I finally got around to posting some pics of the WJ. Here it is all cleaned up, begging to get muddy.
It is the snow monster, so I call it the Abominable SnowJeep, or Yeti
Yeti is a name for the abominable snowmonster (Nepal/Tibet).
I learned real quick how much I like the MTRs after towing the boat through a 100 yard section of really deep mud. The boat was a mess. After getting a few feet in, I thought I had made a huge mistake.
Time to take a bath and get cleaned up. This is much better than waiting for hours at the boat ramp to put it in and out.

First time out wheeling it.
I don't dare flex too much, This thing needs some serious trimming before I can discover Moab. 315x75x16's are pretty big tires for the jeep. In front of the rear tire will be OK, but something needs to be done about the rear bumper.
Motivation for visiting friends to lift their Grandy. He is currenlty raising his Gas tank and building a rear bumper. He may end up making many of the parts to do his own long arm kit. You can see the beginnings of the rocksliders he is making. They have been used extensively since he has been running in Moab without a lift.
Not to bad of a cruiser though. I really like the feel of the Long Arm kits. Much smoother than I had anticipated.
