Here's Lil Red
Shortly after purchasing a 91 Laredo off of eBay for Mrs Howler, I decided it was time for ME.
Picked up this from craigslist for $1500

Rather quickly I started on modding "Lil Red"
Installed a set of 4WD Hardware's 3" rear leafs (military-wrapped)
and HCP's first set of 2" coil spring spacers with 2 insulators:

Had tons of rust repairs on front and rear floors.
Threw on some white wagon wheels wrapped with Firestone Destination A/T 31x10.5

Flattened out front crossbar on roof rack and mounted some rectangular BAJA brand lights.

Removed the bumper ends, and added HCP's first adjustable trackbar.

Created HCP's first brakeline extender and added some longer bumpstops for the rear:

Installed a 1" TC drop:
Whipped up HCP's first aluminum diamond-plate door sills:

Took the white wagon wheels with no center caps and mounted the stock caps:

Took visible vacuum canister from here:

And mounted it in front of the harmonic balancer here:

Installed a j/y Lund Bugshield and created the now infamous A-pillar light mounts. For which I mounted some 5 1/2" rounds that match the rect. roof lights...
And here is what Lil Red looks like so far:

red looks good... looking forward to more of your products

looks good those a pillar light mounts are growing on me.
Are TJ lines longer in the front too?
-
Unsure.
I corrected the info (my bad)
I used the YJ Emergency Brake cable... Almost TOO long.
Hmmmm...
Easy fix there...just have to go higher to take up the extra slack

Hey Howler, Lookin good...
-
Thats a really good post. Thanks. Love the pictures, but you knew that already. ;)

I am PLANNING on going doorless soon.
ALSO: Mrs Howler's 91 Laredo a.k.a. Jeepster will be getting some overdue attention.
Making XJ inbred leaf packs with military wrapped secondaries and creating custom coil spring spacers to match. Right now, I am unsure of total lift height. But ANYTHING is better than the saggy stock height.
Jeepster will be getting it trackbar replaced with a Light-Duty HCP adj. trackbar.
She mentioned something about wanting rock rails and OBA...
Eat your heart out guys...she's all mine and I plan on keepin her. :drool:

Looks good. Is the HSP adjustable trackbar a modified oem unit or completely aftermarket?
-
The HCP Light-duty adj trackbar is a modified oem Spicer replacement unit
