Thought you guys might like to see my other Jeep. Still need to work on a cage, bumpers and paint. What do you think?

I've never seen (or even heard) of one of those before.

That looks AWESOME

More pics would be appreciated

I got this about 10 years ago, completely stock and clapped out. It went through a mild build with 4" lift and 33s, but then I took it off the trails since it broke everytime I took it out. That led to Dana 60s, '07 Vortec 5.3, 3-link front and 4-link rear, 37s on beadlocks, ARB lockers, OBA, etc. Took me about two years to build it. Here are a few more pictures. The first one is what it looked like to start (this is my other one):









I use my JK for daily driving duties, although it has been all over Moab and just recently got a lift and 35s. It's nice having a rig like this so I don't need to beat on the JK.

Saw a stock one the other day driving in town. Looked a little beat up though.

I have a '68 with a little lift and 33" tires, but how did you come up with the suspension? My plan is to do a cummins 6bt swap with tranny and axles but i want to have a trail suspension similar to yours.

The suspension is 3-link front and 4-link rear with Fox coilovers. I designed it and made everything myself. It works great after a bit of trial and error and dialing in spring rates.
