Does anyone have the soft upper sliders for half doors? How thick are they stacked together? Is the window nice or a pain in the rear end or anything is better than that clear plastic flap in your face? I want something manageable for my half doors. Something I could stick behind the front seats when off. I'm just trying to figure out if I want/need the nice windows on soft uppers or just get the old pita style, either way my thinking is I'll just have them stowed unless it's raining. Seems like it's ~320 for soft uppers and ~430 for soft sliders. Tossed_Salad_Man fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Jul 31, 2009 |

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, im looking to get a Grand Cherokee (WJ) - Part of my goals for the jeep would be to get it lifted and take it out on local trails here. After doing some looking around at Jeep forums, ive started to notice a trend, especially among WJ Grand Cherokee's, the trend being the total and utter "brah" fest that WJ Cherokee's seem to be. Stuffing huge subs and all of the Hella lights they can get there hands on into every possible inch of open space. Good people of AI - Will you look down on me if I get a WJ Grand Cherokee? Also, does anyone have any experience with getting a WJ lifted? The most common route seems to be something like 3" springs from https://www.ironrockoffroad.com and some combination of track bars, sway bars and quick disconnects from JKS or IRO.

Installed some Air Lift air bags the other day and I gotta say they're pretty awesome. Originally I got them for level towing but they have really helped out the sagging leafs with just a bit of air pressure, ride is great too was a bit worried about that. It looks a lot better with equal wheel gap all around. Also installed cruise control with some used parts and praying it's gonna work haha.

KickStand, thanks for the link, thats awesome. Feel free to whore your Jeep out as much as possible, I like seeing what everyone does to theres. I have been curious as to why people seem to enjoy piecing together there lifts from various companies like IRO, JKS, Claytons, etc. IRO has a 4" kit that includes what seems to me, all of the parts required including the ones found in the spreadsheet that KickStand linked to. I wonder if theres something I just dont know about those all in one packages

WildFoxMedia posted:KickStand, thanks for the link, thats awesome. Often you can piece together a lift cheaper than you can buy a package. You can also find packages that are good, but they may have one or two items that are not as good as the stuff you can get from other companies. Me, I did it to save money and to get exactly what I wanted without the extras that I may not need.

WildFoxMedia posted:KickStand, thanks for the link, thats awesome. People like to go to different companies because they can piece it together slowly when things go on sale. Example being teraflex springs for WJs being on closeout right now http://www.teraflex.biz/products/spring-4-frt-wj.html $35 per spring. Sure why not With the 4" lift your really pushing the suspension out of wack to the point where you need some new control arms. I would say anything after 3" go with long arms and all the supporting modifications and just be done with it. Then you dont have to worry about dropping money on lift after lift. I would have just upgraded once directly to long arms if i hadn't gotten laid off.

With the 4" I was actually planning to do the long arm - which IRO has a kit for. It does make sense to piece items to together, especially if you dont want/have the money to drop potentially $1200 in one shot for just lift.

I think I'm going to go with hi-line fenders and beefed up control arm all around, and some really good shocks.

I got the doors off, and I have to say that I just love it. I was driving around with no shirt on yesterday after swimming, and it was even more fun! It seems like you get a lot more Jeep Waves (tm) with the doors and top off, too, but it could just be that there are a lot more Jeeps out on the roads right now. Anyway here's a lovely cellphone pic, since that's all I have. I'm trying to decide if I want to wheel it this way, or whether the dust will kill me. I also repainted my Bushwhacker flares with a rattle can, they look much better, but now I have to go get them dirty again.

1.75" spacers on up front. Looks much more awesome now. I really think hi-line fenders is the way I'm going, probably aev and get the heat reduction hood while I'm at it. http://www.aev-conversions.com/products/highline/ http://www.aev-conversions.com/gallery/albums/Highline_Body_Kit/DSC_3146_d.jpg

Philip J Fry posted:Don't the popo get all up in your poo poo for not having a side mirror? Not in Oregon.. or at least I haven't been pulled over for it yet. I checked our laws and found ORS 815.235, which says that if you have an unobstructed rearview mirror on the windshield which displays up to 200 feet behind you, no side mirrors are necessary. If I ever do get popped I will find out for sure, but I plan to at least cite that law and see what happens.  Edit: New pic to show off my unreasonably strong rear bumper. The steel is over 1/2" thick. You can also see that I had a lovely grab handle on my rollbar... the stitching was loose after 2 days, and it broke on day 3, and the person who was trying to climb in drat near ate a faceful of pavement.  More edit: VVVV Virginia appears to have the same law as Oregon, saying nothing about side mirrors as long as the rearview is unobstructed. Here's a JeepForum thread which outlines the side mirror laws for each state. Some of them are vaguer than others, but many (like Oregon's) are pretty explicit about it. The only thing I recommend is that you not let other people drive your Jeep if it has no mirrors, because other people are always idiots.

ManicJason posted:This is technically illegal in Virginia, but zero cops know or care. I just find it weird how stuff like that is so strictly enforced in some states while not even an issue in others, particularly mud flaps and flares. Our current laws for those here in WA make pretty much any new truck right off the lot infractionable, let alone heavily modified vehicles. I'd be pissed if I lived in a state that didn't allow you to have your doors removed.

Can an 07 GC run 32s with stock suspension/offset etc? Got a guy wanting to buy my tires, but I don't know anything about the GCs. Stock GC tires are 245/55R17 (29.5x9.5) and my 1300mile takeoffs are 255/75R17 (32x10)

Too big. Stock's 245/65. 255/65 will fit with no effort, but from there something's got to give. If he's planning on lifting it, up to a 33 will fit with 2".

Is the window nice or a pain in the rear end or anything is better than that clear plastic flap in your face? Stacked together they're probably 5 inches high, not something I'd run around with fulltime. I'd be afraid of them breaking with bouncing and rattling. Got a bikini top from a friend who ordered the wrong thing, and it was cheap so he gave it to me. A little long for my taste, I think I'll get a shorter version next summer. Clamwacker: Thanks for the Oregon sidemirror link. I've wanted to remove the doors but was given some bad info. I'll print our the ORS and leave it in the glove box. I've got the same type of grab handles, mine have worked well for > 2 years with no issues. Where are you riding in OR?  Click here for the full 960x720 image. The zombie response decal gets alot of attention. All good.

FYI for anyone thinking about ordering parts from Storks Automotive, don't. 2 out of the 3 parts they sent me for the cruise control were the wrong parts, which wouldn't have been the case if they pulled the parts off the correct year XJ like they said they would. What a pain in my rear end.

I've bought two sets of tires from them so far, and the ATs that I bought has one tire severely out of round and are freakishly loud. I've yet to call them on it because it's not on my DD, but they have a two year warranty if you have any problems. I'm still thinking about getting BFG AT clones from them. I had some of their old OTR MUD tires on my Bronco II trail rig and they were awesome. A real soft tread that gripped onto anything when you aired them down, but way too soft for the road.

I'd buy remolds over retreads. I mean, Goodyear 4x4 tires [mt/mtr/gsa/etc] are out of round new from the factory  I can only imagine how bad they are after retreading them. That being said, if it is a trail truck then no real big deal. Highway miles on the desert? Make sure you got two spares with you  .
