ah, yes, the pictures. Let me know what you think. I realized the 33's vs 32's weren't an EXTREME difference. But they ride nice.

Default I'd like some opinions.

I'd like some opinions on what everyone thinks about my build, It's cheap, I haven't thrown more than 300 at the lift, and it rides alright, and it does pretty good off road, what do you all think?

Just read through your thread. For what it is/what you wanted to do (budget build) I like it. Not too expensive, and still easily able to have fun with the thing.

It's a great build.
The cheap builds are the best. They're the ones you remember and wish you had back once they're gone.

Thanks, I tried to make my jeep as capable as possible, as good looking as possible, and as reliable as possible with the least amount of money.

So, I got these mods put on a while back, I totally forgot about them. So here's they are, Blaster Coil SS, and a $40 intake system, and a home made heat shield from a 92 Rodeo.

Default Last Chance

I took a trip up to a place called last chance canyon, got a little lost on a detour, and hit some pretty insane terrain at times. Great day though. Here's some pics.

does the coil give you a noticeable improvement?

absolutely. It was a big difference. I wish I had the money to get the msd ignition control box. that gives you multiple sparks instead of one big one. I hear that they make an insane difference on top of the coil. yeah, that's a relay cover though. I mounted my vacuum reservoir on top of it when i removed the flares and under siding and bumper caps.

thanks man. I got this jeep a long time ago, and decided to make it how i like it. So, I just thought and searched for anyway i could get this thing more legit with VERY little money. The lift itself only cost 160 bucks. free leafs, coils i traded for the old busted d35 i had, bought shocks, unfortunately i had to buy new U bolts, got those for 60 bucks or something. the tires are the most expensive part every time. I'm gonna buy an Iron Rock Offroad Critical path Long Arm kit. (insane flex) and i'm gonna get some new tires and whatnot.
