2008 JK Finally Coming Together
After a year of gathering parts and waiting on installing she is done with Stage 1. Last Friday I had the tuffy overhead box, Hella 500 driving lights with daystar dash panel, Shrockworks sliders and Teraflex leveling kit installed. I have to say it looks pretty nice. I do need to clean up the wiring of the lights and tuffy box, but other than that I am pleased.
The Shrockworks sliders came over a year ago and I never opened them. The had a ding in the passenger side slider. Oh well, nothing I can do now. Kinda disappointing though. I have to say for all the money I have spent on the Shrockworks stuff their quality control on powder coating is lackluster.
I will post more pictures soon. Also, I will post plans for Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Here are the pictures I promised.
Teraflex mounted on bottom left instead of top right.
Not happy with the ground wiring on the bumper. Going to clean it up soon.

I know you said your going to clean up the wiring on the bumper but I just had to put in my 2c. I would move the ground wire under the hood and if your going to use but splice connectors you should use watertight (heatshrink) ones so your wires don't get wet inside and corrode. I personally prefer the solder and heat shrink tubing method. Jeep looks great though. Keep it coming.
unless is a two piece and we are only seeing one piece
