That's some awesome work there.   :thumbsup:

Looks like you might be doing some fender trimming before long. Lol

I never noticed them before but are those rear shock mounts homemade? If not, where did you get those from?  You mentioned that the front driveshaft would fall out sometimes. How did you solve that?

Yeah, there will be lots of trimming in the rear fenders!

Noah got those shock mounts off of Amazon some where. I can't remember what the company name is.

Im going to use a limiting strap on the front axle to save the drive shaft until I do another longer front drive shaft.

not to bad.... air hammer is your freind on the rivets.... definitely a worth while upgrade, but it needs to be done in conjunction with Jungles upgraded frame bushing kit and new poly bushings with 5/8 grease bolts all around for the full effect  :035:

Yeah I already have the frame bushing upgrade kit and the 5/8 bolts. was thinking the 2" lift might be good then add the 2" blocks I have in the back with the new axles.

A guy a Noah's Shop called the RC "Desert Storm" and Said it needed a Big 50 Cal Machine gun on top.
