I'm not sure if it's been said but I think a big ol' Cummins "C" on the side will draw alot of attention from diesel people and not just Jeep fans.

I'm sure there will be good brand recognition with this Jeep when its finished. There are various ways we can display our logo, and I'm sure there are plans in the works for this.

In the mean time, we've got more updates on the progress. Work on the cage is going well, and it is beginning to take shape. The reinforcement will help make this Jeep as safe as possible, while still maintaining clearance under the hard top.

The Pitbull Rocker 44" tires also came in today. Can't wait to see them stuffed under the body for a teaser pic. Big thanks goes out to the guys at Pitbull... Tires are 44/19.5/20. With the wide and aggressive tread pattern these tires should perform well in most trail conditions and some street driving as well.

It will have a Currie 70 rear, 60 front, along with Axletech portal hubs. No rockwells on this JK.

Portals are awesome....This is a buddy's chopped XJ with portal hubs running 42s...soo much ground clearance.

I've been told they portals add about 4.5" of clearance...the 42's look massive even with the JK in the back ground. Can't wait to see some wheels/tires/axles under this Jeep!

The turbo's came in this week, as well as the power tank. BD Diesel has stepped up with a set of compound turbo's that are really going to give us the added boost in performance we're expecting out of this 12 valve. The 3 piece manifold will also help minimize any heat deflection or issues that surround the factory manifolds on the cummins engines...

The power tank will be mounted to the rear section of the new cage once it's complete. Here's a few pictures:
