My 03 buildup

[tommudd]

Since the 04 has over 220,000 miles, over 200,000 miles lifted its time for a new build on another one
Found an 2003 with 81,000 miles, verified one owner, always heated garage kept, all paperwork from day one on it.
Runs good, changed all fluids , done some upgrades like leather interior, swapped the stereo out for a later model one( had one with cassette and CD )
This will be a soft offroader build, more geared for long distance one lane roads exploring America so only a 2.5-2.75 inch lift, staying with smaller 265-70-16s etc but 4.10s / full skids
Now for some pictures
day zero before I bought it

Now what to do for a lift?
Since I loved the ride of my 04 with the JBA adjustable coilovers I knew what I had to install but how to pay for it
Well some things that I've had for over 50 years went bye bye to buy some new parts
OH before that after I sold the first lift it went back to stock height, here she is the Low Roller 03:happy175::happy175:
and a RL roof basket in this picture

NOW for some suspension parts

Fully adjustable front coilovers , with all 4 shocks being adjustable for compression and rebound
Should make for a great ride overall

also picked up 5 Moabs in great shape that I may use or may sell..........:shrug:

damnit! wish I'd known you'd put the 4xguards on with the brush bumper. there's a couple pics of that I'd have asked you to take, so I can see if those guards will work with my plow mount in place, and if not what kind of trimming I might need to do.
