You win nothing haha.

With that control arm mod it allows for a smother ride and more drop because the arms don't hit the shock mounts now.

He got the lifts at a local parts store Lordco.

Well I finally picked a color for the Jeep. I went with a Custom Green. I still need to come up with a name for it, So I'm open to suggestions.

Here are some pics of what it looks like so far.

The bottom portion of the Jeep and the lips around the fenders are going to be black, same as the Gas Door, and the Large Sections of the Hood that I haven't painted yet.

I also found another set of 35x15.5R15 Bias Swampers that I might trade my old 32s for, But I'm not sure if those tires will fit.

Well all that is left to paint is one of the Mirrors, a Door Handle, and some black in the Tail Gate.

Well seems like a while since I've updated you guys. I ended up taking the jeep out for the day to get rid of a bunch of crap in the yard. Drives pretty good for un-balanced 35s. The latest work I have done to the jeep is start putting the roll bar in. I also swapped out trailer hitches form a Hidden Hitch with the flat bar style receiver to a class 4 Reese hitch. I then mad a Tire Carrier that slides into the receiver.
