and just when i thought i was done.......i see this on Craigslist. had planned on re-doing my rear suspension anyway, and i can pick this up for less than the cost of a new set of lift springs.

DONE! well enough to wheel next weekend atleast.

Time to install a cage in the Old Heep. Labor day weekend i flopped the jeep on its side while out wheeling. didn't really scare me, as i figured it would happen sooner or later. but it did bring to light that it really can happen, and it could end up much worse than a simple easy flop on...
