So i bought this jeep stock for $500, tagged smogged, just needed a little tlc.
spent a couple days goin thru it and fixin this and that,
replaced the windshield,
swapped sum stuff over from the camo jeep,
lift kit, tires, rear axle.
all in all, im only around $750 into it
will post more pics as i go along.
plan on doing black along the bottom, and doing the trim black,
might tackle that tomorrow tho.
I really want to go to long arm someday but we will see.

Not sure whether to go with drop brackets or long arm. If i go long arm, ill have to wait until taxes come in.
And becca, there are plenty parts of old camo runnin around on jeeps all over bakersfield lol

I would rather have drop brackets than long arms. Same ride/flex, better ground clearance, less $$$. Can't go wrong either way though...
