cbielat's 2011 SR5 Build Thread

[cbielat]

since i once owned a jeep Cherokee, im curious to know how well it did.

What? How the truck performs off road? It's a beast. Does really well even if you have open diffs. I've been surprised every time I've gone out. Always continues to impress me.

So has anyone asked about your LCAs? I might need some replacements, really the driver's side, until I can get my LT going. Are you willing to part with it?

Yeah, most likely. Nobody has asked me yet. You are the first.

I call dibs. Depending on price and shipping cost too.

You think I'd just let you get away with some clean pictures of your truck?

Front end is coming along. Need all new camber bolts and everything that goes with that. They are frozen stuck and needing to be torched out.

Do you think my stock lcas will be destroyed after that process? I haven't gotten to see them yet. I know [MENTION=49966]mikey's2010SR5[/MENTION] may take them off my hands.

May possibly have my truck fully operational Saturday 5/9/15 as far as the front long travel suspension goes.

 

[cbielat]

Had to fully replace all of the cam bolts and what goes along with it on my lower control arms.

Quick teaser shot. Almost all buttoned up. Total Chaos Race Version Long Travel Kit with King 2.5" Remote Reservoir Long Travel Spec shocks.

 

[mikey's2010SR5]

The LCA's shouldn't be if it was just the cam bolt that was seized. He will just need to get new bushings and cam bolts and sleeves because that stuff will be trashed, especially if the cam bolt were seized.

 

[mikey's2010SR5]

Probably will just end up sourcing one locally in that case.

Front suspension revamp complete. Drove Dirty Harry The Money Pit home. Poor quality photo but you get the idea.

Shop Sundays - Had a lot of much needed help from my buddy Darren today. He wired up my compressor for my locker. I still need to find a bracket to actually mount the compressor. I'll have to post a picture of where I mounted the switches. Also, it was the perfect time to scope out the new wheel well bling. Already considering a secondary shock. Looks a bit empty lol. [MENTION=51030]joneseyyy[/MENTION], what do you say?

 

[joneseyyy]

[MENTION=76550]cbielat[/MENTION] - If you're going to go, might as well go all-out right? Maybe drive it a while so you can truly appreciate the secondaries when you get them (notice, I said when, not "if")

Do your front tires clear the fender flares on compression?
