been on hold for about a week. the shop got some emergency work on some rigs before EJS so my LJ took the back seat.

I love LJ's, there is a silver one here, lifted probably 3", got some armor, black wheels, etc. Get a little excited when I see it. I'm afraid if I saw your LJ, I would get a boner. Just sayin'!

LOL!!

here's an HDR of the LJ prior to the build




latest update is that the axles are out. corners have been cut to accommodate the rear taillights without contacting the tire carrier. its so close!

finishing up the PSC hydro assist and test fitting the rockers.

my shop built a custom bracket to hold the rack. it's on the rear corners and it's as strong if not stronger than the how it was suppose to mount (the frame )

got the ARB fridge/ winch line and ladder

still waiting on the shocks

it's been very slow with EJS starting next week.

i'll post some pics later today of how it's coming along so far!

Stay tuned

it looks like things are rolling again. and moving quick!!

Jeep is getting prepped for paint and WILL be ready for paint next Wed.

I talked to the paint shop and gave them a heads up and also delivered the full doors and will be taking the hood over tomorrow.

Problem we have is that the Jeep needs to be ready before the May 21st for the High Country Performance 4X4 open house!

Body shop has about 1 - 2 weeks to get the Jeep completely painted!

after that goes back to the shop to get everything that has been powder coated installed!

should be interesting to see how things start to roll.
