Finally got the lift done. Took way longer than expected. Decided to go ahead and keep my shackles and coil spacers from my 1.5" lift. Added my 3" to it and wow I must say 4.5" is way better haha.. Got my t-case drop kit on and I'm gonna ride it a bit before deciding to get a sye. So far no vibes or anything rides pretty smooth. If I start having issues I'll def buy the sye. Installed new 31x10.5x15 General Grabber AT2s. Had an appointment with a guy to do window tinting, but he canceled and won't return phone calls so looks like I'm gonna go somewhere else for that.

Went out to do some light trail riding today. Came across this to test the flex. It seems I will have to trim a tad bit in the rear it rubs ever so slightly on the back side of the wheel well. But overall the new lift is awesome.
Starting to take off the plastic on the bottom of the doors. Driver side is still on but passenger is already off. It was falling off so decided to go ahead and rip it off and sand the paint before I roll on the herculiner.

Thanks! I've got plans to build a rear bumper. I can get steel from my work for scrap price which is .09$ a lbs. What's awesome is we have .187 gauge all the way up to 2 inches. I'm gonna fab up a roof rack that's beefier and and tire carrier mount for up top also.

Looks like a really good start. Keep up with the updating man. Don't get discouraged if some posts go with no reactions, someone's always looking.

Oh I will, thanks man. I've got to put up pictures of it, but before I done my lift I swapped to a open radiator system. Completely solved my overheating issues.

Looks good for its age. Ive had my 89 for about 2 months and its been a lot of weekends in the garage. But its all worth it. Keep up the good work

Thanks I appreciate it! And yeah it shows its age under the hood mostly. I've replaced a lot of wires and vacuum lines already. Roll Tide!
