Thanks a lot guys. I can't wait to have my first real off road toy! It should be done today now my only issue is getting my 5'4'' wife into it! I feel like i'm gonna have to carry around a step ladder or something. All kidding aside I am really excited and glad that I have the opportunity to work with Rebel Off Road, their work is top notch and they have a really good group of knowledgable and friendly guys. I got to hang out yesterday on my day off and watch the build process while taking pictures. I got to check out some of the other builds that they have and are currently working on and I can confidently say that these guys know what they are doing.

coming along great

BigSteve

Well I picked up the Jeep a little late today and the weather isn't great so I snapped a couple of quick photos for you guys to show you what it looks like now. I am so happy I literally can't stop grinning like a big idiot! Needless to say I also have some stock parts to get rid of now. Now I just need to do a little cutting on the fenders and the bumpers.

Looks great! I have a buddy who just got those same wheels for his rig!

BigSteve

You know when I saw the pics of them I liked them but now that I have them on my Jeep I really do love them. These Black Rock wheels have an almost factory look to them but still look custom. Really nice quality too.

The BS is good one them as well no spacers required!

BigSteve

Yeah that was one of the reasons I got them. I know spacers work just fine but my own paranoia doesn't want me to use them. It personally just makes me nervous to use spacers.

Here is a little bit more thorough view of what happened up front. Drag link flip kit, Teralfex stabilizer w/flip kit, Artec lower control arm mount skids and c-gussets. Front diff cover from American Rebel MFG. Artec front axle truss. Here's a shot of the back side with the Adam's Driveshaft front shaft. All drooped out.

I got the Rebel Off Road hood decal installed. I also installed the American Rebel MFG rear diff cover. Hopefully this weekend I will get around to triming the fenders and bumpers.
