Looks great and a good overall write up Keep up the good work!

It's funny to me to see a high lift bolted on a rigs rack. Then ya look at it and no where at all to use it, plus its rusted up and basically unusable anyways Have one bought years and years ago, used it on the farm back in the 70s and still works great BUT its proper equipment , just like the...

Lots of great advice to OP. My wife is from Tanzania and my In-Laws live on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. She has lived in Dodoma, Arusha and Tanga areas, lots of roads that some here would think they were offroading! I know all to well about the wash board roads and how they eat stock...

Only going up that much and one size is not going to have that much affect on anything. Some of course but not that much. You may see a small amount of power loss and gas mileage but again not a lot I've been building up 02-07 Libertys with IFS front suspensions for over 12 years now. Have one...

Ran over 98,000 on a set 265-75-16 Duratracs, never need rebalanced, wore nice and flat, never one issue with them. Went everywhere I wanted to go, Now the SR-As , I remove them within the first 1000 miles, total cheap junk

Good size with the 2.5 inch OME lift on there , should do a great job for you

So how much would a similar rack cost material wise? Looking at the fittings seems pretty expensive by the time you buy them all??

Yes best place for spare is behind the driver, first one I had was on passenger side, huge PITA to see around, all rest were drivers side

Over the years I have had both single and double Most think a single swing is quicker and easier but with doubles it only takes a couple of seconds more really Doesn't take up as much room to open them plus less weight on the spindles etc I'll take a double swing out any day

Just read all the way through, great build good reading Enjoy it all!

No interest? I loving the build for sure Keep the updates coming

They do make more noise so in the mind of some people that equates to more horse power LOL But in real world , save your money

I grew up on a farm and from 5 or 6 on up was helping my Grandfather, repair, do preventive maintenance etc on everything around the farm. My Father was a Chevrolet mechanic for a few years when I was younger and he'd buy old cars, give me a list of what needed done and I'd tear them apart and...

Just met a guy who is doing some construction work here locally thats from New Hampshire. Got to talking Jeeps etc and he mentioned he had bought 4 6 inch Cibies back in the late 70s and just ran across them recently Asked me if I would be interested or if I knew of anyone. Said 100 or so for...

Yes please report back on how you like them. Ride, noise levels ( I don't care but now the WIFE says if they are too loud she won't ride in it) LOL One way to keep her out of it I guess ! By the way what wheels are those ?
