Pictures from the beginning to now:
Over 3 years ago getting the 6” Teraflex Long arm kit and fenders installed. Wow was that powder coat shiny.




Old wheels and tires on:


Almost decided to cap off the rear bumper, but a spare was needed:

That is one awesome jeep. I noticed you are running the TeraFlex 9550 shocks. I recently upgraded to the same TeraFlex suspension, Ben from Tera talked me into the Elka shocks. I have to say, that is one impressive shock. I have run the Tera 9550 shocks, and the Elka's are sweet. Just a fellow JK lover, passing on a good piece of equipment. :)

To justify my comp cut.:thefinger: Honestly though, several reasons for it. My rear geometry is slightly skewed and my springs are rubbing my trackbar quite a bit. Also, Im sick of my them bowing in so Im going to correct it all at once; this will help. I should have done this in the begginning after my longarm install. Also, I still want to be able to stuff my tires w/o cutting any more of my pinch seam off.


Two questions:
1. Have you done something to the engine that I missed or running stock?


2. What job do you have at 23 to pay for this monster, it's incredible!
Stock engine all the way. You ever see a lifted minivan? Well, Im basing my build off a 2003 chrysler town and country crawler.:D

Legal drug dealer... Literally. Im interning at a pharmacy right now, while my wife brings in the bacon. And hey this isn’t an all at once ordeal; I’ve been building up this jeep for over 3 years in phases and parts here or there. I finally just got around to posting about it. Oh and I get all of JPTwinz parts when hes done getting them for free. LMAO

A dana 70 and sterling 10.25 are two different axles. Also if it is a sterling then there is no way it has 5.86 gears. They do make 5.86 gears for a dana 70. Also if the front axle is high pinion they don't make 5.86 gears for it. I am not trying to hate on your build, so please do not take it that away. I like where you are going with it. :beer:

So a little update from the weekend. Had a friend come over and got the old balistic fab brackets off. Decided to use the oxy propylene cutting torch method instead of hours w/ a cutting wheel. Also, was able to get the front smoothed out w/ a grinder, but still have to smooth and prepare the rear. Still waiting on brackets, but plan on having them welded by the end of next week. Gonna use the Lincoln 305d you see in the picture. Should come out pretty clean and strong.







Most kids watch TV; my boy would rather watch us work haha:
