Trying to be patient. I'd have this thing done right now if I could. Just been waiting on a couple pieces of the puzzle to show up that have to be installed before other pieces can be. I find myself walking in the garage several times a day trying to find something I can work on only to leave disappointed. Currently waiting on 3 major shipments so it can be on it's own weight. Been a long time coming, but should be worth the wait.
In the mean time here's a pic. Rocktrac has been installed, added chassis saver to the rear as you can see here, LED tails have been beautifully soldered and installed thanks to Jordan6505 (go give him COTM vote this month), center stiffeners are installed as well (not sure if I mentioned that before), and I'm sure a lot of other small details, but I'll upload all my photos when the parts get here.

Cavfab Alpha crossmember arrived. Thing is a beast. Exceptional craftsmanship as expected. Favorite thing about it is how much higher the control arm mounts are tucked up compared to the OG 3 link

Went ahead and added the TNT U-bolt eliminators
Also mounted the Rockkrawlers
Boostwerks shackles in. Final shackle angle will get dialed in more when the entire vehicle is on its own weight.

Went ahead and picked up the JCR gas tank skid
JCR Vanguard bumper isn't even tightened down in it's final location yet and it already fits much better. Also have armor that will tie the bumper into the body

You'll have to let us know how you like those BW shackles. Those and the hd no lift relocators that you're running are on my list. I've hear nothing but great things about them but haven't seen any comparisons to say RE boomerang shackles.
