- In today's video, we finally start making more room for the 35s. Continuing the journey to no rubbing on stock, uncut(ish), fenders. Join me as I take the grinder to my Jeep again and head to the trail for some testing and fun!

Atta boy...knowledge...and you tried it yourself...big up!
Thanks! I do all of my own work. This modification is still working for me to this day.
I agree. A little more bump stop. Your Jeep DOES have a great stance!
Thank you! Probably will end adding longer bumps for its next phase, but for now it at least worth experimenting with full up travel!
I have 35s on my wj with an arb locker up front. This is my favorite setup. Looking good.
Thank you! Sounds like you have a solid setup too! I love the current stage of mine, but its definitely far from done.
I appreciate your videos showing your attempt to keep from cutting up your rig, I also have been working on a super clean wj, 2002 with just 85k miles, running a clayton long arm, made the same a adjustments you have made in an effort to not trim the sheet metal, I don't believe you would lose any capability with a bit more bumpstop,, it'll be worth it. Safety third... take it from someone who knows,,, star wearing a decent set of gloves when you use that grinder
Thank you! And I agree. At some point I probably will need to do some extended bump stops. But it’s at least worth experimenting in the meantime. And I’d say other than a couple small areas, I’ve gotten it pretty dang close as is. Has worked quite well for me offroad.
And honestly, I usually do wear gloves. Not sure why I wasn’t here. The guard must’ve been doing a good job that day.
Safety third man. Awesome video, keep 'em coming. Jeep looks mean from the front.
All about safety over here on Engineering Overland. Thanks man! Appreciate the support.
That's your cherokee Theme song,,lol
Looks great what types of bump stops y’all running and have lifted 4inch IRO WHAT BUMP STOPS. critical path!
Thanks! I’m still running the stock bump stops.
You need IRO shock iliminators front and good to go
That area looks fun! is that your backyard?
Yeah! Nothing too crazy for offroading, but still like to go mess around out there every now and then (and comes in handy for stuff like this). Working to make more fun/challenging trails.
Put some longer bump stops .so you dont get in to everything.
Probably what I will end up doing at some point, but for right now I wanted to see how well I could make them fit with the full up travel. I've got it really close now, other than that one corner.
Please make a video of you wheeling.
I have a couple on my channel already but definitely plan to make plenty more! Some good ones planned for this summer!
Nice work, do you have any lockers or gearing?
Thanks. Currently just varilock diffs and stock 3.73 gearing. The next phase of the Jeep will be changing that.
If you're worried about scratching your wj don't take it off road....... 🤣
Don't see your point here
@@engineeringoverland that's not my problem that you can't see the point.
Which is as follows, when you take your rig off road it gets scratched if your worried about it getting scratched don't take it off road.... 🤷 What's so hard to understand about the point I made? Did you drop out of school or something? That's basic comprehension. I mean explained like you were 5! 🤣 Put it this way. You don't go around sticking metallic items in wall sockets because you don't want to be electrocuted. The same logic applies here, it's basic common sense. If you don't want to scratch it don't take it off road.... 🤣🤣 Hope for humanity is slowly depleting due to your incompetence!
Sick wj man what size lift are you running? Gotta be 6+ inches. I'm about to put Clayton long arms under mine at about 7" of total lift.
Thanks. This is 8" of lift.
Had to subscribe to your channel I lost you there for a while but I have a question for you are you running stock axles for your 35s
Thanks for subscribing! And yes, for the mean time the axles are both stock.
Can you give a little more info on your bumper. I’m sure you built or built onto it I have an 04 that I’m struggling with what I want to do
The Bumper actually came from D Till Fabworks, but I have also cut away a lot more material in the front than required. There are several options for bumpers, but if you're looking for something as functional as possible I would stick with D Till, HK Offroad, or Trail Forged.
Well thank you did real well for 35's so not having to cut the fenders I wouldn't want to cut mine either butcher the truck they look good just the way they are
I agree. Definitely worth experimenting first before hacking it all up. A tiny bit more bump stop and it would honestly be perfect, but even the way I have it, I’d say it works pretty dang well.
Thanks for your reply I look forward to watching more of your platforms for I have prescribed now
I'm curious, what was your anti-sway bar setup for that?
JKS quick disconnects up front. The rear is still connected. Both stock sway bars.
What size wheels are you running?
17 x 8.5
What lift, and what mod in the rear?
8" Rock Link. All I've done to clear in the rear was trim the bumper and modify the EVAP. You can see exactly what I did here: th-cam.com/video/aMcuZyNE5VI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EngineeringOverland
What are the build details of the jeep
I get this question a lot and probably should make a walk around video explaining everything. But in simple, I'm running an 8" rock link long arm kit, 17x8.5" wheels and 35/12.5 tires. Varliock diffs front and rear.
Wich lift kit you install on it?
8" IRO Rock Link Pro
Music is too loud
Just adjust your bump stops ..problem solved
Whenever I feel like modifying my factory bump stops or someone sends me some adjustable ones, I'll do that. For now, it hasn't been a big issue.
