so after the lift i was content. i want 2" spacers now but havent looked into that yet for 6.5" of lift. so then here are some poser shots. then drove 2 hours up to treverton mountains to meet some ppl and go wheeling. not bad up there. everything we did as easy because we had to drive them home. got done work at 4. went wheeling til about 6am slept in jeep for an hour. im 6'2" and i dont fit well in the back of mine. definitly bringing a tent next time. then drove home at like 8 after going to a diner for breakfast. but it was a trip to remember thats for sure haha. almost flipped my jeep going down a hill sideways. trust your spotter. then there are some pics of my friend that i got unstuck with my jeep. he slid off the trail and into a stream. then the other is a friend who lost traction and didnt have enough clearance.pulled him out. pic time

then after all that just pretty much have been driving it how it is. i lost the brakcets for my hella lights so i went to sears and rigged some up. hey they work so dont hate on em. its a jeep not a ferrari its allowed to have some duct tape is places haha.but just recently put the roof rack lights on. going to mount two more on the back of the rack so i can see where im backing up. and blind the **** out of tailgaters. put two switches in the dash for the lights. added a streamlight stinger flashlight and charger a cobra cb with a huge wilson 1000 whip antenna. works really well and thats about it at this point in time.

but thats how she sits about now. im 20 years old and in college so dont have alot of time or money for parts but just a slow build. just trying to learn and its a daily driver project. future plans are get a hi lift jack,new rims, two lights on back of roof rack, take end caps off bumpers and cut them in a v pattern, build a front bumper(since i have no clue how to weld or fab and want to learn), get a winch for it, eventually rip up the carpet fix the rust that i dont know how much there is but am scared to look, bed line the floor and leave the carpet out. and just keep it forever thanks for reading. im going to make a walk around when i get a camera for Christmas so stay tuned.

Love the build so far, the part about the blazer made me chuckle. Very ironic that you got rear ended by a jeep. It was meant to be.
