Have been debating on starting a thread or not but finally figured i would since we are all nice here now.
Started in 2007 went riding in Tellico with a guy my dad works with 3 weeks later i bought my TJ. When i picked it up she was purdy, never seen anything but the mall. She sat on 33's and had 2" body lift and the budget boost coil spacer things. Went riding one time and was instantly hooked. Crazy thing turned good the next Monday after wheeling i was rear ended by a Z71 and totaled the Jeep, bought it back from insurance and used the left over money from fixing it to buy a 3" lift kit. Started breaking axles (shocker) so upgraded the Dana 35 to a Super 35 kit. Bent those shafts and kept breaking u-joints in that beastly Dana 30 so in 2013 I sold those axles, bought some RCV's, a HP Dana 44 and a Ford 8.8, 3 linked the front and upgraded the 8.8 to a super 88. All that was going great but i felt i was being held back because i was always worried about rolling it over. So pulled the Jeep back in and started tearing it down again.
After taking the old cage out we started bending tube and today got the two main hoops done. Would have gotten more done but this was our first time using this bender, actually it was my first time ever bending tube.
So what do you guys think?
