Thank you everyone for the compliments!! Today was slow going, but the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

Dude, that's is gonna be a sick Jeep when you're done!
You must be rich!
Oh, if you're gonna put LOD bumpers on, you should go ahead and order them now. Maybe you'll have them by the time you are ready to put them on! From what I hear, they take a while!

Yeah, I am not 100% sold on the LOD bumpers. What i want i am having a hard time finding. I havne't found a bumper out there that is resonalbly priced, doesn't reduce my approach/departure angle, allows me to use my stock fogs, and fits my powerplant winch.

I REALLY like the MORE shorty but...alas, it says on their website that theirs won't fit my powerplant winch.

Some new updated pictures...hope everyone enjoys!!

I am within an hour of being complete, although I have no idea how I am going to jack up the jeep high enough to get the tires mounted without the Jeep falling off the jack stands. I had a slight scare today as the weight shifted and I was literly sitting on one jack stand on one side with the jack on the other and the jeep was teetering back and forth (kind of scarry)...Anyway, here are some pictuers :-)













Sorry no pictures of moving the front axle...









All that I lack is getting a set of driveshafts (have to measure first), and get the front springs, brakes, and ABS stuff connected up and the axles are.......INSTALLED!
