Im going to try and hit all the questions so far right here.
Drewder - Going to regear to 4.88 just havent wanted to spend the money yet and still trying to decide if i want to find a d44 or go with the 8.8. probably 8.8
thanks Nick for moving this.
Winston - gauges still in my garage. Turkey season just ended and its rained nonstop for like 2 weeks.
fenders are marked to be trimmed. probably this weekend
Mike37 - no idea what happened on the dent on passenger side roof. was like that when i bought it. kind of looks like a tree fell on it. i think i can knock it out when i do my headliner.
No sye but no vibrations either. i have a transfer case drop right now.
Bamaxj - new meats? i kind of like the ones i have. high tread and i got all 5 mounted and balanced for only $200.
c-loss - planning long arms but not there yet money wise.
still need to do bumpers and planning on bedlining inside and out. Also planning on some sort of hybrid roll cage/exo skeleton. I've seen some stuff i like and i can do all the fab work and welding myself. By the way has anyone come across OD green bedliner. that is what i want to do on the outside but cant find OD green anywhere.
thanks guys. more pics to come. should i start a build thread even though i've already done the lift?

definitely planning on chromos and hd joints. probably going to do an 8.8 swap in the rear. i have a couple of extra d30's that i got with the jeep so if one or two break its not that big a deal. I'm in the oil industry so i am trying not to spend too much right now...lol.

Jake, post some pics after you figure out your HB tube door design. I'll probably pay you to make me a set if they turn out good. We have short summers here in Washington but, I plan on enjoying it as much as possible with some doors off 4wheeling once it warms up enough.
this is the lifted twin of my jeep lol ...very nice job...def got my mind wondering haha also i am willing to bet it is a 92' sport auto just like mine except i'm 2wd for now oh well have a great time modding it more

i am thinking about adding another couple inches to mine. why are you thinking about taking yours back off? what did you use to get the extra inches and if you take it off do you want to sell it?

i used a 2" spring spacer in the front and a 3" block in the rear (dont hate me i know how everyone feels about blocks) i always liked a little more lift in the rear. and they are not that expensive you can find them anywhere. to answer your other question im was gonna take the extra lift out cause when i turned either way my front wheels would wobble kinda like death wobble but i think i might need an alignment too considering i just put the lift on not too long ago or new tre's and balljoints
