That's what happens when your junk goes outside the garage. I think it looked pretty good after sitting inside for almost a year.

I was just giving you a hard time since you keep your rig so clean. Trust me, I know what shop dust can do after a Jeep sits for a while.

Well....The fun is about to begin. Made the road trip to TX this weekend. Got that dude back home. Time to start striping away. If you know of anyone looking for the running gear it's all on its way out. 4 cyl. stick. with good t case. Runs great

I had to use a strap to hold up the drag link just to get it on the trailer. I put the extra wheel and tire on just to get it on the trailer.

Also, nice tow rig you got there.

I can't wait to see this thing in action.

Good luck. It'll look intense. The body isn't as bad as what i thought from the first pics. Ever decide what lockers you'll be using??

Trust me. The body is bad. Both fenders are trashed. The grill is tweaked. Hood is trash. Windshield frame is trashed. Drivers mirror is broke in half. The piece of metal between the hood and windshield frame is trashed. Front axle is 4-6" to one side. I thought the jeep was worse when I got there than the pics I had seen. But it's only going to make the pictures of when it is done look all that much better when I look back.

As for the lockers. I'm not sure just yet. I'd like a selectable up front be it an Arb or an Ox. I run the ARB in the Toxic TJ but if I can find a deal on the OX I'd rather go that way (keeps me from buying a diff cover). For the rear. I'm thinking detroit. Maybe a spool. Depends on what I can find. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the posts

Todd

Run selectables in both axles.. and rear cutting brakes. Front digs are super clean. You can pivot on a dime.. and give back $.09 change.
