As of right now I'm going to overhaul the whole brake system and after that I'm not sure, been thinking SYE or a locker for the front !

Headlight assembly are off of a '97 TJ, had to make brackets to make them fit, and a lot of cutting !

Sweet vents I have the same ones. Good to see you covered you windshield when cutting. I used a cutoff wheel on mine and the sparks left a haze on a small section of my windshield. Luckily I figured it out quickly and covered the windshield to stop any more damage.

I really like those round lights too they turned out great.

Thanks, yeah sparks sure were flying, I placed the vents all over the hood trying to find where they looked best but settled on where the hottest part of the hood was, I was going to put them in the same spot the 5.9 Grand Cherokee has them but I think they turned out best in the center of the hood, love the way the heat billows out of the vents !

Looks like a front hitch to me but I could be wrong
