Got the carnage repaired fairly easily minus some hammering to sheet metal underneath fender and header panel...and decided to paint grille flat black

We went to top of the world from 202 and turned around and went back theres a big mud pit and we were messing around rob and tim made it out between some trees but mine decided it wouldnt but its all better now it didnt really bother me

 

Just confirmed my Rusty's order: HD steering upgrade which is a beefy adjuster sleeve from drag link to pitman arm tre...and a big fat beefy sleeve from drag link to left knuckle with new tre's (this goes great with the v8 zj drag link i bought and the new pitman arm tre) trac-bar drop bracket frame brace, a custom slim wrench they build that does the trac-bar jam nut and their control arm jam nuts (two sided wrench), and a hoodie...will be ordering more in the spring but wanted to keep the parts pile small for winter just get necessities done...

- install cowl snorkel
- install sliders
- sand down roof rust and primer/ paint
- install metal shield over filler neck tubes (have to modify it)
- get buddies steering box frame plate and install it

 

Bought another gift today $175 with installation help in the spring:

 

rusty's order came in yesterday everything is looking great...

 

Spectre Cowl Intake came in today and it's installed (got to remove throttle body spacer cause hood don't shut it only shuts for me cause i am missing a latch) so do not install with a throttle body spacer and where it mounts to cowl i advise using rtv cause it only uses three screws to mount and leaves gaps...but besides that it sounds so cool

 

Pic...i just dont like the breather house with the simulated braided steel am going to replace with a plain rubber one

 

how long did the install take bro? you rly have me wanting to order this now
