Well it seemed the weather got bad soo as I started ordering parts. I didnt get anything done on the jeep but I have parts stacking up. I have a 3in lift ready to go on, the snorkel kit the on board air, and I cant do anything.

My net did come back so at least I can hit the sites and see what others are getting done .

I did get 4x4 playground up and running so if you want to check it out feel free. http://www.4x4playground.com

Soon as the weather breaks Im going to have a BBQ at my house for members .. I figure some steaks on the grill and cold beer and dew should kick it off right. Im also working on finding someone to make stickers for us.

More updates on the build when the weather breaks.

Well it hit 70 today so I worked on my messed up rear fenders some more. It looks like its going to come out ok. I also got the air tanks painted with some rustoleum specialty fluorescent green.

I also ordered about $500 in new parts. Photos when they come in.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like them in person but now that I have them I really do.

There is a tire changer at the local walmart with the light bar on his Cherokee. I stopped in there one day and checked it out. It was solid and looked good. I am going to paint the jeep before I put it on so it will be a few more weeks But I was really impressed with it on his.

Jeephut has a sale on the can and mount so I ordered it. But I honestly ain't sure how I'm going to mount it yet. hopefully it will be here Monday.
