Hello All,

For those that don't know I've been working on my Grand Cherokee the last few months. I had it as a club member's only thread, but I'm nearing completion and have made it so everyone can follow along. Here is the link to the build thread...

I update it every few days with new pics and progess. I'm a picture whore and take alot of them as you will see in the thread. But here are so teaser pics of were I'm at now.

Totally bitchin' Cory. When do you think we'll see it out on the trails? What's left to do before it's wheelable?

Not for now. Any more and the 14 bolt will tag the gas tank. In time I may move the tank or get a fuel cell and then move the rear back more.

Thanks Matt. I'm guessing around another month. I still have to put in the 4 speed Atlas, which is this weekends project. Then I've still got alot of little things let to do. But Soon, Very Soon.

Maybe I am.

I'm going to wheel it the way it is and see if I like it. If I don't then I can remove the 1-1/2" spring spacers and adjust the bump stop. But we'll see.

The front wheel wells have already been well clearanced on the inside. Both and the bumper and firewall sides. So I could probably drop and still not hit much.
