****** ONE THING I FORGOT TO SAY IS THAT THIS IS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR IN THE MAKING******

at first i was going spring over on 1.5" military wrap springs but i was going to be 10' in the air and i didnt want that so my buddy had a set of coilovers for sale and so thats one way of getting lower (but on a bigger budget lol) so i had to ask the bank and she said yes but dont spend toooo much lol boy if she only knew lol

I like your idea for the rear storage areas behind the wheel wells. Of course you will need some supports for the rear of the roll cage but I'm guessing you already know that. Nice build!

the 2 reasons why i made new wheel well covers are because my rear axle is wider then stock and i wanted to put a wider rear seat....... instead of 36" from wheel well to wheel well its now 43" so i can put a 42" back seat mounted to the jeep no the cage so if i need to put stuff back there for what ever reason it will fit....... oh and i wanted to be different, but with style

I just re-read and saw this....
******* CAUTION FOR THE NEXT lOU OF PICS I HOPE I DONT OFFEND ANYONE ********

Wait, what part was offensive?
I think it is very cool, plain and simple.
You have inspired me to go out and find the D300 and Lomax kit I have buried under things and set it up on the bench to rebuild it.
