Hoping I can get away with trimming my bumper a little and not hacking it up too much but I don't know...

Going to trim sheetmetal a bit more, lift another 1-2", bumpstop a bit more.

Trimmed bumper, hammered in floor, trimmed fenders, added 1" of bumpstop and 1.5" of lift. At full stuff, steering is somewhat limited but I have worked it so any rubbing surfaces are smooth metal now. Going to need longer shocks.

Moving to rear tomorrow at level suspension. Doubting it is going to need much trimming.

Been super busy lately. Definitely behind where I wanted to be by this point in the winter.

Added 1.5" of lift and bump to help clear tires. 10" shocks had to go so it got 12" Bilstein 5100s installed all around.



Driver's seat and harness done. Pass side seat ended up ~1" higher in the back due to ??? Dang unibodies? Needs adjusting then finish welding and all that.



Still have a long punch list of things to do, but seats/harnesses are the last major item. Until I find my tires don't fit once I actually get it flexed out.

I am starting to tire a bit of maintaining this thing. I could see myself being very happy with a lower maintenance (maybe) Atom/Moose type build but that would require me to emotionally unattach myself from this and then take on a lot more work than just patching or cutting this up until I'm happy.

The grass is only a tiny bit greener over here - and we can't go get ice cream, ever... :)

I told him that last night too! It wont be unattaching emotionally from jeep... It'll be his jeep turning into the look of the Dakota, not necessarily saying cutting up more into his jeep disappearing in a bad way. A new thing would become an attachment too, and a lot of work, but something fun to think about for future when there's time and space. Whatever the jeep ends up being in the future it will still be the same jeep, morphed in a good way. Like everyone, changes with age, and it's just progression and fun shaped into the cage!
