Well i have the jeep back, the sliders are welded on along with the cross member and a semi alignment done.
Had to get a new steering box, so i ordered a durango steering box today.
Will be picking it up tomorrow/today (since its 2am)
Also today i picked up a new oil cap because my old one was leaking like a MF'er. Going to see if this fix's where all my oil is coming from.
Also got enough wire (0 gauge) to do my power inver and on board air in the rear. Now that i have all the wire i am half way tempted to just run a dual battery, I am thinking of doing a battery box in the rear along with an optima battery possibly. I dont know just yet, that will be a summer mod i believe.
In the next month or so this is my TO DO list-
Install steering box
get the rest of the alignment done after the putting the box in.
Get a WJ brake booster, mod to fit
Install extended brake lines
then bleed brakes
Installing my other 4 lights onto roof rack (one on each side and two on the back)
get a rim for my spare tire!
Buy a HI LIFT
Buy a ****** block for my winch
Build rear bumper
install a hoop on my front bumper
install d ring bars on my front bumper
Change all fluids
clean interior (maybe clean the carpet and seats VERY well.
Cut the rear fenders and spray them.
DO the CAD mod because my lines are now not long enough after my lift.
Re do my mounting area for all of my switches
Make a mount for my cb and hide all the wires.
That should be it. I will update as i go.

Mine has stood up well to its abuse.


Pictures might not show it well, but I've got rock rash all down them. I also built a skid off the removable third member.
I'm also running the 5100's.

Heck yea, I'm excited to get it on the trails!
First thing i have to do is get this steering box in there. Then get these brake lines on and ill be ready to go ride some.
I got the manual trans crossmember (i baught it used and didnt know if it would work, it actually benifited me because it tropped my stuff by an inch so i dont really have any drive line vibes)

Offroad, yes. Unlimited more. They were brand new with less than 160 miles before they went wheeling and handle great all over. 2 of my 33's were worthless for wheeling. On road, I miss the power.
I'm geared at 4.56's though.
