Kool about having our own section

Nothing super special about the build, started out a '47 CJ2a.
ended up just using from the taper in the doors forward sheetmetal, everything else was fabbed by me in a single car garage.

Build is a year old now, and still happy with how it turned out, not perfect but looks a little different then most other stretches.

best part is knowing I did all the work myself, this is my first serious build, learned to everything from setting up gears to painting on my own with tech help from here and other sources...took 3 years all together but worth it.

Specs:
2x4x.125 HSS frame
4.3 V6/NV3500/NP231Crawl/D300
Narrowed HP D60's 5.38's, front ARB and detriot rear w/ 14b spindles and hubs, 4340 shafts
3 link front, 4 link rear w/ Ballistic Airshocks 14"
XJ tilt column, Autometer gauges
Started out with a warn 9500ti, but recently switched to a 8274-50
Just added a rear sway bar
36 Iroks on H1's with 2" spacers

Sick ride, a jeep like this has always been my dream. You ever think of just a little more tube work for some added safety, it doesn't seem like the cage would do a whole lot without some support to the rear.
