Tell me about it!
I thought of replacing the sunroof with a universal one and building up some rubber so the back would seal, and working the rear 1/4 so it looks ok... But I don't really like jimmy rigging stuff.
It's a great runner now and the suspension is fine... All cosmetic crap.

Well.... WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!
I thought for a minute, what could I do to seal the back end without straightening the frame.... So I got out a 4' pry bar and went to town... Here is before and after... All I need now is a new seal!
I can keep him now that the exhaust doesn't come in the rear hatch!
I could care less about the dent on the 1/4 panel... I can fix that pretty easy.... I was just sweating the exhaust coming in.

I'm looking into lift kits again.... I can't piece the lift together for what I can buy it for.
Looks like rough country will win in the end. I can't see paying $239 for shipping on a rusty's kit. That would bring my total to well over $900. But that's with adjustable lca's
I can get the rough country kit for less than $700 shipped. I need to find the shackle relocation brackets though. I'll use the difference to help buy tires $ wheels.
Let's be honest here... Lol I'm prolly building a mall crawler anyway.
