Totally agree, I'm just going to wait for the shocks that came with it to go out, then I'll get some Bilsteins for it.

Figured it was time to test fit my doors just to make sure I didn't have to do any structural changes to the body and thankfully none are needed just gonna be a pain to line them up

Well I had that second one from that front clip I got but it had a few dings so I called the local blasting place they want 140 to blast it so figured be better off just getting a new one and won't have to worry about any filler at all!

Welcome, and awesome progress so far! What color are you going to go with for the final product? You have a chance to have a very uniquely colored jeep!

I was looking at these the other day but it has metallic which will be harder to keep an even coat so I'm looking into some different colors yet
