Let me rephrase that, my roommate says no.
We still might just go to the courthouse, she’s undecided if she wants a big wedding or not.
She wants one.
Mine said she didn’t.
148 people and 48k later.....

I think your ideas of big and small are different.
All women want small weddings, with 100+ people they don't even know.

Well the ring I got her was 3 times as much as all the ones she was picking out.. screwed myself on that part.
So back to the blazer. Maybe I’ll just sell the body and frame, finish up my 1 ton JK swap axles, throw a 6 inch stretch rock crawler suspension on the 2 door and 1 tons

Or go see if I can get a prescription for ritalin?
Or, lower the Escalade 2/3 inches, add air bumps and bypass shocks.
Better
There’s plenty of room to move the coilover forward and down 1 inch( down to help lower the Escalade), then the bypass would need to be mounted down about 2.5 inches to clear the hydroboost, but plenty of room for that too it looks like.
Got the crane inner C cleaned up and the old tube knocked out, so I have 2 good ones to work with now. Also went and got the Dana 80 out from under the donor pickup. I’m thinking just turn down the Dana 80 tubes from 4” to 3.75” and bore out the crane inner C’s from 3.5” to 3.75” then make a front steer the exact same measurements as my ford Dana 60 so I can reuse the axleshafts I bought for it.
And a picture of a girl driving the Jeep this weekend, rear locker stopped working for some reason so I told her to use more skinny pedal.

Just go to 44 or 47 inch tires then the body to tire gap will look like you lowered it. Much simpler! Oh and switch to front and rear steer portal axles since you are starting from scratch with the rear anyway.
My buddy had a set of the 45” sx2 tires a while back almost brand new... thought about it. At a certain point I should’ve just gone back 2 years and started with axletechs 
So I went on to check ig during lunch and your caddy popped up again. Except it was expedition portal, posting up they have a breakdown of the build another home built monster. I haven't looked at expoportal, but that's pretty cool. Even the khacki overlander types dig it.
Woah that’s awesome! I forgot they messaged me asking for details
Yeah, the Mercedes/Gaz is more like something Jeremy Clarkson would build. Not nearly as cool as the Cad.
