Nice score on the light bar! The PO of my Jeep put those same lights on before I bought it and they were just as rusty and junky. I was going to restore them and use them instead of Jabscos but decided against it since they're only $12 lights and a few of them just fell apart from all the rust when I took them off the bar. Looking forward to seeing your build.

So what. Started asa a simple fuel filter replacement turned me finding out that my frame is shot. So after yelling obscenities for an hour. My friend and I did a quick search on Craig's list and found a great solid frame only an hour away went and took a look at it and made the decision to do it right so now I'm in the process of wire grinding the the whole thing and sealing so we shouldn't have to worry about this again. A little setback but I feel in the long run it work out for the best.

It's going well just taking more time than originally thought, but the frame swap kinda came from out of nowhere but in the overall scheme of things I think it will be a good thing that way it's done don't have to worry about it anymore. Still need to find some missing pieces that bring a pain to find such as winch, OEM fog lights, rear fog lights and a few others. Hopefully I'll be able to locate them soon thanks for showing interest

It was warm Sunday so I decided to get to work on stripping the new frame for the frame swap not too bad today I was able to get the old leaf springs off which were a royal pain in the butt had to cut the bolts off to remove them but I only had two broken bones bolts and the rest of them came off pretty easy started sending down the frame I'm really surprised at just how solid this Frame is this thing is almost shining but I think once I do the POR treatment I think this thing will rock
