Dude you got one kick *** jeep!!! I'm 16 too and jeeps are my favorite thing in the world. I've got a xj too, but not nearly finished. I've followed your build on youtube too, and i'm really impressed. You got some really awesome modifications to your rig, and i must say i've probably learned more from this tread than any others. Thanks dude, keep it comin!!!

I am getting ready to do one on mine. Anyway its where you get a second leaf pack off usually an s10, Cherokee, Dakota, or other packs and use some of the leaves from both your cherokee and the second pack to make different rear springs. Its basically like adding a leaf to a table to make it longer but instead with your springs.

So that bumper is bad a$$ I've been wanting to make a bumper like that for a while now. Any chances that you went off the bumper from trucks? I think it was on the cheap Cherokee build. But nice work so far man keep it up.

Also you write down any dimensions on that bumper? Or anything like a templet on the front bumper? If so and if you wouldn't mind me copying your bumper pm them to me please!
