Looks real good. Your pride in your work shows. Gonna be a nice build!

Thanks guys! The rockers aren't prefect, but its a Jeep! I could have spent another 10-15hrs getting the rockers perfect, but shes no beauty queen to begin with so I figured it was good enough.

I'm getting the spacers and fender flares back on tonight, hopefully have new pix tomorrow. I hate that its getting so dark so early now....

Update! Wheel Spacers and fender flares
 
Got the 1.25" wheel spacers installed last week and put the stock fender flares back on. Prepped the drivers side for paint on Saturday, went to paint on Sunday and it started raining! :furious:

So I improvised and made a little shelter!

She is painted now, however it was getting dark by the time I finished. I will take some pics later today. Also! I got my lift in today. 3" spacers for the coils and 2" shackles for the rear. Its a cheapo job right now. I'll get a real lift kit in the spring (rusty's offroad 3" w/spring pack). Cause believe me, those springs are hurting after 237k miles.

Was able to snap off some pics before it got dark:

If that isnt the coolest headliner on a cherokee, then show me otherwise! Also, I painted the roof black... pictures soon....

Juustncase 11-15-2010 08:51 AM

oh no!

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...1_132489_n.jpg

So i got newer spring packs from a local junk yard, cleaned them up, painted them and put them on the jeep this weekend. It rides so much better than my worn 240k springs.

Top spring is before prep, bottom is after:
