I plan on finishing the trimming and painting it when the rain quits. Then I'll install a budget lift. It will be around 4 inches. Then 31 10.5 tires. Trying to do it as cheap as possible but still be functional.

That's a lot of sanding for something that's going to be 'trail duty.'

Lol. I know!

It had to pass inspection from Ga DOR. I m using a very economical paint enamel just to get everything the same color. It will be a desert tan and black paint job with a satin clear coat.

Started on the back. Made a bastard pack out of more Cherokee springs. Gained around 2+ inches. Shackle relocation brackets will be built next .

Old leafs before being cleaned up.

Jeep needs to have a decent coat of paint on it to pass inspection?! Remind me not to move to Ga. Looks like you are on your way to a good build. Ought to put this in the build thread section.

Not that type of inspection. Fortunately we don't have that hoop to jump through where I'm at. Desert tan flat. First coat.
Primer.


I had to apply for a rebuilt title. After fixing it.

Cooler installed.
I am no pro by any means! But it will do for my intended purpose. Transmission service and cooler install coming up.

Cut off factory shock mounts and reattached higher up for better ground clearance and to make factory length shocks work.
