Ok so I got the front done. Spacers are on. Old shocks back on. I am leaving the sway bar off. Will probably get quick disco eventually.
Its got an odd look now like I have a heavy load in the back.

finally got around to putting the new front end in. i swapped it in and installed the 6.5 inch lift on the front. so now all i have left is to put gears in the rear and a locker, put the 6.5" lift in the rear and install the SYE. here is the progress so far

Did you pick up a rugged ridge steering system, Feels like my rig is getting smaller and smaller. Pretty soon you are going to run out of stuff to do to it.

i got the front bumper from Nates4x4. but i do not recomend buying from him at all! my dad ordered the bumper for me as a christmas present in november and he bought the grade 8 hardware kit for like $30 more and he has still yet to send it. we have called him over twenty times and emailed him just as many and he has not responded to any. rant over
bobby, i dont know what steering it is. it came with the front end when i bought it. it is definitely heavy duty though.
i am now currently in the process of finishing the rear end. i got it pulled out today. my new yukon gears and install kit should be here any time and i am ordering an aussie locker for the rear next week. once that is all installed in the rear end i am puting my 4.5" leaf springs in with a 2" lift shackle. so i should be 6.5" all around by the time naches comes

bobby, i figure once i finish the running gear i can start on the body. i want to get some frame stiffeners, make some rock sliders, get some quarter panel guards with steel tail lights, make some rear tube fenders, get an inner cage made, and that may be it? lol there is always more to do!

i would'nt get anything from RR. i orderd some stuff from them before i came home on leave and put it back in the mail to em. talk about JUNK!, the weld looked as if they were done by a fifth grader and the other parts felt like they were made of pot metal. i have a currie set up waiting at home.
anyway, last week i orderd up a slikrok style bumper from aj's offoad, should get to the house in a few weeks. on that note i have five weeks left in this dump of country. i cant wait to get the hell outta here, i can already taste some good chow and mmmmmm beer.

I miss the food more than anything else, well maybe the selection of food. I have a way better diet deployed than any other time. But the same things everyday of the week do get old.

MISFIT go sparingly on the complimenting of 98CherokeeSport's rig. Brandon already has a big enough balloon head about his Jeep.
