That's great Eddie!
Hopefully I can make next years EJS and meet you and some of the other SoCal peeps. You do a great service to this community and it's well appreciated. Do I see an EVO bolt-on long arm in Lil Nemo's future???

Looks awesome
Great setup. 
I'm a big fan of the clean-cut, lift and tires on stock 17" wheels. With a rear bumper (which I know you're doing next), that's exactly how I'd do mine. Is that the OME JK Package Deal setup from Northridge? Minus wheels and tires, looks to be about $2K if I figure it right on their site. From your experience, what's the typical install labor cost on all of that?

For those of you who are interested, we just completed Stage 1 of our lil' Nemo build and here are some pics of what it looks like now. As you will see, it's now sitting on a set of Old Man Emu HD Coils and Long Travel Shocks and sitting on a set of brand new 35x12.50 Goodyear MT/R's with Kevlar tires. Additional components include JKS front and rear adjustable track bars, Currie Enterprise adjustable upper control arms, JKS Quicker Disconnects, Northridge4x4 rear adjustable sway bar links, Crown extended brakelines front & rear and Spidertrax wheel spacers so that we could run factory 17" Sahara Wheels....
Here are before pics....
And after pics....
For those of you who've noticed, we did throw on a hand-me-down PUREJEEP stubby front bumper and PUREJEEP prototype rock rails and added a brand new Mile Marker v10 winch.....
And, last but not least, we installed a brand new ARB air compressor with tire inflation kit under our hood. I should note that we tested this out over the weekend and it works great!!!
If you would like to see more pics of our new build, click on the link below:

While I haven't had a chance to test this setup on the rocks, I have driven it around town and can tell you this. Compared to a stock X, the ride is comfortable yet firm. If anything, I would say that it now feels more like our Rubicon did stock but a bit more responsive. I have had no issues with performance, handling or ESP since installing everything but I will be sure to keep you all up to date if anything comes up.
All the parts you see featured on our JK were acquired from Northridge4x4 and if you're interested in any of them, that's where you can go to buy them.
