Got the driveshafts built, both axles geared, and lockright installed. Next Friday I get a 5 day weekend, during that period if there is no wheeling pictures posted someone please come kick my ***.

Well I took the jeep out today, It did amazing! Nothing to hard, I was just behind my house on the mountain. All I have to say is WOW, I dont even know where to start. There is so much I did that I didnt cover in the build, but it seemed like no one was interested. If anyone has ANY questions just ask and ill explain. Anything I pointed it at she did effortlessly! With the new width it didnt get tippy no matter how hard i tried. Time to go hit some trails!! Anyways....


Big Rock



But not big enough...












Its not as big as the pictures make it seem... Maybe 6" higher then a stock cherokee on 31's. It is WIDE though 90" wms to wms!

The new stability is incredible to say the least, before I would get on any kind of side hill or off camber spot and it felt like it would go any second! Now with the new setup, width, and lower height i can get out while its completely sideways and shake it and it still does not budge! I never thought I could get this kind of stability out of coils
