CT99XJ's Build thread- the birth of Mean Green

I see you're making some good progress.

took it for a shakedown cruise- i need small wheel spacers with 33's that actually have tread because I'm rubbing up front before I get to full lock. Possible solution is a 3/16" temp spacer to get the idea, then replace the studs and have my buddy mill some spacers out of aluminum. might just say **** it and go 1.5" on each side with spacers that have new lugs. Opinions are welcome

Holy old.

Some serious updating to do. I put it facefirst into a telephone pole December 2010...

Fixed it, built new steering for it out of 1-ton Chevy TRE's and some DOM and threaded inserts.

Went full doorless.

Then it sat until three weeks ago, due to wiring issues and a cracked head. I replaced the head, replaced the entire main body harness, replaced the e-fan and clutch fan with dual e-fans, installed a Griffin radiator... mounted my tires onto factory Jeep wheels, the Ravine style. I'll put up some more pics once I get everything in order.

Sucks about the pole meeting!

Looking good, did you ever get the 4:10's in?
