WOO-HOO! Finally wheeled the Jimmy!

[blowedupmotor87]

Well, it's been over a year since the I bought the rig and the motor blew up two weeks after I bought it so, I was very excited yesterday! We went to URE (Uwharrie National Forest ORV trails, NC) for the Jimmy's first run! It was the first time I've ever wheeled a manual and I was very nervous but it worked great! With the 465, doubler, and 4.56's the crawl ratio and gearing choices are awesome! Here's a pic:

Will post more pics soon!

Glad to see you finally got it back together and out. Mine's been sitting for what seems like months. Hopefully, I'll get it out in a week or two.

Post up the pics already.

Hope ya get yours back together soon! I got to test out the sliders ya made me! They worked great! The rear bumper looks great too!

Here's some more pics, I have yet to load the pics from my camera, I have tons of pics from other stuff that I have to weed through too, so here's some pics that others took (we had 5 vehicles total, a great group of people!).

None that I could tell, the front fenders are cut and inner fenders massaged, and the front suspension is limited to about 3.5" uptravel due to draglink end/leafspring clearance. Any more uptravel and the leaf spring could slam the draglink when turned to full lock, as I have 3" of lift with crossover steering.

Just for the sake of pic whoring, here's how the Jimmy looked a little over a year ago when I bought it. The date on the photo is WAY wrong, took me a while to figure out how to set it. :
