i didn't get to the front suspension because the steel yard didn't have what i needed, but today i removed the inner fender on the other side and then mounted my fuel cell, i also figured our how to mount my new fuel pump. is there anyway to hook up a fuel gauge to the cell? the floor cut isn't quite done but you get the idea.

Sweet Jeep!

You may want to look into a shackle relocation bracket to fix that shackle angle. I wouldn't even want to drive it with those angles. A good shackle angle would be about 45 degrees out the back of the jeep. I can't wait to see how the rest of this turns out.


nice truck you got there too!

1500? Come one if you are gonna use it as a tow rig 2500 would be much better. Good looking xj though

yea ita a 4.7 and yea its a 1500, i didnt get i as a tow rig its just my daily driver, and like a i said i will be flat towing anyways. as for the lease since mine is a corporate lease it is unlimited miles and includes all maintenance and insurance in one payment so its a really good deal , and no i am not using the factory fuel pump i bough a be2000 inline and then will buy this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-3262/ which should let me us the factory fuel gauge

correction, drop brackets are skyjacker. you can see them on there website as they come with some of their larger lifts but idk if you can buy them separate or not.
