Great other than my master brake cylinder went out so I couldent stop on the ledges and bump it where I wanted to....
I really love this jeep. It seems to do about eveything in reason I ask it to...
I am building it up becaue my reason is now more than can be mechanically expected from a spring under 3/4 tone running gear rig..... :D

Well as build ups go I had a few detours( I ended up having to buy a new tow rig so no money for the 14bolt and 60 as of yet).
I did redesign the rear suspention and move the front axle forward an inch.. here are a few pics of that build up...
