Hey, I've seen that somewhere! Those doors are looking great! Got that window tinted and hopefully get it on this weekend. Thanks again.
 
Very sharp!!!!!!!! Did you put the roof rack on and if so did you reinforce the fiberglass any? I'm getting read to mount a roof rack and a Thule basket on my 87.

it was on it when I got it will look tomorrow as far as the bracing. the only thing I put on top of it was a peice plywood one time and the xmas tree!!!!!!
 
Hey man, they turned out great! I like how you left the lock cyl there!
 
yeah one less hole to fill LOL as far as the yjs go they are the same length as factory toys total length and from pin to pin.They are just a tad wider so I had to shave the bushings. I took a five leaf pack and added one two it. It rides good but is still a little soft but flexes good.

Put together some rears up front adding in my yjs gotta little more lift and they ride better due to the shackle angle.I gained clearance on the back of the fender but now its hitting in the front where the bumper corners mount so time for a new bumper LOL. Still flexes good but need to open the spring clamps some

When you mounted your steering box did you cut into your radiator support to move it forward so your tie rod & drag link don't hit or can you move it far enough forward without cutting using the stock spring hangers?

Also, what shocks are you using on the front?
 
I moved it as far forward as I could without cutting anything and the angles are good on the tie rod and drag link , as far as the shocks go I can get you the part number but I believe they are for an f-350 from napa 14 inch travel
