Another Daveys Jeep
Here's my Davey's Jeep Rebuild.
The speed that you are getting this done makes my progress look pitiful. But I can see the light at the end of my tunnel.
Great job and I'm following this thread to the end.

right now i'm look at gettin the Rusty's 3.5" kit, but have them send me 2" springs rather then the 3.5". i'd like to get the adjustable tracbars, but have no need for that extra 1.5". i'm puting the Xenon flares on it, and i'm not a fan of huge open wheel wells.
as for the tires, something in a mainly black 17x9 wheel, can't decide yet, with a 35x12.5r17 BFG MT KM2. i've concidered the IROKs, as i run those on the YJ and LOVE them ... but they have a much shorter road life, and they almost stick to the road too good. i love to get the rear end loose in the rain, or play with it now and then without feel bad about looseing 1000 miles of tread ... but even with the stroker, 4.56s, and a ceramic clutch, they won't break loose even in the rain.

what are you going to do to get rid of all the rust on the windshield frame and door?
and do you know what they check at the enhanced inspection to make you pass a wrecked ride?
I'd really actually love to build one for a trail jeep only actually

the enhanced mainly checks where all your parts came from ... you have to have documentation showing none were stollen. also a gazillion pictars before durring and after. other then that you just have to pass the general inspection ... it don't have to be pretty.
if your just lookin for a trail rig, you can get one in worse shape then mine was. the burn shell of the 09 4-door i got my parts off of is still sittin up at Davey's just BEGGING to have someone throw some DOM and a v-8 at it.
