Needing direction...

The painter wanted me to look at a couple things to determine how far we wanted to go on them. It's going to take a little body filler and a few more dollars but I told him to make it right.

What he has done already looks awesome!

I couldn't be happier with this color, it's perfect. He still has to do the tub, fenders, and hood. Most everything else is done. I saw it when I picked it up but I just didn't want to unwrap it all after transport. :headbang:
 
wow cool color. your jeep looks just like mine, and in in the process of painting the same color.
 
Couple of pics from the painter tonight. :bacon:

Four coats primer and ready for line-x then paint. :eek: I know a few of you just cringed at that but I am leaning that direction.
 
I cringed. Linex will be so much harder to repair in the future. But it's your Jeep and you should do it your way.
 
Starting to go back together (albeit slowly). I've started assembly on axels. Does anyone have a picture of the front u-bolt plates? I think mine are a homemade job. This is what was on mine before disassembly:

I'm returning to SUA with a 4" lift. I'm going to run 33" tires. Currently I haven't ordered a body lift but I'm curious if you all recommend it. I am considering a 1" body lift. Also need some input on rear spring shackles. Are the M.O.R.E.'s worth the extra cost?

I'm sure there a plenty of questions to come...
 
Spring perches, shock mount and steering stabilizer, not that they are wrong but they sure not like any Jeep I ever had.
 
1in body is fine. That may be a Rocky Mountain bolt on soa kit. Not sure. MORE has nice products.
 
I love the 1" body lift on mine, just enough extra room to make a number of things more accessible under the body without being overdone.

That's definitely some sort of add-on SOA kit and I've never seen those shocks with helper springs or steering stabilizer either. Curious what changes they made in the steering to go with the SOA?

Regardless, I like hearing that you're going back SUA.
 
The color looks great and will look much nicer against a nutmeg top and interior. Also if you go back with the orange/yellow stripes they will give a nice contrast that makes the dark brown pop!

If you look through the last half of my build I have some good pics of the factory spring plates and shackles. I'm also running 33's and used a 1" urethane body lift. Just enough to add a pinch of lift without having to move clutch linkage and steering stuff. My shackles also account for a 1/2" if I recall.
