    Dude that thing looks killer man! Again, that axle looks great and everything done i love it. Great job 😁 Definitely some inspiration to get ready and get going on my Lj! Just need that 240v ran in my garage, Once i get some time and money ill start tearing my garage down to do so! Atleast my axle is prepped and clean just waiting to get parts installed! Any sort of clearance issues with that Truss at your set bumps?Im only planning to do a 3 inch lift 1.25 Body,but im wondering if the truss would smack something at full stuff, especially with hiline fenders ! Id like to do a truss since i would already be there doing all that work ! But many on the wrangler forum seem to strongly disagree against a truss🙄.....I'd atleast do the C Gussets and maybe weld the swaybar links to the C's since black magic brakes sells a kit for it and call it a day! Just brewing up ideas before i pull the trigger and get goin

    • @HardEarnedBacon
      @HardEarnedBacon День тому

      Thanks! I don't see any possible clearance issues with the truss with my setup. The truss adds 3.5" to the top of the axle tube but my crank pulley and oil pan and everything is 5" higher than stock. Once I get the 35s on I will flex it out and see what hits and add more bumpstop if needed.

      My angle is going to get a lot better with the HP 30 so I haven't bought them yet but I'll need them eventually anyway.

    Nice video. Just did a 1" body & engine lift on my YJ. For the 2 radiator supports, there is an easy way to get them installed. You can pry off the old ones without taking the screws out. For the new longer ones - do one side at a time: leave the screw in place, grease up the screw and the upper hole of the new radiator support, put the radiator support in place -hold it in proper location as you lower the the front of body onto the radiator support (I used a floor jack) - the weight of the body will plop the radiator support onto the screw for a secure fit.

    Bacon, thanks for posting this. Sad to hear that Swag is yet another "influencer darling" company hawking Chinesium gear at "Made in USA" prices. Love your finger brake build.
