ok thats just a hosh posh of parts that was laying in his yard Ill bet... Not too keen on the fender cut outs at all.. The air induction system as he called it... hes using it to expell hot air and feeding it to his engine.. thats a great way to boost Hp and fuel economy. What happens when he hits a mud puddle and that crap goes in there right on the K&N. Loss of power.. That rear set up. 2 inch blocks with helpers.. They will sag over time. Last the shock extentions, wow. Here in Pa. he wouldnt get away with the tires like that because of inspection nor would he pass without a front bumper. Overall though if it works for him, it seems like it does, and he is proud of what he did then I really cant knock him. I havent raised my jeep yet because I dont want to do it like that...

I'm guessing he's on a tight budget, I've been there, I say good for him.
In all honesty, I kinda like the general idea of his raised air intake setup... I wonder if you could run that into the cowl (under the wipers)... hmmm...

Well it's different
Well, the front "lift" was interesting to say the least, good job on cutting those front fenders .
Maybe it's just me but I've always thought blocks under the leaf springs looked cheesy, like they would crack or slip out if you did any off roading, my lift will be shackles or AAL as soon as I figure out which is best.
I like the air induction scoop, looks tough and is functional as well, but the chrome skull windshield washers have got to go.
I would'nt have just left the crankcase breather hose hanging without even putting a filter on the end, hope he plugged up the hole in the air box that it went into.

If he had gone with the body line while cutting then they would be a little bit nicer looking . Just the way it looks, thought comes to mind that he messed up on one side and then had to correct it by going higher. Ive seen one other like that and when i spoke to the owner of the other chop job (was at a car show as a spectator) he stated that he cut that high in order to clear his 35's at full articulation.
