Taking off my flares I got a great idea. I sprayed them with PBlaster before getting started, then coated the bolts with anti seize. All of them came off but two. I just ground them off and welded a 1/4-20 bolt to them.

I want to make some things also. I'll probably buy an l&l fab front and add a few bars to it and make a tire carrier for my current bumper. i want sliders too

I've got one of the Lincoln 120v welders you can get from Lowes or Home Depot and its great. Wasn't too expensive if I remember right. And you can even hook it up to gas.

Picked up my wheels and tires today. They're in even better shape than I thought they would be!!! Treads about 50% and the spare is 100%!!! Very little dry rot. Got all five for 250

Got my shacle relocators from HD off-road engineering. read some great stuff about them they use the uni frame bolt slots used to mount a hitch as an extra mounting point and there's a ton of adjustability built into the brackets

i wanted a set of canyons or ravines from the get go. the guy had an 06 LJ that he just put 33s on with a set of soft 8s... i was almost ready to put those polished silver mb wheels on scarlett....im glad i found these.

ima plasti dip them black and search for an oem tire carrier when i get the chance

i wish it was next monday..im aiming to be done with the lift by the end of next tuesday

eventualy im going to build a dakota bastard back for the rear to get rid of the aal...im thinking about maybe staying a 3 inch and running 33s.after i kill these all terrains
