Here you go!


Low Beams:

High Beams:


There way brighter then the sealed beam upgrades I tried, the H4 Conversions, and the other LED's I tried.


After wheeling and having fun with my current build and my 33's over the past few years my addiction once again took over and the time for 35's was here. 


Before I wanted to run 35's I wanted to make sure and upgrade from my factory rear Dana 35. After looking around at axles and deciding what upgrade I wanted to go with I found a great deal on a front Dana 44 and rear Ford 8.8 both trussed, regeared and with a rear ARB already installed. 


I jumped on them and decided to install a Clayton long arm lift as well. I went with their 4 link rear, triangulated front style lift and love how well it rides.


I started by cutting off and removing all of my factory control arm brackets.

There's no going back now...


Out with the old:

Bye Bye Rear trackbar!


After some grinding and cleaning up we welded on the new Clayton long arm brackets 


I went with the Clayton alignment brackets to make sure I got the angles welded on exactly how they needed to be which made everything a lot easier!

After welding up all the brackets it was time to starts bolting back up.


Everything fit and bolted right up which made it super nice and easy. Parking brake, brake lines, ect.


The only thing that didnt was the factory exhaust. I had to cut that off the stock muffler in order to allow clearance for my 4 link rear uppers. So until I was able to get to an exhaust shop she was purring pretty loud just straight piped out the back


Once I was all done and all bolted back together I went to a local exhaust shop that has done quite a few TJ exhaust relocations for long arm lifts. I never knew it was so common until I started asking around 

It was a bit pricey but they did a super nice job and I am very very happy with it!

It sounds awesome and looks great



I went with a flow master 5" glasspack muffler


Here She is!
