Well i've been here 4 a while now, and it's time 4 me to start my build thread... i've not done alot (mostly repairs) but i'll throw those in for substance....

 

whats your plan for your build?

 

restore body, 3.5in lift, 31x10.5r15, roof basket, front bumper w/winch and maybe a rear tire carrier... so far i put a cold air intake 4 a Honda civic in it and fixed the floor boards. I'm looking for a pair of inexpensive leaf springs (stock) so i can do just a shackle/ spacer lift I'll do more when i have more $$$

 

if you were close i would say you could take my 3.5 inch lift leafs

 

i will pay 2 ship those lift leafs otherwise imma get a set of shackels from autozone... 39.99 so... anyway i got the roof rack done on my jeep it looks cool...

 

i got the lift kit done yesterday, the front isn't done i gotta figure out how imma get it leveled out.... no pics of the install (gotta one track mind) but here we go...

 

i took the back down to 1" cause it looked stupid b-4 ugh, anyway got to get more parts 4 the front...

 

you could always get rubber spacers for the front to bring it up. i got 3 inch spacers on my jeep an when it was just the spacers and stock springs it felt like i was driveing stock but gave me some lift.

 

yeah, i got the front done i got some 2in spacers on ebay, that was more work than i thought it was gonna b... anyway i'll get the updated pics on here tomorrow.

 

heres the new pics of the jeep as of today...
2in spacers on the front.
1in blocks w/ 2* shims in the back
roof rack w/ wal-mart lights and a 46" c.b. whip
one is kinda a before pic so...
***BTW, always disregard my time/date stamp my camera never saves when i change time & date sorry***

 

i had some d-rings laying around so i made some brackets to put them on gotta love welders...

 

Lookin pretty good.

Did you make any sort of support for those d-rings?

 

i just cut some holes in the bumper the supports are 5 inches long and they are bolted 2 the frame... i decided to weld around them 2 keep water out (hopefully) and so someone can't really see how their mounted.... and yes i suk @ welding...

 

Ah gotchya. I was just checkin. It looked like you just welded them strait onto the bumper. Haha

 

naw, that's a good way to pull that sucker off... i am however going 2 have 2 replace the drivers side bumper mount it's gettin pretty rusty (i hate Indiana)
