Looks good. Is the back a lot lower in person? It looks pretty low compared to the front.

Its not as bad in person, but the spring pack with the AAL has seen better days. The front coils are more then 4/5" too which isn't helping. They might settle a bit though.

Yea, do you plan on doing new leaf packs?

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

This summer definitely. I would do it now but I'm short on money

[crosbike]

wow. looks really good jon. now go wheeling and break stuff. you ever figure out your gear ratio for sick 8.25 swap?

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

In between the rain storms I wire wheeled and scraped the rust and flaking undercoat from the underside of the Jeep and went through in 2 places . I least I now know where my floor leaks. Starting Friday evening I still have to:

-Install extended brake lines
-Spray undercoat
-Drill and tap frame for rock sliders
-Remove rear sway bar and possibly front if I can't figure out how to mount my disconnects up and out of the way without using bungee cords
-CB antenna cable (If time allows)

Looks good, I don't know how I managed to miss this entire build.
I'll be running easy trails at RC... Assuming my jeep doesn't break down.
Where abouts in West Haven are you, im there daily, dont think ive ever seen that rig.

Looks good dude, i see my sliders fit fine. Glad to see they have a good home.

[ninetysix-ex-jay]

This afternoon I installed the drivers side slider (that fits great thanks Kyle ) and undercoated the mid section of the Jeep before I ran out of undercoat. I don't have any before pics only because I'm sure you guys know what a rusted out under-body looks like.





forgot to throw that one in the mix last time

[crosbike]

oh man its almost like you wheel

[Kyle]

Watch out with that front resi location, i used to rub my tires at full stuff right on that corner, i mounted mine on the flat under the air box and battery tray, worked great.

I haven't had it completely flexed out yet so I still need to see where my tires rub the fenders ect.
