I brazed some shock hoops on  And started the roll cage, I ran out of metal and braze so this is as far as I got    The axles are done and able to mount I just have them on another project right now. |

That's one wicked Jeep! I have been searching my local thrift stores hoping for the same thing. I like how you made the interior work out. Also a great job on the stinger/winch set up.
