Full-Traction 6" LA - Home Build
I started this project having little to no knowledge of JK's. I had a 1951 M38 before this, so the project provided a huge learning curve. In the end, it took me about two months to complete in the evenings and on weekends. I waited nearly 7 months for all the parts to arrive so I could start. I at least have the confidence of knowing how the jeep was put together and that it was done right. I know there are quite a few pics, but wanted to share some of the aspects of the build. So far, I am very satisfied with all the choices of parts and their preformance. This was because all I learned here on this site before I began....thanks.
