The fender cut looks clean. I'd just relocate the washer bottle, cut the back to match and throw some big ol knobbys on it!

I really need to wash my jeep..may do that today and see what it looks like clean. The rims are covered in dirt..but just glancing at em they look mint. I may keep em and rock em and go for the super stock look or swap em..but then again..soft 8s and d windows get old..and i dont wanna drop a lot of cash on something that will get beat on.

After a quick glance under the front end is noticed an adjustable double sheer track bar and bracket. And a rusty gas tank skid in the rear.

Stage 1 of the lift looks like:
RE 4.5" Coils
RE Extreme Duty leafs 3.5"
Boomerang shackle
Prolly some cheap rustys arms
Cheap shocks



You may ask why the cheap arms and shocks?.. well its going to eventually be 3 linked..so i just need something to get by.
Final shock plan is 7100s

Had a walmart gift card to burn so picked up this nice little cobra compact and mounted it. Happy with the mounting location.

Eh..fair enough. You could use it as a whip..but thats a different story.
I dont want a crazy 6 or 7 foot steel whip..just a nice firestick coming from the passenger side tail-light that goes a tad above the roof line
