Front went under the saw this evening, poison spyder BFH bumper. Think I'm going to recess ot back another 2 inches and trim the grill to sink a winch part way in there... make for a lot better approach up there. Will need to trim sway bar mounts though.








Threw fox 2.0 resevoir'shocks on all 4 corners along with red crowne SS lines.



Tomorrow I'll redo rear body mounts, spring retainers, bump stop extension rear, make front shock plates lower that are out 2" up 3/4", and some more stuff (like maybe finish rear bumper lol)

That's looking pretty kick ass so far. You got a lot of clearance in the back now and it looks nice, cant wait to see the finished product

Off topic question, how do you like those shocks I have bilstiens now and like them but trading it in for a 2013 jku (need the extra room) and was considering those for the next lift. And you are one hell of a fabricator this is a sweet build.

I like em they are a OK shock....when you can revalve a shock semi easily they are all the same....
I went this route because they get 11.6" of travel and I can definently use it....

Damn Travis! I thought I was the only one you were telling about this build with all those wild fabrication pic text messages!

I know you will build this 2 door right! Now hurry up so you can follow me out to the Hammers (and tow me out ).
