Back in the Saddle

[mgreen84]

I have been a forum user and Naxja Member for a while but ironically I sold my last XJ almost a year ago and have been Jeep-less since.... Well recently I got the itch again and picked up this 85 Laredo, ..... it started out as grey in color but my buddy and I rolled it with Satin Police Green and added the nice little door piece (LOL).. we have a donor rig for all the lift components and plan on using the BFG 33's.... just thought I would share since I am back in the saddle again!,, We also plan to add a few more inches with shackles/spacers once we get the lift off the old one and on the green one....

The project......

The donor vehicle (unibody damage, rust and bad t-case kept us from using this one as the project)
