i know these pics are dated and random but theyll do for now...


currently building a d60 for the front...should be in the jeep in the next couple months...

going with a PSC 1.75x8" ram with the hydro assist
probably just going to spool it this time...

axle is sittin on stands in the shop and i am trying to get the motivation to get out there and tear into it...

it reminds me of 4x4 fevers old rig. I like the FSJs. How much you think it weighs? have you wheeled it much with the 44 front? How has it held up?

 

[ncrockinxj]

Kinda makes me miss my old Wagoneer. Bad ass looking rig man.

[ARouser]

[Caver Dave]

The color and build/rebuild (after returning stateside)/rebuild (after return #2-#3) is also reminiscent of Marine02's FS Waggy...

Where you at Neil?

 

[Joe J.]
