Finally pulled the trigger on some 33x10.50 bfg's. I decided to clean up the original wheels, paint em up , and run em. FreeFree came through with some hubcaps , but the rears were too big and they wouldn't snap on properly. I took the fronts anyways, I need to source some for the rear, I was thinking of calling wheel vintiques, pretty sure they have them. I'm real happy with the way the wheels came out and how the jeep looks with the wheel/tire combination.

Bought a windshield frame from Mika, it was damaged, so I fixed it using a washer, a file, welder, and a grinder.

Spent a lot of time repairing the body, did a lot of sheet metal welding. Fixed the floors.

The frame on this jeep was in great shape, I wanted it look like new, so I spent countless hours wire wheeling the surface rust. In the end I suppose it was worth it.
