The Stretch ...

[NaeKid]

Well - its been almost 3 years, and, at the beginning I stated that I will not modify my new LJ .. I am such a liar

The day I picked it up:



Mostly still stock - just a new back bumper



Installed a fuse-box and tool right beside the fuse panel



Proceeded to drive across Canada



Installed Aussie locker



Installed Airaid throttle body spacer



Installed 1 1/4" wheel spacers



And with a 2" RE lift, I fit my new 32" BFGs



No close-up pictures of my Bushwacker hood and fender protectors, no close-ups of my head-light guards or my tail-light guards. No pictures of my door sill and tail stainless guards. No pictures of my air-bag setup .. but, they are all on there. Just ask, and I can add more pictures!

Congrats! I have a 350z that got me with the mod bug and when I bought this I started spending the same day, .

So did that Throttle spacer help out with the touchy go-go pedal!

When I ran the stock tires, in first gear it was really jerky .. 2 gear wasn't much better. After putting on my 32" tires, it really helped to smooth out the drive. The throttle-body spacer seemed to boost my gas milage by almost 100km / tank.

Right now my gas milage has dropped significantly / tank. I will be doing some maintenance on my Jeep - new spark plugs, clean my throttle-body and spacer. It might be due to my 32" tires - but - I might as well do something to see if I can make it better

So - I made some new goodies for my Jeep. I replaced the rear bumper again with another design and this weekend I fabb'd up a new front bumper. Its not finished yet, but, it is getting closer.

I will be capping the bumper-ends with some 1/8" CheckerPlate and I haven't decided if I want to put tow-tabs on the front or build a stinger. If I go with the tow-tabs, I will design them to be a steering-box protector. If I go with the stinger, then again, I would want to protect the steering box from impacts.

The front bumper looks really good! Just add some d-ring shackle mounts!

And what's with the title? I was hoping to see a cut up LJ w/ stretched wheelbase

Having three Jeeps in the household each one has been given a nickname. This one has finally settled on "The Stretch". My white one is "The Monster" and the little lady's hasn't really been named yet ... still have to come up with something better than That damn thing is broken
