Thanks for watching!! In this video i show you guys some sweet upcoming projects, some current projects, and of course my Jeep on 40s with factory springs!
I would not recommend running 40s on a Jeep with no lift, but dang it looks sweet!
I will be installing a set of Rock Krawler 3.5" Triple rate springs and im excited to see how they perform compared to the Metalcloak springs ive been running for the past few years.
I might even drop down to 2.5" springs depending on how i feel about the 3.5". Once i figure out my lift height i will start working on the DIY long arm build for you guys!
New Inner Fender liners are from Hyline Offroad! www.hylineoffroad.com/jeep_pa...
I mentioned that my next video will be the hydrualic bumpstop video... and i actually just finished up that video today, and man they are sweet!! Stay tuned for that video soon.
lockedoffroad.com/ for your bumpstops, 10% off with the code JKbumps.
I used the 2.0x2" pin bumpstops and the threaded.
www.tmrcustoms.com/jk-rear-hy... for the rear hydraulic bumpstop mounts!
Stay tuned for more cool Jeep mod videos, i have a lot planned with little time haha.
I am still trying to plan some offroad group trips for this summer! This year i will be mainly doing east coast locations, so let me know in the comments where you would like to go!
Untill next time,
Keep on Jeeping On!

Nice dude. Get the rainex wiper fluid, that stuff is awesome. Every time you clean your windshield, you apply another thin coat of it. I never have to rainex my windshield anymore.

@Keaton0801 5 жыл бұрын

Where I live in Georgia, wiper fluid can be hard to come by, at least wiper fluid good for below freezing temperatures. It's all summer fluid here. I would not use it in my jeep (when I finally get one). That's becuase when it does get below freezing, the wiper fluid will freeze, and any fluid in the line can split the line open as it freezes. That can be an expensive fix in some cases, not sure how expensive it would be on a jeep though.

I decided to go with Artec for my 1-ton swap kit, mainly because I hate theft, and Barnes stole Artec's original design (they are going to patent their latest Apex design), and was hoping my 3.5" Rubicon Express springs would enough lift since Artec recommends at least 5" of lift, and this reinforced my decision. Nice job. I see we both went with progressive rate springs. I broke my neck in the Army when I was 18 thanks to the stupidity of another 'soldier', so really sensitive to a harsh ride.

That is true, however when your axle drops, that pack of stacked springs opens up. So it creates a “longer spring” and also continues to keep a continuous pressure on the frame

I like the lower look of the Jeep and should help with its performance. The hydraulic bump stops seem pretty sweet. Bummer about the drone. Nice job Ben loving the vids bud👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@JKGearandGadgets 5 жыл бұрын

The roof water noise is an easy fix! Take the freedom panels off, there is a little weep hole on one side, flip the top around until you find the hole and water will come out, last time I did that I had about a cup of water in them 😂

If you're riding on bump stops, you may have more static compression on those stock coils. Get someone to measure their stock coils in their buckets and compare to yours. To bad you didn't measure the static height of the MetalCloaks before removal and then do a static comparison to the RockKrawlers installed. To reflect on the inner liners interference, you're replacing them? You've got a welder, grinder with cutting wheel....just cut out that angle in the DV8 liner, flip it around and weld it back up. Don't forget to place a liner light in it as well...

Not in the immediate future mind you; possibly the next 18 months, I'm considering going to 40's. Your title says no lift. No lift from stock? Or no extra lift from whatever you'd already done? Because I watched another video right afterward where you mentioned a 4.5" lift. Mine has a mild lift, most likely a leveling kit. What else did you have to do to get 40's? I've seen some videos where people talk about body work mostly on the rear.
