for the rear i used a jigsaw

i deffinitly would advise you to go this route... if i had it to do again i would do the exact same thing...

Climb that rock wall... That would make for an awesome pic... but pretty sure you would **** someone off.... That is a great pic though... Awesome looking rig.. Can't wait to get my lift on my Heep and get the rims/tires.... will be trimming very similar to yours when that happens... OH and you said you will be a slave to your dad for a while for the rims/tires... noting wrong with that... at least you can get away and enjoy your time away when you drive the Jeep with the rims/tires on it... Oh yeah and I def. think you should get some more of those decals and sell them... I really want the XJ decal....

thanks

I also have some ford injectors in the mail and some tow hooks in the garage, kinda boring updates but I really need to figure out my 8 mpg and im hoping the injectors will help...

I also have some plans for slapping some disc brakes onto the 44, but the budget wont allow right now...
