I sit way tall and still have leafs.. shouldn't have to cut much but the fenders:redneck:

Got a little done today, I cut out the holes for the shocks to come through, made up some hoops and a cross support at the bottom. I will ad another on the back 18" back form the front to mount a rear bucket seat and another up from that to brace the hoops and mout the shoulder harnesses for the back seat to.

looks good

but why 14iners why not 18's or 16's atleast

pos97TJ · Oct 7, 2009

my fronts are 14s and I wanted to run the same in the rear so I only have to pack around 1 spare:awesomework:. It is only a trail jeep so 14" of travel should be plenty

Nice, I am expecting my 14" COs soon. I was going to mount the rears off the back at an angle. Although I will say, I like the straight up approach. Hmmmmm?

What are you doing up front?

Nice work Wes, looking good!

I like the new wheels & tires also. :011:

pos97TJ · Oct 7, 2009

Yeah I have 14" kings that are mounted pretty straight up also. I figured it would be easier to dial them in without having to take into account the different leverages that you get when you mount them at an angle.:awesomework:

Here are a couple shots of the front, dont mind the resiviour it was a temp:redneck:

I will snap a few better shots when I start moving the front end foward:awesomework:
