Well, just picked up the Jeep from 4 Wheel Parts. I'm very impressed with the Lift! The Jeep looks extremely goofy though without rims and tires. But it'll have to do for now til I buy some in a few weeks or so! It'll get there! Eventually I'm gonna upgrade the lift to a Long Arm Kit later on down the road!
Ignore the crooked Wrangler Unlimited Decals, I was WAY OFF when I put those on!

How's it goin everyone! Haven't done anything new to the other than the lift... Saving up for 18in Rugged Ridge Wheels, 37in Tires(haven't decided on what brand), 5.13 gears, and new diff covers. Of course the list goes on and on, but that's on the top of the list for now! Me and the wife took to Jeep out for a ride to Box Canyon, but we didn't get too far. Once we got there after ten minutes of being on the trail the shift linkage to the transfer case broke.... It was 112 degrees out, and I didn't bring gloves to manually shift it into two wheel drive. So we turned it around and cruised back in 4hi. Luckily it wasn't in 4low cuz that would've taken forever to get back home! Took it to a local mechanic this morning and it'll be done tomorrow afternoon. But I did take a few pictures on the trail! Was planning to take a lot of pictures, but like I said, we didn't get too far! Maybe next weekend :-)
Here are the few pictures I took! (The Jeep getting its flex on)
The Wifey having a good time!

Thanks man! It's definitely takes time! Yeah, the LJ was a hard decision to make, but I wanted a JK so bad! Thanks for your comments, very much appreciated! Just got my diff covers in for the Jeep.
