00:04 - So John, we had a chance to talk a bit on the hammers,
00:10 but didn't get a real good chance
00:12 to see how you built this vehicle.
00:15 So show us.
00:17 - We run a sway weight shocks in this.
00:18 This has our coilover kit,
00:20 where we take the standard coil and shock
00:23 and you make it into one piece.
00:24 So the coil and the shock are one piece.
00:26 Notice this has got a remote reservoir
00:28 that's mounted up in here.
00:30 Another important thing on these Jeeps
00:31 is we try to keep the bottom as flat as possible.
00:34 Notice here, it's got a custom skid plate.
00:36 It doesn't hang down below the frame rail.
00:38 You know, so when you're rolling over those rocks,
00:39 you're not gonna hang up on nothing.
00:41 - Kevin, you've done a lot of work on your CJ2A.
00:45 Why don't you show us?
00:46 - All righty.
00:48 I started out with a YJ frame.
00:52 I like the square tube.
00:53 It's easy to weld things to.
00:57 I do some jumping and it handles the jumps pretty good.
01:02 I've got air bump stops here to take up when I land hard.
01:07 I've got a big fuel cell because in Moab,
01:12 I do a lot of long distance Jeep trips.
