Bit of an update, havent been on here in awhile:

Got my PORC sye installed


bought another front driveshaft and rebuilt it:



added 2 degree shims to rear to correct pinion angle:



trimmed my fenders:





redid my weld on the drivers side leafspring mount (when i did my lift i had to cut out the weldnut and make a new one, since the threads were messed up)...it was holding fine, but this was just for peace of mind:

right after the pic i sanded it down and painted it to match the jeep, so it blends in nicely.


also welded up a bracket to hold my cb:






i have since cleaned up and hidden the wires.

does having the cb right there get in the way when you have passengers?

For some reason I kinda assumed that time had passed the CB radios by with advent of the cellphone but I guess I'm wrong. Still a neat item I wouldn't mind having though.
