My black DD build

[Bigbike]

So I blew the headgasket in Aug, and its just about back on the road. In that the mean time I bought another daily driver a 97 BMW 328is. So with the Jeep I now want to:

-Install rear shock hoops, new to me rear leafs, shocks, and buy some shackle relocation brackets

- fix steering, Order thesehttp://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/TREOFF.html, do Hydro assit.

-Maybe a new front bumper

-I really want a 4:1 tcase or the Doubler that Justin is selling

-Start a cage (ateast b pillar with harness bar)

[Bigbike]

Hasnt been since late august. Hopefully this DD last a while so i can nt drive the Jeep around.

Updates!
I finally replaced my rear leafs with RE3.5s that I got from Josh H. at OER.

I did this....










I am going to put a cross bar in there that is removable(like Andys Tacoma build) and a tire mount(like Wills). Gona get some big rubber mats maybe truck mud flaps to cover the holes and then cover them back up with carpet.
