I've followed your build over on pirate4x4.com I'm insanely jealous of your fabrication skills... And you job. Awesome work so far and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Considered naming my 99 Gold Classic but you definitely earned the name. I hope mine looks half as good as yours man. Even your videos are better than mine. Love the jeep and what you do with it

Finally had some time to work on this thing..

put some Bilstein 2" air bumps in and some Ruff Stuff Specialties 14" limiting straps












whipped up a new coolant overflow since I had to relocate to access the top of the air bumps..







Also made a new skid for the trans and xfer case since I blasted my other trans pan last time at Gold Mountain.



And some hard parking at a friends shop Leadfoot Offroad around the corner from my shop..
