    Nice start up, I definitely like the roll bar & Suspension setup. I have a 96 as well, but my paint is bad and the doors have dents.

    Ok pulled the diff and changed the bushings. Also finished the left side completely.

    Bushings out.



    Bushings back in.



    Rear back together.



    Air hammer solves all. Removed the rear bushings in about 5 min total for both. Super easy.



    I have these to install soon....and lots more to come.



    Off to work...more to come later.

    Figured out the color. Going to do the purple with about 6 coats of clear. Should look nice with the green rollbar.

    Not sure what color to do the vents in the hood? I am not sure about the green? Body color? Aluminum color? Flat black?

    What color do you guys think?
