Really all I wanted was to get out of the toddler lift, I'm just excited for my lift to get here with it's bigger tires, just preparing it now for a better looking jeep, I love these jeeps, anyone want to start a jeep shop?? I have so many days off and I'm really wanting to start a jeep building and customizing shop.

I didn't get the tires yet, they didn't come with. A little disappointing since the shipping cost is so high, I will be taking tons of pics
