Well I know I will get some **** for this but here goes. I bought me a relatively prebuilt Jeep. When I bought it it had 8 inches of lift, an 8.8 swap done, a nice front bumper with an led light bar.

Man I totally haven’t updated this in forever!
I built some rear bump stops. I added a 2 inch spacer (I don’t have a pic of it modified) between the bumper and the frame. They work awesome!

I built a cage for the front seats. The rear will come at a later date when it’s not so hot.

I got a little body damage last time I wheeled it.

The next projects are rocker/door protection and transfer case/transmission skid plate. And now Youtube video of recent adventures.

Yessir they both did. This was the first time I watched it work. I never realized how much my rear suspension doesn’t suck. For what it is it works pretty well. My brother in law is starting to get hooked a little. He got excited when I told him yesterday that we were going Jeepin. Then we got to my buddy’s house and I told him he was driving and he didn’t even bat an eye.

Problem with me teaching him in my Jeep is now he can’t start with one of those peasant stock Jeeps. Lol
