Been lurking here for some time. Thought I would post up my build.
1998 ZJ Laredo with the 5.2.
Picked up a IRO 3.5" lift and some custom bumpers:
Storage build:
I wish the back was a bit deeper for longer drawers...oh well, these do the job:
I had a hard time seeing over the wheel:
Shake down for the lift...Jeep Jamboree:
Finally decided on a Rhino Rack and Tepui tent:
Good shot of the swing-away rear bumper:
Just added some auxiliary lighting...50" light bar and some small led floods.
...still need to wire up the switches and fuse/relay box:
As she sits today:
...soon:
Other mods:
Aluminum radiator, 5.9 hood vents, and a Flowcooler water pump. Added a cheap 12k HF winch.
Next up...
Install Blue Sea ACR, switches, fuse/relay box, and other goodies. Hope you enjoyed the pics.
