Sometime late last summer I was talking to Jim about modding his jeep and it snowballed and somehow I got in the middle of it. before I knew what was going on I agreed to build his jeep over again pretty much. The goal was lots of strength and a nice cushy ride while providing clearance for 40's in the future.

The entire build/arguing/problem solving thread is here: http://www.misfitoffroad.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8991&start=0

it will be completely finished and wheelable in the next couple weeks.
here are a few pictures of the build:

Still more progress chugging away. All painting is done with final paint on the front fenders today. Most of the under dash stuff is done awaiting the actual dash/wiring to be wrapped up. Cage has been test fitted & in the process of making new seat mounts to tie the PRP seats into the cage. Once that happens, the cage can come out for paint & the dash will go in while the cage is out of the way. I hope to finish installing the front fenders later this week & then start building wheel wells. It should be close around Labor Day.

Sounds silly but here's how the color was picked. I encouraged my wife to pick the new color and she was kicking around colors. She walked outside & said hey, why not match the color of the motorhome. I was like, sure. So we took the touch up bottle to the paint supplier & had them match it. Now I just need to convince her we need aluminum wheels on the trailer. :teehee:
