no progress once again..family got sick..gave it to me..weeee

Did a little..added tube steps to the sliders, and started the rear tire carrier, can holder. Post pics later

But some good news.
Order inserts from ballistic..fingers crossed for those that know know the story on them

Ordered JJ's from 4 wheel parts on sale, with free shipping

and some 5.5 RE front springs super cheap

2" .250 DOM for the arms from the local steel yard.

Soon as the honey dew list slows down and i have some real time this project can get back on track.

still banging my head on the rear tube doors..cant decide on a design..just the right look i should say.

Link inserts arrived from Ballistic, great quality, fast shipping. No issues, seems like they have the stuff together.

Hitting the JY for the 50% off sale this weekend, gonna grab a frond DS, Dual diaphram boosterout of a 96 and a non disco HP 30 from the same rig.

today i had a little bit of free time to work on the jeep, decided to start on the booster upgrade..but while i was in there i found the lower intake bolts loose..and seeing how with it out of the way it would be easier to do the booster upgrade, i decided to just do the gaskets.
but got side tracked and had to stop.
