HAHA! no I have been working on getting it mechanically sound first. Just got done putting the header and new injectors on it and just got it running today, It has been down not running for about 2 months now. Still got some more stuff to do to the engine before I can work on suspension, breaks ect.

And next it is to install them after A fresh coat of Super silver to match the decal, since I plan on painting it back on after the paint job in the future.
BUUUTTTT First I had to do some Cutting
And this is how it will sit after the 6.5 inch long arm lift
Final product!

First weekend down at the beach with the bumpers and I had to put that rough country 9500lb winch in use for my buddy with a CJ7 on 34 inch super swampers.
The winch worked great!

I do know though that a upgraded alternator is coming soon, the truck would drop to about 8 volts under a load with the winch and the engine reved.

Alright here is how it looked with the old engine mounts and me, my brother, and my buddy cortney trying to pull the engine forward where it "needed" to be.
