    It needs a .50 cal hole in the fender.

    after getting it home and having some fun with a sawzall and a grinder i ended up with this. i moved the bumber up 3 inches and in 5. after the a pillar on one side fell out and the other was about to i decided to go roofless. when i make a cage i will add some sort of roof so it doesn't look goofy. scrapped the bed and the rear bumper etc after the spring hanger. now to fix the non existent floor and rebuild the motor and all new brakes. so much for a cheap jeep. if i'm lucky i will get away with new rings and bearings and maybe rebuild the heads. the truck was flooded and sat for 9 months before i got it. atleast it looks mean and fun right now

    why cut any off the bottom? your shackles are already lower than the bumper.

    if your neighbors didnt like the red jeep on jackstands, they are really gonna love this thing.
