Unibody getting plated but not sure if i'll buy ruffstuff or just have a local guy make something up
Not sure if im going to relocate the gas tank yet.. We'll see once i get the tires under it. If so i'll probably use a fuel cell

Lookin good. How are the bilsteins holding up? I am considering ditching the DT's 8000's already. They are much stiffer than I was expecting.

Yeah i can't wait.. I can picture it all but I just want it to be done lol. I'm not going to chop it to hell like most guys do either.. I'm going to open the wheel wells a little more.. depending on how much stretch i need to stuff the tires in the rear i might relocate the gas tank or put a fuel cell back there.. i just want to keep it a full bodied cherokee and not an all out buggy.. and yes.. on 39.5" tires lol
