small update...the last few parts will be here this Friday. Unfortunately (but fortunately) I am away next week with the jeep so I have to wait at least 2-3 weeks from now until I can do it!

ALMOST THERE!!!!

tentative date is now the 14-15th of May!!

Hope you can get to VT easily from Albany. By the way, I'm like 3 hours northwest of you. Good luck with the build.

All parts are in! Date is set, start after work May 14th and call in "sick" the 15th. I have been spraying all bolts with lubricant for a couple weeks periodically so hopefully it should be smooth (jinxed myself didn't I?).

YAY! I will try and take plenty of pictures!

You all will probably hate me but the rear springs and shocks are being done by he local spring place. Today 5/14/13.

A buddy and I will finish the front tonight though so I will take pics then!

So I lied about all the pics. I was to focused on the job at hand. Plus you can see we lost the day light. Overall no problems in the front except the spring retainer bolt on the right side spun out, so it's got to be re tapped.

Looks good. I'm digging that wheel tire combo. Did you need adapters to make those fit?

Small update:

Installed the rustys crossmember and rebalanced the wheels tonight. No more vibration! Feels like it did pre lift, very happy.

Next of the to do list is getting a-pillar brackets and installing the Hellas.

After that, the saggy headliner...plaid was mentioned and sounds amazingly awesome.
