SYE is in, front and rear drive shafts are ordered and also ordering taller coil springs, UCA's and a drop pitman arm. No wheeling this weekend but hopes are high for next weekend!

Jeep is home and looking good! Front coils didn't help as much as I was hoping to level it. Might have to look into a different rear shackle. Bummer, I'll get some better pics this weekend out on the trails!

Couple of pics from yesterday. Nothing to exciting, had trouble finding much around me that was open. Should get into some fun this weekend though.

Took the jeep out today! Had some fun before it got to hot. Impressed with how it rode! Definitely need a locker in the rear, but that's a bit down the road.

Installed some rear seat covers. Ordering front covers and hood vents on Friday. Long term plans will be a 8.8 rear swap, 4.56 gears and a locker in the rear end. Gonna install the bushwacker flares this weekend. Before axle and gears I'll be doing some armor. Sliders, f&r diff covers and front skid plate. The list is always growing.
