Well its time to start my build thread on my heep of a jeep. I picked her up about a year ago from a buddy of mine that was getting ready to deploy to afghanistan. I bought it for 500.00 and drove it home. There was nothing wrong with it when I got it and was in pretty good shape. I then started to mod it. The pictures pretty much explain themselves.

and these are the trucks i used while in Iraq in 08

Well i picked up some 3/4 emt conduit today. i'll be making that this week and im getting a new lift from xj-nick so this week will be full of work. also doing some wiring for sneekeepete.

should be a pretty busy but productive week! I can't wait to see what all gets done!

Well i got the bottom part of my roof rack done today. going to finish it tomorrow afternoon as well as throw on my new to me rear leafs that i bought from xj-nick. maybe even have time to re-do the front coils and drill my trackbar relocation hole. busy busy. also put bumper caps back on that i got from sneekepete. Its coming together. slowly. lol i'll post pics tomorrow!

Hit me up tomorrow and I will see if I can help you with anything. If nothing else I can try and be a tool gopher man. Oh and I will see what I can do about getting you the cross beams that will actually fit your rack when I talk to the junk yard about the axle, tranny, and driveline. I am excited your build is coming together bud!:thumbsup:

Yeah if you are doing any work on it, you should definitely throw them leaves on so that you can get some positive lift over them blocks man. But I really like what you have done with it, it's coming along nicely man!
