Started on the front end, Had to re-do a few things to get better alpha angle on coilovers, so I cut the front frame off and bent up a new one out of tube, also started on the fenders and stinger. some progress picks.













still lots to do, need to bend up some more tube on the front for coilover hoops and get small bumper for the winch.

its been a while, getting some garage time in when I can. I started on the skid today, will do the sides of the skid next week and hopefully start on the boat sides. winter time means garage time for me.

Thats lookin mighty beefy :D

Like a polish Sausage!

Love it Raf! I will try and make a trip down in the next couple weeks if your still in town and need a hand!
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
