    I understand acerwin about the driving on the roads. I built my JKU to wheel and that is what it does. It is street legal and has tags and insurance for when I take it to the gas station to fill it up, and to drive to the nearby trails. It's really a trailer queen, and is not all that fun to drive at 70mph.

    I plan on doing the same thing with my rig when the time comes. I probably wouldn't even put tags on it to be honest lol.

    Full hydro isn’t fun to drive on the roads either haha. Also wanting to get some stickies later down the road and I’d rather not waste them on the highway.

    We all sell our projects eventially. When you sell yours, let me know. I have a friend who wants to one day buy his son a well built XJ for wheeling.

    Picked up a double cardan off a stock front drive shaft. Pretty sure this will fix the problem.

    That lame ass droop from 4.5” leaf springs. Shackle relocation needs to hurry up and get here. 06D2BBD4-901C-485F-85D4-3F8DD43D1077.jpg

    It’s starting to come to an end. Not much left at all. Just little things I forgot about that’s adding up.
