I saw you used 343219 KYB shocks on all 4 corners. Are you happy with the fitment? Would they work with a 2" lift?

That is a good question. I used the KYB's as they are pretty much the same length and size as the originals. Not sure if they would have enough travel for a 2" lift.

Pretty cool find. I was in Huntington beach going to a car show on the pier. I was looking for a parking spot a couple blocks up from the beach. I made a turn to pull onto a spot and there in front of me was this Patrol. A little worse for wear but hopefully it will get restored one day.

That one is "leave a note on the window" worthy. It needs to be put to good use! Maybe it is already, hope so.

Finally getting some paint on Desert rat. Much more to go but got the underside of the fenders, floor, bed and full firewall and engine compartment sides. I also found if you order a hood welting kit for a military jeep it makes perfect bed pad replacements.

I think it's complete BS that you SoCal guys can work on your projects through the summer.... :D

Mine's sitting just out there, covered in spiderwebs and dust, waiting for October

Remember- I'm going to need one of those hoods back (whichever one you don't end up using 8-) )
