About a 6.5 lift with cut outs will give 38's room, maybe more but yes axles are a must

Only been in the shop an hour and I've already got one frame mount done and the hitch receiver burned through the 2x5. at this rate I can start painting in a couple hours.

Sounds like you have the wrong vehicle to make into a mud bogger then... find a full size Chevy or Ford with a V8. Slap some 14" lift springs under it with 44's and go.

I hear yea, but 36's are some beast tires and you can run them on a 8 inch kit all day with nothing cut, but I say do it!

my dayly driver is a 1977 bronco ranger XLT with 4 inch lift and 35's this is a turn heads project that i wanna do on a budget.. ( reason for custom everything) and i dont want a fullsize rig to start with cuz of the extra weight.. my jeeps light enough to not sink in bogs narrow enough for the local trails and cheep overall.

bought 2 connectors for my cb cophasing harness. Gotta wait till next paycheck to get the 75ohm cable to complete it.

Decided to paint light covers since I'm completely broke and can't waste any gas because I got a new job site 30miles away. That's a whole tank just to go to work for the week!

Painting the letters blue and the whole covers black. Trying to incorporate more blue and less red.

I need you guys to buy more of my junk so I can do more mods!!!

Screw peoples' opinions! LMFAO People tell me I can't have a reliable daily driver be a lifted JEEP and I just ignore them and keep doing it because I can with the right design for any given problem. Sure it's a s*h*i*t load of work but the result is a beauty.

Just picked up a Currie HD steering upgrade for $300. The rig's still at the paint shop, so I can't do the install for a bit. Thanks, Craigslist. That was money I hadn't planned on spending this weekend! Ha!
