    I suppose it's time to put up a pic. It has no drivetrain yet, but 4.3 TBI, SM465 and Rockwell transfer case on it's way in. It's got 37" Super Swamper TSL's on it now, but will be coming off and replaced with 35" BFG Mud Terrains. I'm taking the long shackles off the back and putting the front back to spring under, it's just too tall. Oh yeah, Toyota axles, 4.11's and spool in rear.

    This one is before the spring over, TJ flares and rattle can green.

    I haven't driven it yet, the PO took the drivetrain as part of the deal. Everyone I show it to laughs out loud, including me. It is out of proportion.

    I knew you'd get a chuckle out of it Howard, I tried to buy it 2 years ago before it grew up, but not for sale. A week after I bought the 1st TJ it sold, so when I saw he opportunity this time I grabbed it.

    Being as I'm a "Resto" kinda guy don't spread this around but I actually kinda like the way it looks with the 37's & lift, it would be neat to see you coming up the 213 five minutes before you pass by :twisted:

    I like the flares. It will be lots better sprung under again.
    I always wanted to do a Jeepster with a CJ front clip.
    Post pics of the progress.:beer:
