Carolina Truggies JK Build

[blownJK]

where did u get those pimp tail lights

I believe Alex carries them now, the one building the Jeep at Carolina Truggies

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Yup, I can get them for you.

sweet jk

Well I'm considering the rear of the Jeep to be finished...aesthetically and functionally...I'm pleased with the look...nice and blacked out. Alex was knee deep in the front end this week getting the sway-bar mounted and coil-over perches started...so should have a Jeep standing on it's own soon

Looking awesome . I really like your rig and cannot wait to see the end result .

Are there any magazines interested in this build yet ? Great story and an amazing build .

I'm waiting until we get a little further before I start contacting them with pictures

UPDATE

sway bar installed

bumper/grill hoop

BIG UPDATE
The suspension is officially done, from here we finish the steering, fuel cell, brakes, bumpers, and sliders
We were actually very impressed with the amount of flex we got out of her, the tire in the air measures about 53 inches off the ground ....with room to go, we couldn't flex it any more because the body was about to hit the lift ...very cool pictures I hope you enjoy...cause WE DID
I'll start with me standing next to it with my goofy cheezin grin , I stand at 6 ft tall to give you guys some perspective on the amount of articulation we get ...don't mind the pink ribbon...gotta save the ta ta's

and theres about 2 inches left in the front coilovers! I'm happy with it.

finished product of air bumps, also some more work on the skids

sorry for the extra crappy photos...something happened to a couple of them

Also a shot of the spare sitting on the back so we could judge coil-over settings with the weight of the tire back there...shit looks bigger on the back for some reason lol....

 

[95yjjeep]
