What's your rig look like now?

[bosco01xj]

It seems as though posts in the rig directory are few and far between. Can we start a thread for recent pics of rigs? What's yours look like now? (Driveway/yard shots preferred.)

I'll start.

33s. This was maybe 1 and a half - 2 years ago.

35s. This is how she sits now.

Well this is pretty cool. This was the photo I had in the directory, just lifted it, stock 235/75/15s.

This is how she is sitting in the driveway now. 33's, 6.5" lift, geared with a D44, 4.7L, cut painted and what not. Oh and some experience under the belt, with scars to prove it. Quite the difference.

Here is my MJ. I'm currently saving money for tires...other than that and needing to extend the front brake lines she's ready to go. 10B front, 14B welded rear 5.13 gears, twin sticked D-300, front leaf conversion. The top pic is the most recent.

My '78 CJ5. 304/T150/D20. Nearly all stock/original...86K miles. On 31's with 1 piece shafts in the AMC 20 rear. Pulling my '67 M416 trailer.

LED's just installed

And my crusty LOOONG term restomod project '67 J3000 class C motorhome. Plan to put the good cab I have along with the RV end of it onto 1 ton dodge cummins chassis and then chop down the frame of the jeep and turn it into a ratrod using the original AMC 327 V-8...rebuilt of course. It might be done by the turn of the next century...but it was FREE!

Shorty, I think you have one of my favorite rigs. I freaking LOVE those half-doors.

:cheers: thanx-- they definitely make it easier to spot a front wheel if you need to, but more importantly, they let the local meth-heads get what they want without breaking any windows!
