Broken picture links? Wheres the pride?

I was actually looking through all of my photos i took of my little project the other and i dont have any of it as it is now. It's still not fully painted. But i must update how it looks soon. Probably a job for when i get home.

So tonight I bought the 4 inch lift rough country YJ springs off the fella breaking one on ebay.

Cant wait to get them under her. Gunna need 35s or bigger to fill the VL arches unless some wizzardry can be done with the mounting or they work well with a leaf taken out. Will find out when I get some spare time at the weekend.

I think we can get it to stay pretty much the same height as it is now, you're a few inches taller than mine anyway and I'm on standard YJs.

Will be for sale in the near future. Scottie has first dibs for one of his other trucks as I will probably end up doing the swap in his workshop.

Will sell as kit if not only done 2000 miles. 2" ironmans, es3000 shocks, llama extended brake lines.

Need to make brackets to fit YJs first.

As much a I love them I think the 5 spoke alloys are going to have to go too. :cry:

Not wide enough for the future!
