Wow thanks a ton that's a lot of good info. As for headlights I plan on getting a upgraded wiring harness and rampage h4 bulbs and lenses then taking tint film for windows and putting it on that way if I get pulled over I don't have to do anything but peel the film off. I'm building my rear bumper right now and don't really have a job. So money's tight I need to get nut strips or make something similar along With some more parts before I get the exterior going on to much. But I'll be painting the hood this summer.

I got my rear bumper started finally. I have it tacked up and ready to be welded on monday. I need to cut the stock one to fit over it and then weld on my tire carrier then I have to cut out square pieces of steel and weld a nut to it for my nut strips and I can put my gas tank skid on.

I'm using 3"x1.5" steel tubing and 1/4" plate. I have the hitch receiver tube too it just needs to be welded on.
The stock bumper fits over the tube so i can keep the stock end caps and make it blend nicely.
The rear tire rack I made last year
The tube tacked up.

My dad brought home a new truck to steal the axles out of for his jeep.
Ford 9" rear and a Dana 44 front. Only thing that's wrong about it is it's a pretty good truck
And for my jeep I have the rear bumper tube on now I just have to cut the old bumper and get the hitch welded on and frame tie ins built. And I can put my gas tank skid on.

Got my tabs for the tire rack welded on. Then I got a spindle type thing for the tire to swing in. So far its looking good hopefully I'll be done by Monday.

I went to the pick and pull and I got a grand Cherokee v8 tie rod, jeep badge I was missing, transmission cooler. We saw a t case skid but decided we can make one for free. My dad got a tie rod and drag link off of a full size wagoneer for his axle swap and a fender flare for my aunts jeep.
