I guess ill update this build a little bit.
I dont even know where to start with all the different things we have done.

We went with new JKS shackles in the rear a while back to replace my old rubicon express ones that had no life left in the bushings.

Fabbed up a nice n simple strong rear bumper
Brackets that beef up the rear unibody. uses flat stock where a hitch mounts and gussets up to the mounting plate where it is welded into the mounting plate. then the bumper bolts onto that




cut the rockers out and completely welded 2x6 in




Put Currie steering up front with a lunchbox locker

diff covers




We ripped the rear out last night last weekend and put a fresh coat of paint on everything. also new u-bolts, brake lines, and leaf bushings. also finally put the purple steel braided line on.




only problem lately has been the damn yoke on the rear end. wrecked 2 at rausch. and then another last week. gotta track down a yoke with u bolts(nitro shows them on thier site but cant find anywhere to order them), or find u bolts i can drop into a yoke i drilled out(cant find the right size u bolts).
ill try and keep this more updated because i know there is a shit ton im forgetting about.
But ill leave this thread with some wheelin shots
