Yeah I crossed it out... neigh-eve new jeeper that I was. Its only been a year since I've owned it but I have learned a lot. More is not always better I plan on building it slowly as needed. Maybe one day it will be armoured and on 37s maybe a set of 12inch co's but not till I learn how to weld and whatnot. I figure mods on an as needed basis is probably best. For now rock sliders, skids, bumpers, winch, are on the short list of the big things. One thing at a time though As for the control arms I heard some bad things about cam bolts although my kit came with them. I opted not to install them and the ride has been fine. no drive shaft vibs and the steering is fine. Eventually the extra flex will destroy those stock bushings so when that happens I may need a set of lowers but for now she's working good.

Hi there, your right it has been awhile. I got caught up in school and working on the jeep and forgot about this thread. After lurking for awhile and seeing some big time builds and learning what my rig can do, Im seeing that the original plan is obscene! That being said Ive done a few things to make it more capable and I'm really liking the way its turning out Here's what I've done so far I took 2 days in a driveway and installed my lift. I went with a 3 inch BDS lift with Fox shocks and slapped on a set of 35 inch Toyo Open Country M/Ts on a set of flat black pro comp 7069 wheels. After riding around in this for a month Im loving the way it rides and handles for a lifted jeep, and the gas milage isn't too shabby either. Hopefully I can get out on a run and really test what she will do Excellent. Looks great bud. Much more reasonable and useful vehicle than the 1st list. Keep workin' at it.
