Figured I'd share a customers build that I've been working on the past 6 months. It's also a primary reason why my stretched TJK project has been slowly progressing.
2 years ago, a local customer brought me his 12,000 mile LJ that had some major cancer going on, from the perspective of alot of rust and alot of suppression hackery. I raised the topic back in 2021, asking WTF?
