Default Build Thread

My buddy has just joined the family. We were looking at some build options and were wondering what yalls opinions were on it.
We were gonna duracoat the grille and the wheels. We were gonna get some bigger tires as well. What is a good lift kit to look into as well as some bumpers. Any other mods to turn this crayon into a manly crayon?

This is the route I went, great lift and easy to move to a short arm/long arm down the road. Also, chop the fenders easy project and dirt cheap to keep you busy while you wallet recovers from the more expensive stuff.

4 inch short arm lift is a little much for a 2 door. The wheel base will be too short and the handling will be kind of sketchy

All kits with arms are short arm kits unless they are long arm kits. If that makes sense. It will actually handle better than using stock arms if they are adjusted properly.
