Looks like a lot of different Jeeps represented in this one.

It's all the same jeep besides the header it was just in the process of a terrible paint job.

Zone lift kit came in doing a add a leaf for now. Kit is pretty nice besides the fact they only sent me 3 u bolts lol.  Long arms should be coming in the mail today.

[Muncher]

Rear lift is in now time for the pita part. Got one inner trans crossmember support out gotta get the passenger side off tap some holes out and mount the long arm cross member on. Not excited to cut the lower control arm brackets off 

[Muncher]

Rear lift fully in front crossmember in lower control arms cut off. Springs in just gotta do thr shocks and lower control arms.

That trans crossmember looks like it hangs down a long ways. 
Might also want to update your signature haha

It's not as bad in person. It's got a built in crossmember drop instead of the normal t case drops 

[Muncher]

Lift is fully in. Will definitely want to get a adjustable track bar in the future and HD steering. Front brake lines will definitely need to be lengthened for extra flex as well.

[Muncher]

Not much done today cleaned windows and added stickers lol. Painted the rear hatch aswell 

 

Also found a possible donor car I'm looking to pick up for a motor swap. N/A om606 with a mechanical fuel pump

[Muncher]

Have had this Kilmatt since like 4 jeeps ago finally got one worthy enough of putting it in. Got some done today

[Muncher]

Almost done. Gotta treat the rust in the roof and put some matt up there. Then I gotta find a dye and paint my interior the black like these seats.

Nice find on those seats and door panels -- that's a one year at best Jeep offering. Late '87 Laredo with black interior/ 'luggage' fabric. Only seen these once before in life. Will look good. Congrats

Thank you. They came out of a very base wagoneer it was a odd ball for sure.

Little before and after. Couldn't balance the wheels wheel weights wouldn't stick but they don't ride bad at all. Time to fix my death wobble 

[Muncher]

Core 4x4 track bar installed after the stock one snapped on me. Took it down the road and it seems no more death wobble. All though I now have death wobble ptsd so it always seems like it's gonna happen but it never did.
