So, Hearther got me a Christmas present (a lot better than the old navy boxers I usually get), it's a 87 yj, spring over with 4" springs and a 3" body lift, 60/14, 5.13's and locked, 42 tsl's, corbeau seats and I got some PRP child seats, custom dash, arb bumper with 9k lb warn, there is a build of this on cmsja.org, 4.0, t-176. 231 with long travel shafts, front has SR and rear has revolver shackles and z-boxes, so for a test ride we went to hawk pride and it did good imo, so for future plans, i thought about a 231/300 doubler since I already have both, i also want to stretch it some but I don't really want to comp cut it, I thought about taking the cj7 tub and cutting about 6-8 inches and adding it to the yj in the wheel tub area. Throw some suggestions out there.

gen right rear corners so you don't have to comp cut.... Or you could buy blanks and do your own wheel well cut where ever you wanted it.... I'd still think about pulling the body lift and lowering it back down like we talked about earlier. There are a few good kits for the 231/300 doubler kit. You'll also have to run a flip kit for the 300 to get it on the correct side for your D60.

I added a set of prp seats, a pre-teen and a baby, with harnesses for the kids, right after I got it, and they are nice. Ally really loves them, she will go to the shop door and say jeep. I have been working on a set of rails to add to the sliders, and today the brown santa stopped by the house and dropped off a set of pressed wheel centers and stiffners for the H1 wheels I have, now just have to get busy. I wish i could remember to take photos like RC, maybe one day.

I take a lot because I always look back in the future and wish I kept a better record of stuff, especially when I'm putting something together I took apart earlier and can't remember how it went back together.
You have any of the finished product?
How do you like the seats? Are they comfortable?

If you're anything like me your "spare" time is pretty much non-existent.
