour of being in 4x4 with some friends near my house my front diff gave up the ghost. Well I haven't had time to take it out and check due to me coaching a little league baseball team after work most days but I am pretty sure I will put a locker in while I am there, does anyone have a suggestion for the best locker and keep in mind I'm not trying to spend a ton of $$$$

 

Looking good man. Im glad to hear that it made it up the mountain for you trouble free.

 

Sounds like a good test for the new "luggage Rack"



Nice runner!

 

Broke my transfer case, I wish it hadn't happened way out in the middle of a muddy field but luckily my buddy pulled me out of the rough area I was in and was able to 2wd it out of their. I am going to buy a used case and then swap it out with my old one and repair that for a back up. Does a transfer case off of an automatic trans fit my manual trans?

 

I plastidipped the whole thing
