Looks good, I'm a newb myself. check out my build what's next on your to do list?

Well ive already changed the rear triangulated link and converted it to 4 link. I think I will get some new shocks with more travel. Just not sure which ones to do yet. Also ive been working on somme new bumpers kinds a slow project for those guys but hopefully in a couple weeks ill have them done. Also thinking of doing a snorkel for it and building a roof rack. What y'all think?

looking good man, if you are interested in making a snorkel, heres a little DIY i done, you can only do it if you do not mind chopping up your dingo cage, any ways heres the link, snorkel for jeep cherokees and comanches hope this helps
