Benatc1's Big Black to be named later build thread 2.0

Was able to get a lot done in terms of swapping between yesterday afternoon/evening and this morning. had to take a break to head into work but got the rear end swapped in and suspension installed, then moved onto the front, swapped in my PR44 and suspension, had trouble getting the front axle lined correctly so had to take it back apart but should be able to wrap it up and get it driveable this evening.

Looking good! Isn't it great working on a brand new vehicle that isn't all shitted up with road grime, grease, & what not underneath it? Bolts come right off, you don't look like you just washed yourself in dirt & oil, tie rods pop right off....

Yeah we had 4 Jeeps and its a nice moderate trail looking forward to getting back out there to explore the side trails.
 
Look's good. You'll really like the additional space. Had I done more research I'd have gone auto too. Oh well the manual makes it just that much more fun...:crazyeyes:

Thanks man! I already love the 4 door and I know I'll miss the manual just driving around but it will pay off on the rocks!
 
first trip down the road was a success. still have a bunch of little things to swap over, as well as putting the 2 door back together but at least I'm back on the road!
