So let me get this straight.....

You went from this on a Thursday:

To this the next day:

Shezuz. Were you bored or highly motivated?

Nice work either way!

Ya know, since you already went with poison spyder corners, you should go on and get their metal fender flares too. That would look awesome, add some tire clearance and durability.

That is one sweet looking rig. Once (if..) my TJ ever leaves daily driver duties, I will probably go beefier. I am running 33's right now, but may go taller, with upgraded axles and such.

But that is for another day and another dollar....

Anyway, nice rig, and I love the color too.

That is correct. I had a weekend trip planned and wanted the jeep ready to go. So yes, it was done in a 24 hour period. The pictures of it offroad on maiden voyage was Friday Afternoon before dark.

As far as future plans, Im seriously considering taking all the one ton stuff from the Suburban including TBI 350/700R4/NP241 and putting it all into this rig and stretching it for the World Trip.

Man, you don't mess around.... That's a hell of a build on such a short timetable. Glad you didn't hit any snags along the way.

Well, certainly the work can get done. Emotionally speaking, it's a lot to do within 24 hours: Get new Jeep. Take off bumper, replace. Install winch. Rip out suspension. Replace. Get new tires. Remove flares.

Some of us require a climitization period. Way to go!

Well I did have one friend helping. And I guess if you really want to get technical, the first pic u posted is Thurs morning, and the second is Thurs evening. Friday was Alignment time mostly and installation of the one slider. Alignment guy took too long--LOL!!

Wow, it would be sweet to build that into a one ton stretch for the world trip. With a diesel, that would be one unique truck. Let us know if you do it!! :jumping:

cheers

I keep goin back and forth. Im just nervous about it being custom one off. Then again if I build it, I should be able to fix anything on it. Hmmm--decisions!

I dig the sidewalk chalk myself, should be in every vehicle!

Nice work!

HAHA! What can I say. Kids were bored watching me work on it all day.:suning:

If you use the chvy stuff in it, then you have some of the most common parts laying around. The thing to remember when swapping in parts and such is to not get overly exotic. Anything with a chevy 350 is going to be able to get parts anywhere.
