Haven't made any actual progress, but:
Got the 31x10.5 on the new wheels.
 Picked up a full sidekick power steering set-up,  rear seat.
 Got a set of YJ springs.

probably forgetting some stuff.

Just need to start selling off all my other toys so I can aford to get the trailtough YJ suspension kit, 4 speed auto trans  & other parts needed,  so I can actualy start working on this thing. ::)

Finaly got  some YJ brackets made so I could get started on this thing. Used a template I found on line.  But after making them all & then test fitting 1, I kindof wish I would have done them differantly (oh well they will work for now).  

If anyone want a set I could get a set made for around $50  (might be a bit less)  they are cut on a C&C plaz table.



Still need to figure out what to do for shackles.  any sugestions?
