I was bored today so I decided to practice welding.

I started with a flag holder that a buddy of mine made for me. I had a couple of skulls that I got from Ballistic Fab. So I thought my flag holder could use some decorating.

I think it turned out pretty good. I know my welding is pretty sorry but it's the second time I turned the welder on so I have plenty on learning to do.

I decided to do a little mod on the front grill. I have always disliked the large thick slats in the grill so I decided to mod them.

This is the start of the project. The slats I'm talking about are the grill looking things in the center of 8 sections that make up the grill of the early ZJ.

 This is the back side of the grill and you can get a better look at the slats I intend to get rid of. I ust my dremel tool with a cutting wheel attachment to do the cutting. Then I follow up with a Bastard hand file and sand paper to clean things up.

The shocks from Zone Offroad are installed and the ride has improved 100%. No bouncing down the road.

As you can see the shocks were in dire need of some help. The front shocks could be compressed by hand with very little effort and they wouldn't extend unless you tapped them with something. The rear shocks were some kind of air shock but they didn't hold any air.

They new shocks from zoneoffroad.com are made for a 2" lift ( i put on a 2" BB lift) and are a great improvement from what I had.
