So like I said a few posts back, I busted out one of my taillights. To me that meant, make the new ones sooner, so thats exactly what I did haha They're not done yet, and I know they look like crap, but I havent grinded them down and I was running out of gas halfway through. I'll post better pics when they're done but heres what I got

WOW! I definitely forgot I had this build thread. Well I've been at school for about 4 months and it pretty much blows. I live with my friend but until I can get a trailer I have to leave my jeep at my brothers because right now it wont go down the road straight. But since I last updated I've done quite a few things and also ordered quite a few things.

Things done-
~Replaced the crappy 1 dollar tailights with some awesome 25 dollar LEDs
~Cleaned up the D44 to get ready for welding whenever I get my Ballistic's Coil/shock/CA combo brackets
~Bedlined the rear metal
~Capped parts of the bed
~Completed the HD AMC 20

Ordered/To be done/to be ordered
~Ballistic Fab Coil/shock/control arm combo brackets
~TNT Customs frame stiffeners
~AlloyUSA heavy duty AMC 20 Diff cover
~Roll Cage tubing to be ordered once I figure out what size I wanna get and where to get it cheap
~Boatside tubing/sheet metal
~Soft top window (anyone got any suggestions?)
~Got the soft top completely done other than the window
~Paint D44
~Figure out steering
~Buy 37's
~Cut off front bumper hoop and bend stinger
~Long arms
~Either 4 link rear or keep leafs
~I think im going to put a stack on it just cuz I have only seen one person do it and my exhaust smells like @#!$ haha
~New dash with guages (metal dash)

The list is never ending so I probably forgot a few things. I'll post pics when I can and keep you guys updated.

Now I got a question I need yalls help on. I wanna convert my Jeep from an AW4 to an Ax-15 or if I do a motor swap something that goes with it. Does anyone have a THOROUGH write up on this? Thanks everyone!!


My Jeep from behind loaded with everyones crap for a camping trip lol



Found a few older day pictures lol

Well today I went to get my jeep to drive it back to where im staying and low and behold someone had tried to steal my jeep, but in their quest to steal it, the dip****s decided to put the jumper cables on the wrong terminals and thus blowing my starter up. By the time I got the starter off, it was 9:25, 25 minutes after Autozone apparently closes in the winter. So now I have tomorrow and the first half of friday to get my jeep ready for Mountainside ORP and I dont even know if I have a trailer yet....wonderful

Also gotta figure out a way to take out the huge **** that adjusts the back angle because it wont fit with the seat belt in, although it shouldnt really matter since I just ordered these:

Theyre JCM Racing 4 Points. Anyone have em or heard of em? well thats about it for now. Im planning to replace both front wheel bearings and hopefully one-piece axle shaft my D30 til I can find a D44 for cheap. Let me know what yall think!
i have a 4 point out of a cobra helicopter i was thinking of using when i built up my rig

Thats badass man! I love the ones I have because the 2 lower straps screw right into the holes where the seat belt was (the actual belt and where you buckle it to)
