So I've been holding off on doing a build thread since I haven't done anything special to my jeep compared to other builds but now that I heading in that direction here we go.

Future plans:
outboard rear shocks
4 Link rear
3 link front
flat fenders (Rokmen)
modify front bumper
WB 100 ish
Fuel cell or stretch tank (Genright)

When I got him in 2009


After some bolt on mods 31's/winch/bumper


I did some wheeling and learned alot



I installed a front aussie locker


and lift kit RC 3.25


SS SYE


Rear locker


Wheeled it some more for two more years



After a few deployments and some reading on other people's builds I decided to get serious with the upgrades
Ford 8.8


35x12.5x15 goodyear MTR K


Wheeled some more




Modified the rear fenders


Wheeled some more :laugh:

Outboard has begun

measured what felt like a thousand times but I got it.



Checking at full bump. I left an inch of shock left before bottoming out to account for the rubber bump stop compression.

Was able to reuse my old lower shock mounts with a little massage with a flap wheel

Lots of room around the brake line and spring perch

Update
I'm running into a few issues with the fuel tank. Well come to find out its a 02 tank and I have an 03 jeep so some of the hoses are different. I got most of the evap stuff connected and worked with the tank but the filler hose is giving me issues.

I dont have a hole cut for the filler and kind of wanted to keep it that way. Does anyone know of a filler neck used for compact purposes kind of like the genright one
