Howdy. New to the forum, but not to jeeps, trucks and wheeling. i'm from SD. i usually go under Premo on other forums (its my name) but i guess there was a minimum of letters or something. anyways...so, i picked this thing up from a guy in Riverside area this spring. it had a RE 3.5 super flex lift, some generic shocks, a CB, some new 31s and that was about it. i fixed a bunch of minor things and began my work on it last week.

To date specs are:

RE 5.5 LA
RE 4.5" rear springs and boomerang shackles
Bilstein 5100 series 12" travel shocks
Currie drag/tie rod
rebuilt and ported steering box (ram is on order)
IRO track bar and bracket
D30 new upper, passenger side control arm mount
SS brake lines
35x12.5 with Staun bead locks. mixed procomp and MT claws FR and RR
Cobra CB w/Firestick
rock lights on FR and RR bumper, and above both axles underneath
OR Fab front and rear bumpers (not sure if i'm keeping the front.
Warrior Products roof rack. taken off in some pictures to clear the garage door

i'm sure i'm leaving some stuff off. anyways, i'm headed back home (Tahoe) in a few weeks to pick up my 1 tons. i have a gang of tube for my cage. i literally just started and did all this work last week. no pictures yet off road, hope to have some soon. work is killing me. here's some pics.

Anyways...thats my rig. the front fenders need some more trimming. i'm going to cut the back quarter too. all in good time. i really sort of just started working on this thing last week.

oh yea, the old lift is for sale. $400 for everything. Control arms, springs front and rear, shocks, brake lines, etc. its all less then a year old and in very good condition.

Welcome to the forum dude! Nice to see another San Diego boy pop up!!! Dig the switch set up! Gonna have to steel that one. Nice rig too.

I see you stuff for sale to. Might have better luck in the FS section.
 
Welcome!

Sexy beast you have there!
 
thanks guys. cant wait to pick up my full widths next month. prob step up to 37s. in hindsight, i wish i went with the 7.5" springs. Oh yea, i have a compressor and am working on onboard air right now. this thing is the never ending project.

caliXJ+ i tried doing a FS post earlier but i think since it was my first post it got red flagged or something. i'll try again later. thanks for the heads up :)

this is/was my JK before it went under the knife for the 3rd time lol it was a boner stock X with the 29" pizza cutters haha 513s, 6", rock krawler tie rod, gussets all over the place, etc etc. most of that stuff wasnt there in the pic. i essentially put it on the stands, dropped everythign below the frame rails and replaced everything. axles included.
