What are you plans with the build? Also in that side picture the front seems to be lower than the back but that's probably from that cow pusher you have aha

well in terms of plans I have for it I'm planning on doing the 3-inch lift and revitalizing it I also plan on getting new 32 inch tires probably mud terrains and either putting in a separate fuse box so I can run about 12 lights on it (with a upgraded alternator and a heavier duty battery) and two (lights) on each side two in the rear and then 2 on the brush guard 2 on top and two on the front of the grill. I also plan on making a special skid plate that covers the majority of the underside and the reason it's sinking up in the front is because the front left tire is low LOL

Why on earth would you need so many lights? 12? Whoa. What lift are you looking into? And any plans on swapping the bumper?

lol, it's mostly because the Jeep is going to be built similar to how my father built his 1976 international harvester scout II with a 10 inch lift. But you could use it for parties too 😁

i want to use the Jeep as a lead vehicle with my friends and light up the area around us, so we can see whatever is in the immediate vacinity. And I don't know if I'm going to go for a rough country lift cause the one that is already in the Jeep is still good, it just needs to be checked out. And the bumper I plan on either beefing up or removing it altogether

Wrong on both accounts bud, check out iron rock offroad, zone offroad, Rubicon express or rustys for some higher quality yet reasonably priced lifts. Rough country has really good marketing that's about it.

So kinda early early Christmas eve morning update (MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!) I got a spare key made for ironside, gonna try to sand out a spot on the roof and put some primer on it. I'm also going to remove the damn stickers, which thanks again guys for the tips on that, and possibly start ordering some steel for it.
