What, you don't have an airbrush for touching up your welds? Fucking amateurs.

BTW Nick, you need to get under your rig and take pictures of the oddball brackets on the inner sides of the frame right near the rear sway bar upper link mounts. Yours is the second TJ I've seen with them and I forgot again to take a pic. They look like miniature OEM frame side body mounts with absolutely no discernible use on a TJ.

The jeep came out amazing.

It looks like a show car, I'd be scared to take it out on the trail.

Thanks man! Blaine has a way of making ones vision a reality. Although, it’s not quite show car quality until I clean all the oil off from underneath from a few years of that rear main leaking

I’m itching to get it on the trails though and counting the days until Moab!

i dig that rear TB reloc bracket, it's looks higher than most (if i'm not mistaken).

It isn't much if any higher. Just enough height to get the joint in there above the old bracket. It does tip forward nicely though.

Impressive!! Yellow is the best!

That little bent piece of plate he used to transition the front shock bracket to the upper spring perch works very well. Nice touch Blaine.
