Thanks camp. One day I'll have to add up what I've laid out. Ain't going to be pretty but still less than if I bought a LJ Rubicon.

Seems like every time I say I'm nearing the end of a phase something goes haywire so I'm not going to jinx things this time.

That being said. I received the replacement slider yesterday. We will do the mock up tomorrow and then paint and install. With all that's gone on I don't expect any problems this time.

To round out the body armor I picked up a set of lower quarter panel armor from DirtBound. Those will be installed over the next couple days and the rust spot we found on pass side lqp will be prepped and treated.

Orfab armor has been installed and all the little remaining items are pretty much done.

Thanks Pockets. The build over the last year has been fun and educating but at times felt like I was throwing money down a hole.

Got that right. Things are good here. Got the call I was hoping for. The armor is done and XJ ready for pickup. Heading out Saturday can't wait.
