Directive51 - WK2 Stealthhawk

[Directive51]

Thanks guys.

Looking good!! Do you have the light bar temporarily wired? Or just waiting for the rears to do it all at once? Been considering a front light bar, as well. So just wondering how well yours works.

Thanks. No, it isnt wired up yet. My sPod came in last week, and I am waiting to install my Rigid Industries back up lights before I wire everything up.

How do you like the Rough Country lift? Is it just the front & how does the Jeep ride?

It really doesnt effect the ride at all. You just notice that you see more hood. I will be installing an OME 2" lift in the next week or so, and I am curious to see how that effects the ride.

Also, the drawer is in. I found a trekpak that fit perfectly into one side. Now I need to measure the remaining compartment and order some pelican foam. I also installed a Midland Micromobile MXT275 for trail communication. I went GMRS as I also do some OPFOR work with law enforcement and we all use Midland handhelds.

Drawer so far:

A lot of people ask me what Directive 51 means, and why I decided to use the name. I was a bit of a prepper before Tom Clancy's The Division came out. I am a big fan of overlanding and airsoft, because they are fun, but also because they are great practice for SHTF scenarios. That said, I loved the story of that game, and it made sense to me that if I was going to build a bugout/overlanding vehicle, that I would do it S.H.D. themed. Its still a work in progress, but here it is as of November 2018.

**Before someone gets offended by the holster set up, just know that that is only for when I am out on trails by myself. Otherwise, my sidearm is always on my hip.

Do you like the MOLLE plate mounted there? Any issues with it?

Tell me about your wiring. I'm new to the Jeeps and had a 4Runner which was really simple. The Jeep seems more complicated. BTW: I'm not super mechanically minded, so pics help.. LOL.. Great build..

2" Old Man Emu lift installed. Had to go test it out.

How far off did that lift throw your alignment?

 

[Directive51]

Bad enough that we threw it on the alignment machine immediately after installing the lift.

Nice looking rig. I am just starting with mine. Do you have the quadra lift air suspension and how does the 2" lift work with that?

No, I have standard spring suspension. I think Rocky Road outfitters is working on a 2" lift for quadralift, and it will be the first one that I know of.

 

[Joey83]

It looks so much better without chrome.

Nice..I’m getting suspension this spring...what tire size are you running?
