Wish I knew, I called him laughing because they're not even close. Somebody grabbed the wrong powder I guess. I kept those anyway and sent him two more to do in the right color. How much snow did you get down there?

Picked up an Iron Rock HD tie rod from a buddy that's scapping his ZJ. I'll order the double shear track bar this week and get the whole front end done in one shot, I hope.

Definitely an upgrade from stock. Trying to get as much of the little stuff done before I dive into axles. Those are going to hurt the wallet for sure.

Got my bumper light today. I wanted square lights to match the headlights but there was so much wasted space between the lights so I went with a 13.5" light bar. Made a mounting bracket from some aluminum that I "found" at work. Hopefully I get it wired up by tomorrow night.

Well, we're approaching cut time. It's time to start looking at flare options. Bushwackers, jeep tubes, Notch Customs, no flares at all? This is gonna be a tough call.

Thanks. I would consider this stage 1. Stage 2 is starting to get scary, I have big plans and its getting expensive fast...

Lol, I'm still undecided. Teaching myself to weld would certainly make stage 2 much easier. That might have to be my next step...
