Default His first flex

I know it's not a big flex but I've been building this jeep for the past 3 months and finally got around to flexing it a bit just moments ago. Bought it covered in weeds & sitting on blocks after being parked for 6-7 years in a JY. Engine didn't run and trans wouldn't pull, paint was shot and it was just pathetic. I've been so busy fixing and building that I hadn't even tried flexing it (have only drove it a total of about a mile so far). Any way I have a little hill (old sand pile that the Ivy has covered) on the side of the house and I decided to drive her up it and see how she done. Flexed really well but I see I need longer front shocks now as the passenger side front maxed out too early. Still over all happy with the progress thus far though.


Hoping to finish the paint and get the rack on today

Thanks guys!

Yea I started a build thread but only kept it updated for about 2 weeks, so not much info there... Wasn't getting much response and was taking away from my build time I've taken pics all along the process though and plan to sit down and update it sometime this week when I have the time. I'll throw the link up here a little later when I have time to dig it up. Got to get back out there for another coat of paint to the top
