Preparation has continued.
Jeep is getting TF sleeves welded in Thursday, as well as Synergy ball joints. Gussets are already in.
I have ordered a flashpaq, 4 rear Currie control arms to push the axle back a bit, and a set of Trepadors. I haven't made my mind up with fenders yet, leaning toward PS crushers, though not sure if standard width or narrow. I may just run without any fenders for a few weeks to save up.

Looking good! To be honest, the tires look like they stuff pretty well in the fender, maybe just trim out the inners? Of course those 37's are a great excuse for flats!

These make quite a bit of contact with plastic
They ride fine on the street and I'm not a big fan of cut fenders. Once I do rear arms and a programmer, ill do fenders. Ill start with front fenders and if I need to ill just run naked in the back. I'm in CO and coverage doesn't matter. Then rear fenders of course.
Thanks for your input!

Couple questions from a noob.
From that last picture, looks like the tire is real close to rubbing the rear bumper. Are you doing 2 arms front and 2 rear? I know the front lower push the axle forward and I guess I'd assume rear lowers (?) do the same? Also, is it just the width of the 37 that makes it rub on the stock flares? I'm thinking the wheel is too wide for the well is all. What I like about the stockers is that everyone takes them off so if I were to rip mine off on a trail I could pick up replacements super cheap. I'm also not a huge fan of flat fenders anyway and like the stock look.
I think your rig looks great. Thanks for the pictures.

I figured I could put off worrying about fenders till early spring, be careful even on speed bumps!
There was enough articulation that the tires were hitting the fenders...

Haha. We're you on stock uncut like me right now? I don't care if the fenders get damaged, just nothing else. I figure ill buy fronts with tax money and cut/remove the rears for a while. I'm in the comparing/contrasting stage. And I'm ok with not wheeling til I get it all situated. Did you damage anything or just rub?
