well not much to update due to lack of funds right now but i finished uncoating the jeep and changed the oil since it was jet black. its finally on the road and i must say it runs better then i remembered from the test drive. i might actually get away with the rear for a little while to. ill update more when i get money to buy parts haha!

Looking good Steve! I like the black! If you do the camo make sure you do the flares!

thats true flares would need to be done also. still havent decided yet though. if i can get the stuff cheap enough i probably will but im thinking about ordering my parts for the rear within the next couple days.my buddy said i can bring the jeep over to his shop and we can knock the rear out whenever im ready!

I have a set of alloy wheels (turbines) if you want them. They have a set of beat 31's on them. Located in Pa. near the Comm. Barry Bridge. Let me know if you want them.

do you have pics? im not familiar with the "turbine" wheels. i was beginning to lean towards some black cragar soft 8s and possibly trying a set of the treadwright retreads that are the goodyear MTR lookalikes i believe they call them the guard dogs now or something like that. ive seen nothing but good reviews on them.

hmm thanks for the offer victor but now that i see the pic ive seen those wheels on a few jeeps before but that isnt really the look i am going for. i really appreciate the offer though im sure if you post them up you could probably sell them fairly easily.
