For far too long ive had the baby jeep of our group. Now all thats about to change. Just a quick re-cap with: I got the Jeep before i even had a liscense so I cought the bug early. I got a Rustys 4.5" AAL lift kit for my 16th birthday. Ran it for a while on 32" AT's since it was still my DD. Then i got into wheeling a bit and stepped up to a 33" BFG Mud Terrain. All was fine and dandy until i found a killer deal on some 35x14.50 Boggers and its been all downhill since. I retired my jeep as a DD and got me a beater Honda and ever since, ive just been gathering parts letting them collect dust in my garage...until now

Old pic on 32's




Then on 32's with Bushwhackers (which lasted one trip)







And then the bug hit me hard. I wanted tubes








I began wheelin it more and more so i figured id get myself a locker






Then i stepped up to the Boggers

I wheeled it like that for a while and then the bug hit me again. I wanted to go bigger...Sooooo....37" IROKs it was! And while I was at it i figured id pick me up some beadlocks







Im going to be building my long arms so this was just a temporary fix until i get around to plating up the frame and all that





Added 2 inches to the front




Added Rough Country Adjustable Uppers with Johnny Joints





And who doesnt love stickers





And I couldnt resist

Boggers were already sold before i could even take them off lol. I hacked up the rear bushies to fit around my tube work but wound up ripping those back off again (damn rocks ) The front ones are still good though. Im sure you could just order the rears straight from bushwhacker. I'd let the fronts go for cheap

Hey, you have any rubbing issues in the front. I am thinking of running 38s and that I will have to move the front axle forward 2".

$50 and some shipping. I have an account with UPS so it should be cheap. Also, I have all the hardware and the instructions.

Yea ive got to cut out some more of my front fender as well as my bumper right there where it wraps around. Im probably going to cut it all the way to the header panel. I stretched my axle forward about 2" to clear the rear of the fenders when the wheels were turned and thats why it gets into my front bumper (only when flexed though)
