Okay.

I have purposely avoided this thread for a while.

Because every time I see the new pics, I lose my **** over how freaking gorgeous that undercarriage is, and it makes me feel like less of a man, haha

Sir, this is truly one of the best builds ever on this site. The attention to detail is sickening. A true beast, yet refined at the same time.

I know it can't last forever...so you need to finish this build ASAP, and go get it DIRTY, so I can finally have some peace of mind, haha

Cannot wait to see this thing finished.

Between the CavFab Alpha 3 link and Steering I'm not sure I can hold back my excitement

Haha thanks for all the kind words guys. Having my build even mentioned in the same sentence as the Ferrar Jeep is of the highest of compliments as it has always been a favorite of mine. I think I even mentioned it in the very first post of this thread. I just returned from my honeymoon so now that the craziness of the wedding and all the planning is over I'll see about making roninofako's statement come true

Do you have any details on the Roc Trac 241 install? Maybe I missed them but was wondering if you had any clearance issues. I just put one in my YJ and it was a tight fit, was considering it for a XJ I'm gonna stat building.

Zero clearance issues whatsoever. It's a tighter squeeze for sure, but not had at all. And there's no way to really clock it to sit flatter, but it's still higher clearance than a 242 and just a tad lower than a 231.

That is sweet!
Is it safe to say I have mine coming in next week? Lol

Question- where did you mount the solenoid box?

I hope you post videos of this thing in action when you take it out. It would be great to see how stable the sway bar keeps your ride.

You get one of the first orders in for one? You're gonna love it.

I have the bracket that BW sells to mount it, but I'm undecided if that's where I'm going to leave it. Since I'm installing the THOR intake I may put it in that area instead.

100% will do. Actually planning on doing a lot of video stuff when it's done.
