mocking everything up before paint so then i dont need to mess things up. got the fenders all trimmed up and the bushwhacker flat style fenders mocked up as far as i can before actually installing them. a little time consuming but not as difficult as i was expecting it to be. only got pics of the one but all 4 are done

tore apart the rear, taking everything off i need for the lift. dealt with some rust but managed to take everything off without breaking too much lol also started on the front. taking it apart and putting on the lift. I'm basically gonna be rebuilding the front, with new bushings and ball joints with spicer products i already have and maintenance on the axles and all that good stuff. slowly putting it together but hard to focus on the project with other work stuff getting in the way. but it'll get done




had everything apart so i sprayed it all with the undercoat stuff i have to freshen and clean it all up

did some front end work today. replaced the ball joints with new spicer ones, new precision hubs both sides, new axle shaft u-joints and new slotted and drilled rotors. and put on the 1 1/2'' wheel spacers. getting my tires in tomorrow and can move on to the rear.

I'm jealous of that undercoating. I wish mine looked like that under there!

got a lot done today, sanded down any rusty spots underneath, caulked all the seems, reinforced the back part of the frame for the bumper brackets. and sprayed underneath the entire jeep. looking very clean and fresh. putting the rear axle in later and installing the lift kit, and doing a brake rebuild
