So everyday i have been hearing " whats with the car" "wheres your jeep" " why dose it say under construction" so heres some pics of my build up. First thing was to buy a beater (selling it after a friend wants the motor): 2'nd thing was to remove the old susp (5 inch kit with fabtec shocks) and deliver it to Alan, along with my 8.8, 4.56 gears and TJ D35 to have the brackets choped off and welded to the 8.8, removed the Dana turdy 35: ordered some parts, like new coils front and rear, gears for the front D30 and install kit, wheel spacers for the 8.8, and Currie joints for the custom arms being built: Shocks will be in by the end of the week along with the other Currie joints for the front arms. heres some pics of the coils next to the stockers.: all thats left to get is longer brake lines and build a front trac bar drop bracket (frame side) everthing else is on order....i think .....still undecided on tires leaning towards the 35 LTB's when everthey start making them.

front control arm drop brackets? so shortarms with 10" lift? why not longarm if you are buying joints and having arms made? the rear angles for the CA's - what's that, over 45deg? cudo's on the 8.8 and gears.....but your suspension

i was going off your sig. 10"
classic case of not doing it right first, and ripping it all off and making twice the work.
