Well I bought some more paint and I must say it came out better looking and I love the color. First time I painted it red I seen lines but now to me its perfect. I'm still not sure what color it is. But it reshot it today and it came out as a orange/red so ill let you decide and yea I know can't wait till its part way finished. Still gotta clear it but hopefully by Saturday ill have it lifted so I say anyway

Well for all you waiting for me to install the lift, the time has finally come. I started yesterday and so far I just about finished rear just gotta finish tighten some stuff up. Well these bolts where hell getting out considering having all this rust on floor pans the bolts didn't really like me. Well I used breaker bar on everything and just so happen to only break one shock bolt
and my front leave spring bolt had to be cut because it had welded it self to the metal shaft in side of bushing. So I'm gonna tighter everything up and install shocks and brake extender then moving my way to the front.

Well last night I had to relieve some stress and go to hang with some friends..well they decided to make a mud pit and I must say for just using a tractor they did a good job. We had everything from 2wd blazer .. 4x4 Chevy tahao on street tires only got stuck twice but did good and my buddy sweeter 24v cummins 4x4 on new 33's almost burry itself but pulled most people out. I bout took my Honda through but idk what happen to that plan ha . It was killing me not having my jeep and last there was a cj7 built motor going through like nothing in 2wd. Must say nothing better than that v8 cammed motor

Well got a little done today. Got it trailered to alignment shop and got them to tighten and align tires and got them to attempt to tighten track bar caster nut but no luck so called rough explaining the whole story and know come Friday I should have a a new tie rod end for my track bar sitting on my front porch and also redid my bed line on my body to fix the little over spray on the paint so hopefully sometime soon she will be road legal. And what can I say I have a great friend to take time outa his day to haul this around for me. This was the biggest haul he ever pulled and the ole. Cummins did it without a sweat

We'll I got it on the road and I must say it isn't to bad. For 6.5 short arm isn't best ride but it will work. But first day I drive to school I lock my keys in my door. Great plus I have the Honda tag on it since I haven't got it inspected so I had two state troopers around my jeep with me sweating it hoping they wouldn't run my tag but sad part is try couldn't unlock my door. So now after that I had a guy that was like I wonder if my key will unlock your door and what u know. His own personal key unlocked my door and I was shocked. How come his key will work and it wasn't made for it? So now knowing he can unlock my door I'm kinda weiry knowing someone could unlock my door and steal my stuff.
So what's your opinion ? Should I buy new locks or take the chance of him not breaking into my vehicle? I don't really know the guy a lot so I don't know much about him. Give me your opinions
