Man you weren't kidding when you said you were going "high" with those rocker rails, right to the bottom of the door!!

yup :)

once I get other body mounts off I can start replacing nasty rust floor and then I can work on new body mounts and sealing the large holes in the floor ..
 
great build so far. you would not want to get rid of the bus would you?

Sad to see the Bruiser XJ go but its a fitting donation to what looks like a nice YJ.... or CJ or is it CYJ?

I'm sure welding to that crappy old sheetmetal is loads of fun. Are you going to stick with the new "keep it super low" craze? Also don't think I saw wheelbase mentioned?
