I really like rear tow hook idea, def something I'm considering doing. Did you just bolt them on?

What's next on the to do list?

 

Yes, they`re bolted directly to the frame. Of course with grade 8 bolts, like everything on my car...

Next projects are:
-air shocks (should arrive today or tomorrow)
-rock sliders
-maybe a front bumper
-half doors
-onboard air

 

Do you have any more pics of how you relocated your Charcoal canister? Interested In doing this.

 

I`ll take a few when i install the shocks.

It`s really simple. The rear bolts are in the same seam but moved inside the frame. The front bolts are attached to the swaybar mount with a bracket. Cut off the old lines and placed some new ones...

 

looks like it's coming along nicely.

been meaning to ask you, how do find those tires?

i'm sure they work amazing in the mud, i'm just wondering how well they handle in the rain, how much road noise you hear, etc. any idea on what the life rating is for them?

 

This is the company that produces those tires: http://www.tagomtires.it/

They drive nice, no handling problems on the street. They`re a bit load between 40-50mph, but it`s ok at other speeds...

Live rating should be great, I think it`s around 30-40k miles...

 

Here`s how i mounted the charcoal canister:





The airshocks showed up today:



It was a major pain in the *** to remove those upper mounting "bolts" from the shocks. I didn`t want to destroy the shocks and don`t have a press...

Mounted:



I used some grade 12 bolts to mount the shocks, so this is gonna hold up...

The air valve:



Ride height now:



Good bye old shocks:

 

how did you manage to get the upper brackets out of the shocks?

 

A lot of WD40, a sledge hammer and a bench vise...

 

Lol sounds annoying. The rough country shocks u got can with new ones already on there. They really dont make nice shocks for blazers with those things on it
