No I'm bidding on a couple mustang shifters from late 60's.  They seem like they would do an ok job.  Your welcome to check the old one out.

going with some 34s on the defender. Although they will fit stock, I'm going with a 2" ome lift and 2" rear shock drop. Thinking of selling my jeep. It's a beautiful rig, but its not a defender.

Actually went with custom three link and 3" and 35s. Ordered complete toyota swap with lockers for front and rear. Making custom rock bars and skid plates everwhere. Custom jerry can rack on the swingaway tire setup is being worked on now. Still contemplating the diesel swap and then I will have nothing left to do.

Well, as soon as Benji get the rebuild kit this weekend, we'll have a new tranny in the beast and get her running (and no more mud pit in that jeep) we've decided to make a rig just for mudding lol  :bounce:

I did this a  few weeks ago, but I didn't like the cheapo LEDS tails from O'Reilly so I bought some American Superlights... (only $5 more) and they have 3x as many leds in them.. anyway.. I got the clear ones that light up red when you hit the brakes, use blinkers or tails.. I really like the way they look... being clear and all.

Well, recently I sold my CJ7 and bought a YJ.  I'll be updating this and perhaps make a build thread in fab forum with what it is going to become.

So come on, someone has to have done something to their jeep recently?????   :bigeyes:

Yesterday, I took off the beat up door surrounds and put new ones in their place. . Does that count?

Well since I started thread it seems I should update it.  I'm building another YJ and have thread dedicated to it in the fab forum.

Looks good, Zuk.  You should work a trade with Yota for his bling-bling diff covers to match your shiny wheels.......... :vroam:

Honestly, it's looking very good man.
