When installing the riv nuts use a grade 8 bolt, grease, and an impact wrench! Works great & does not take all day to install! Lazy man trick! Similar set up on my JK! We lookin good! Later
WOW! What a transformation! You have taken that jeep from a level 1 to a level 10 performer. I hope to see some wheelin soon to prove your work. Don't be surprised if there is some adjustments to make. It comes with the nature of the beast.
Love it Wally....you did great job.....1997 Tj here ...watching and planning much the same...mine is a rust bucket...i just did a frame job...Im wondering about your wheel..tire...lift combination...I'll look around to see 👀 if you mention in your other videos....thanks for the info...congrats on a great jeep build😉
Most of my build info is in my video descriptions. Currently I have a metalcloak 3" lift up front and 3.5" in the rear. The tires are 35" mickey Thompson baja boss M/T tires. The wheels are fuel coverts. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, me too. Downside is right after I bought the set of 4 they went out of stock before I could get a spare. I waited months and finally broke down about 3 weeks ago and purchase a black steel wheel so I could have a fill sized spare for my Michigan trip this weekend.
I’m really trying not to turn into a fanboy, but you’re making it real difficult.😁 The TJ is looking awesome! Really looking forward to the overland videos coming. I think you mentioned your rear bumper/tire carrier/safari rack in a previous video. I’d really like to get your opinion on it, as I’m looking at the same setup for overlanding. Thanks!
Haha thanks man I appreciate it! If I get atleast one fan from this then I won't feel like a complete idiot for spending so much time making the videos. I actually plan on doing a few smaller videos soon including like a complete build video and separate small review videos for things like my bumper. The brand is LoD offroad. It's an American company out of Indiana. Short answer is I like it and would recommend it. I do have some complaints though.
@@TeufelHundenTJ I don't have any. I paid full price. Tell metalcloak you saw my video and that they should give me a discount code for my viewers to use lol.
IMO, the armored-up look is awesome. It performs even better for the TJs that see more than an occasional dirt road. Some who prefer the lowrider-29" tire-bone-stock look may not get it, though. 😆
@@dillonmendonca2804 now that the jeep project is wrapping up I'll be able to put some more time into the R2 this winter. I've been working on the jeep for like 6 months straight now
@@dillonmendonca2804 I'm 3d printing it slowly lol. I'm going to complete it static first with lights and then go back and do the rest of the electronics later on I think. Or atleast that's the plan. We will see what happens. The jeep and TH-cam kinda ate up all my free hobby time this year
Looks great man! I just finished the complete set myself last week on my LJ. My rear fender is the bracket only tho, not the wrap around like yours. What size wheel & tires do you have???

If you live in the rust zone, spray the inside of your tub with fluid film or something similar. Really helps keep the rust down...
Fluid film is great. However I bought mine way to far gone for that. I will be using it on the new jeep though

I already know I'll be adjusting the bump stops and I'm sure more will pop up. Thanks for following along!

Don't forget to fluid film everything underneath when the rust is fixed...
Love those wheel's.

@@WheelinWithWally Haha! Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to your upcoming vids! Oh and thanks for the info on the bumper.
@@SOS_ADVENTURES no problem! Thanks for watching
I want to do all of this to my tj this summer
That's awesome man! I really like how it turned and I think you'll be happy with it too!
That looks AWESOME!
@@B-Rad666 thanks! It all came together really well
Fully armored looks awesome 👌 👏🏽
Thanks! It took me a minute to adjust to the new look. I'm a big fan of the stock TJ look but I do love how this turned out

Yep! Mickey thompson baja boss m/t 35's.

Yeah some of the armor actually covered up trail damage on my jeep lol
Always enjoy your videos, but side note, is that a r2d2 top you have on your table? You holding out on us?
Hahaha yeah it is. I mentioned it a few videos ago because it was on the table. I have to many hobbies 🥲
@@WheelinWithWally lol I know the feeling.

@@WheelinWithWally did you buy a kit or 3D printing it? You gonna do full electronics or just static prob? I’m a jeeper and nerd too lol

Very cool setup. What’s the rims and tires you have on your TJ?
Thanks, they are fuel coverts. Mine are 15" rims
Like the look 👌
Thank you!
Looks great man! I just finished the complete set myself last week on my LJ. My rear fender is the bracket only tho, not the wrap around like yours. What size wheel & tires do you have???
I have 35" tires on 15" rims
Doesn't use body mount bolts?
Nope. You just have to drill a bunch of holes in your rocker panels.
How did you cut those tabs off? What did you use and how much did you cut?
Anything with a cutoff wheel will work. Dremel, grinder ect. And I just cut them flush so they weren't sticking out.
