    The Cheap Heep Jeep...

    Good, since it bugs you I will leave it as is.... The plan is to put a straight edge on them and straighten them up the put cheap flexy flares on it. The rear is going to be the real pain, I had to cut past the pinch in some areas and I didn't exactly know what I was doing and have to weld...

    Highspeed, they are 33's. I am unsure of the gear ratio and haven't had it on pavement but it does ok for now. Mr Smith, thank you and I will try to find some.

    The plan is to weld it back together with 18ga. The pinch was gone for the most part, I cut till I hit good metal. I would like some 37s but they aren't in the budget for this truck.

    I wish ours was open, comes in the 15th of October. I have never even shot a crossbow, I reckon when my shoulder finally gives out I will get one.

    Haha! I heard that! Come on down just anytime. I got the passenger side 2x6 rocker on, but I used 2x2 tubing to support it, I'm gonna have to cut an angle on them because they hang down further than expected. Floor pan is totally welded in, just needs grinding, roofing tar, self etch, enamel...

    The Cheap Heep Jeep...

    Yeah it's a rough one, but I figure for $500 it's worth the effort. The upside is I'm learning a lot and having some fun too. The 3" RC lift I have did not come with a block for the rear just the aal... Maybe I'm missing some parts? I'm going to go ahead and buy some new rear leaves wether...
