Was behind you in traffic today in Covington and saw the sticker on your back window. Figured I’d subscribe. Awesome WJ man.
Thank you!! Awesome looking Plymouth Superbird you got!
Sweet drone work in the opening clips
Used to take my Comanche out there when I was stationed on Whibdey Island. Love that park.
And I love the Bible Verse! 👍
Glad to hear!
Just got a wj limited 112k miles and wanted to put a lift now Ik which one going with👍
Congrats on the Jeep! Those are some low miles! Honestly, it depends on your budget and your plans for it. If you want decent offroad capabilities for cheap price than the rough country 4 inch lift for around $700 is pretty good or the zone lift kit that I'm currently running which was also around the same price..
Very nice wj, what is the make and model of the front bumper??? Hoping for more videos 😉
Thanks! I got the bumper from Ebay, the name of the brand is Vijay. You'll be able to find it relatively easily.
@@epicpnwadventures Thanks for your reply, I'll take a look. 😉
Great video! Does your jeep have the veri- lock system? Are you using the stock front drive shaft?
I love watching yourwj because I have one just like it only stock, but a 4 inch zone lift has been ordered!!
Thanks! Yes, it has the vari-lock system (Quadra Drive). I swapped the front drive shaft from a rzeppa style to a double cardon for better strength, which is also found on a lot wj's so I just pulled it off of one. That's awesome! The lift is great for the money, the only thing I wish was stronger were the bushings inside the front lower control arm that are part of the kit. The bushings tend to come out during an extreme flex. I'm thinking to upgrade them soon.
Finally you're back with a video! I thought you guys dropped it!
We got more videos in the pipeline, it's just it takes a while to edit them.
@@epicpnwadventures oh I feel you, same here :)
Man what size wheels are those? They look awesome!
Thanks man! Currently running 33's on 15inch steelies
@@epicpnwadventures Oh nice! 15s fit over the factory brakes?
How is your zone lift holding up? My lower control arm bushings are shifted after 3 months and the track bar is flexing bad at the lower bend.
I am having same issues lol but for the money can't complain, I'm surprised it made it this far with the amount of abuse it handled!
My dumbass thought there there was a belt problem but then I saw the drone, ha.
Nice flex! What tires did you manage to fit? 35"?
And the next step of the build should be front and rear e-lockers ;)
Thanks! Currently running 33's. Yep, planning to do lockers in the near future.
Haha dope, I got an 01 limited v8 Quadra drive w/ double cardan. I already pimped her out with lightbars roof rack, winch mount in the stock front bumper. F*ck it, it has 111k miles so why not. Just need a bigger lift.
Bout to get the zone 4” lift soon. Probably getting the IRO control arms tho. I just found a 247 Tcase might just slap that in aswell.
Quick question, should I upgrade to the fox shocks or are the zone shock decent enough for awhile. And if you have any other advice lmk. Would luv hear brobro.
WJLYFE 4 EVER (until you blow ur engine) lol
Nice! Yeah i had to upgrade the control arms on my Zone lift kit as well. The fox shocks are probably way better, but i never tried them out so I wouldn't be able to compare but the zone ones aren't too bad either.. I would also recommend on getting sway bar quick disconnects, they completely change the offroad experience as the front axles moves way more freely and you get way more articulation.
@@epicpnwadventures oh ok. Ya the zone shocks are basically BDS and BDS are made by Fox so they should definitely survive like the rest.
The zone kit comes with front lower control arms right?
Which ones did you replace?
I got sum quick disconnects already. There perfect for my type of wheelin.
So is Zone lift kit worth the $700?
Yes! For the money you can't go wrong with the lift especially if you top it off with the sway bar disconnects links..
well I finally had to turn it off.
I did enjoy the video, but the last part was way too much drone noise
No worries, we are always trying to learn and improve on our end. Thanks for the feedback.
I'm running same lift with Core arms and Gladiator Fox shocks.
Nice! That's a smart way to upgrade the shocks. Might try it out.
What drone is that ? sick video bro !
Thanks bro! I have 2, the mini 3 pro and the DJI Avata fpv.
Do you still have the rear sway bar in that rig? These can't run a true 33" tire on a 4" lift without tons of cutting and relocating the washer bottle. Also should have done lockers before the rest but you'll probably have to get non vari-loc carriers first.
Yes I do still have the rear sway bar. Yeah a ton of cutting for sure. But so far love it. The varilocks are definitely better than having open diffs but eventually want to upgrade to elockers.
@@epicpnwadventures throw the rear sway bar away!
What about RC 4” lift kit price is essentially the some??
Yeah pretty much very similar cost.
What is the wheel setup
33's on 15inch steelies
@@epicpnwadventures looks amazing...is it a 4in lift?
@@Carlos-ip2ir Yup 4in
Haha first comment 😅
Just because you got 4 doors doesnt mean bring a sausage factory with you. Unless thats how you guys roll i guess, not for me.
