I'd do 2x4 so I could later weld 2" dom tubing step bars to them for a bit more of a custom touch.

Haha i should try that... probly break something though...

i really love the 3 inch lift. 4.5 would be great but it would also cost much more.. and i can do just as much with 3 and with some lockers and a little bellie protection.. look out, it will be unstoppable!! ideally id be at 4.5 with like 36's hahah but i dont have the moola for that..


and the trails are at mountianside orv. awesome awesome place... i love it

well not much has happened but i figured i would post for the sake of updating since its been a while..

i replaced all the u joints in the front and rear driveshaft, replaced the centering yoke, replaced 3 tie rod ends, replaced the rear main seal, and replaced the valve cover gasket. and some other odds and ends i cant think of..

im also working on fabing up some adjustable bumpstops: (the wooden ones didnt work out to well haha)


i dont have much in the way of pics, but i made a video of pictures and a clip or to to kinda sum up my first year of owning the jeep:
