Here's Elvis. A little late for the party but ready to roll.
84, 258, nuttered, herc'd, little shackle lift, 31"s. It's ready for the river. I love it like one of my kids.

I have a number of pictures of the frame and suspension etc., but I'm still new here and can't post pictures yet. I will do a write up soon. I should probably do it in a separate thread as to not Hi-jack this one.

Yeah, this rig was built for wheelin! Soon as I'm done I've got run after run planed for this year. I'm sure scratches will come starting day one. I used base coat/clear coat on the body and 20 year old enamel with hardener on the cage. The shine will last a few years then. Figured as long as I re-did everything, might as well spray some decent paint.

Glad you guys liked it.

PO say why he cut out one side of the tub and not the other?

[No_Bs]

Didn't ask, didn't really want or care to hear the anwser. The funny thing is , they were so dumb they cut through the wiring for the tail lights, morons.

Tell her,"it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand."

Or you could tell her it's where the old military(M38A1) top bows mounted to the body as seen in this picture:

In the old days (50s and early 60s maybe) those indentions were where the factory top bows attached to the body tub. You would have to look at a picture of an M38A1 to get an idea of what I am talking about.
