Super Shopper Special

[HillBilt]

Compared with the old yellowed out headlights those LEDs are going to be as bright as the sun.

Yeah they're pretty rowdy

you could polish those lenses with some super fine sandpaper and get them looking a little better

Maybe worth a shot but might just get some amazon front lights for it

looks pretty close to done, how much more you got left to do before shake down run ?

Got a few things done on Saturday to make the Jeep mobile again. I need to move it out for a bit while I go over the snowcat before winter is in full swing.

Steering ram mount all done and painted. I am getting some slight contact on swaybar mount from the drag link, noticed some paint scrape. Clean it up with a grinder.


Trans got a service and plumbed oil cooler. I replaced the factory inline check valve with a strait through fitting

Dug the junk out the other weekend to get back on it



Started fender clearance on the rear. I’ll start with cutting it to the door, it should be enough but if not I’ll do the door clearance mod. It’s a lot more work than I’d like to do though
Found some previous mall curb damage behind the plastic.

Cut the door apart. Don't waste your time.

I’d chop way more out of that rear wheel well

Ill have to do a travel test to confirm but the tire will clear from what I can see so why do more work than necessary?
The door mod is alot of work and will have to do something with the bottom door trim as it will need to be removed, either buff it up and paint match the scuff or go hillbilly and bed line the bottom black. This is going to be my wifes daily so Id rather not have it look like shit

On a side note I finally tested the ARB twin compressor, its strait up gangster way better than that single piston peasant shit, so when the jeep sucks on the trail at least Ill be able to fill everyone's tires up double time

I ordered a drive flange for the rear output on the Tcase from Tom Woods so I can run a 1350 series CV. It’s strait beef.


Had to pull my Tcase out again as it was leaking between the trans, sealed it up and slapped back in.
