I dunno haha, it made its first voyage up and down the drive way, did pretty good. The heater threw a spark and didnt work so gotta fix that, the spark was prolly a fuse poppin

Weds its goin for shafts, I need longer shocks for the rear, and then its a matter of test and tune and install the unibody stiffeners

Looks pretty kick ass man. That thing is gonna be a monster off road. You may end up getting bored around here since I would imagine it can take on just about anything.

Finally got to test it. The steering geometry is all outta wack, its limiting the front travel, so for the sake of time I think I am going to take out 2 inches and run 33s for big dogs, then after big dogs put it back and try different steering setups.

i remember you saying that you had installed your shackles in backwards... which way do you have them pointing because they should be bent so the point towards the back of the jeep like this /

The way I had them in before when the rear would flex up the shackle would hit the jeep, limiting travel, so I reversed them allowing the shackle to move more

Took out the 2 inches and ran 33s for big dogs here is how it sits now, err about 3 hours ago before I tried something

A friend let me borrow his 35s

They fit well, haven't trimmed the rear yet, probably do that this weekend

Now I just need to decide on what flavor I want to run in 35s
