Just the middle for now. I've got a receiver hitch in both front and back, so there's some support on those ends. Plus, I don't know what I'm going to do yet that might get affected by installed stiffeners.

I think it's an aluminum block. Part of the Rusty's lift kit the PO installed.

Cleaned it. Even brushed under the hood, rinsed the engine off, and bleached the tires. And yes I did it all with the doors off. I just love the looks people give me as they drive by lol.

My front bilsteins finally came in I took out the bar pins and used energy suspension bushings and bpe's but I think I purchased the wrong size shock! I only have about 5 inches of the rod showing now I'm thinking a one inch spacer up front? Any suggestions? I doubt that they will take them back after I installed them and put different bushings on.

The WJ battery keep repeatedly dying all day, and discovered that the fan was still operating, draining the battery. Smashed a hole in the plastic area and replaced with a spare relay and now the fan is working like it's supposed to
