^^^ HOLY TRUSS!!! I've never seen a 35/30 look so beefy... again great find.

[Irish_Assassin]

Nice. Can't wait to see it.

[Ghostfire]

Scored a Lowrance globalmap baja gps chartplotter today and a uniden grant xl cb with firestick today.

This project wont take as long as I thought

[Irish_Assassin]

Good for you!

[Ghostfire]

Heck yea man! Im pretty stoked. A little at a time......

So I decided today that the axles WILL NOT be going in right now. The full spool will more than likely with the snow covered and wet roads we have been experiencing. So the stock D30 and D35 will be staying in for a little while longer. :-( it saddens me but dont feel like stuffing the ZJ into a guard rail heading down 25.....

Im thinking May-ish is when I will be ding the axles. everything else should be on by the end of the weekend.

[Ghostfire]

Thanks for moving the thread Miljeep!

[Ghostfire]

Anyone on here ever installed or used a Lowrance chartplotter?

Do I need to know any instal do's and dont's?

[biggoofy]

Looks sweet man!

[Mr.RonGilbert]

Looking sweet!!!!

[Irish_Assassin]

How big did you go? Looks good!

[Ghostfire]

Its only 4.5-5" Still working the bugs out of the front LCA's. I suck at adjusting this shit. Trying to liberate a die grinder or angle grinder with a cut off wheel so I can finish the front bumper.

[Irish_Assassin]

How did you like the flames on MC earlier? I laughed!

[Ricky Booby]

I have not installed one, however, I still have some suggestions.

DO have fun.
DO take pics of the install.
DO post them here.
DON'T screw it up (the pics or the install).

[Ghostfire]

Front bumper installed, and I got the lights hooked up....
