44 is in. Still need to hook up the locker and Adams driveshaft.
Fresh rotors and pads since I'm already there

Nothing fancy. Basically just factory replacements. I will probably end up swapping for VANCO/Black Magic parts eventually.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Hutchinson Rock Monster wheels, but if anyone has any leads on a set of AEV Pintlers please let know. I might be swayed.

Will do. Doubt I'll have any luck, but you never know. There was a set pintlers with some 37" MTRs on Jeep Forum, but I barely missed 'em

I was always under the impression that the bolt pattern on the Pintlers was different? I drool over those wheels every time I see them.

I do as well. There's 2 versions - JK and TJ. TJs have the same bolt pattern as the XJ.

The JCR Vanguard bumper has been my favorite bumper since I first laid eyes on it. I couldn't help myself, but to pick one up for this build. I plan on Monstalining this one as well as soon as a few more parts come in. The Victory 4x4 that was on it will most likely go on a dedicated crawler build in the future.

Not a ton to report. Added a set of JKS disconnects yesterday. Pretty much playing the waiting game for parts right now, but it should be like Christmas very soon.....
