got the fenders back today, and the windshield finally got installed.
Would have had the windshield wipers and cover on, but I apparently lost the 2 bolts that hold the windshield motor on, so gotta make a trip to the dealer to pick them up, along with the seat belt bolt that I stripped out and the plastic cover for the antenna that I broke....
The wheels and tires are in also, I got the TPMS sensors taken out and they were about to put them in the other wheels, but I got called back to work......maybe tomorrow....I have to contact the Linex guy and hopefully he can squeeze me in friday.
Behind schedule, but still moving forward.......

i'm so in love w/ olive drab that it makes a tear fall fom my eye in envy 
...my jeep WILL be this color someday, but it's looking great and i can't wait to see the finished product....you didn't do the paint yourself did you? either way would you mind posting up a roundabout price on what it cost you to do this?

For all the paint questions:
MILSPRAY 39094 paint @ 189/gallon
sand and sprayed @ 800
broken clips, stripped bolt and plastic cover for antenna @ 50
New decals(vin, emissions, tire loading and mercury warning) @ 200
This could be done for around 1200-1400 with ease......could prolly paint it yourself with a compressor and an HVLP gun.....if it was any other kind of paint, I personally wouldn't do it, but with it being completely flat paint, it's hard to mess up the paint job.
I ended up paying a total of about 1800....had to pay rush shipping on the MILSPRAY paint after I bought crappy paint from TCP global(150 or 200 can't really remember).
When all is said and done, I'll be about 11-12k deep(or about 18-20K if I had someone do all the work for me)......all of a sudden I completely comprehend what JEEP is short for
