I've got a few parts waiting on me to install...
Olympus 50" HD dual row LED bar
OMC LED mount
Bosch upstream and downstream oxygen sensors
And a nice big pile of exhuast parts from Summit racing, including a Magnaflow high flow cat(#53006), Maganflow muffler(#10416), some 2.5'' piping, hangers, clamps, turndown, etc.
I've got some work to do...
oh, and a pair of HD Offroad Engineering shackle relocation brackets are in the mail

Got tired of my wipers smacking the trim so I replaces the linkage bushings. The easy way to remove them is tout a socket and smack the old one out the pop the new ones in with a socket on the other side and squeeze them in with channel locks.

stretching it out before the shacle relocators
not my best looking welds but they shall hold
the new shackle and shackle relocator going to build a brace for it when I time. had to buy longer shackles cause I was off in my design and my MJ shackle flated out when I used them.
stretching after the new stuff
so over all reaction jeep sits .5" higher than before, going over bumps is alot and I repeat alot smoother. she flexes better with little to no. issue. next is zj coils and 1500 ram front shocks. thanks Demonoid369 for helping out.

Got my fenders trimmed and the rear cut 'n' folded! Took a total of 5 hours....Well worth it though! Looks way better to me! Used a variety of tools; BFH, Dremel w/cut off wheels, grinder w/cut off disc, heat gun....Assorted sockets....
Eventually going to use the bedliner/undercoating from that upper body line down to the bottom, then on the roof after getting surface rust off. I think it'll look awesome!
Front done, starting on rear:
Both ends done:
Finish painted (for now....):

Another option is leaf spring sliders. I have these and I am very happy with them.

Started looking for a good accessible spot in the console for the VHF. I'm thinking either the way it is in the pics, adjusted a bit to suit, or else mounted to the lid with a system to prop it up when in use.
I don't use the console much anyways so trimming the 1/4" around the edges to give it the ability to go up and down with the lid isn't really a concern.
Oh yeah, and if it goes to the first option the plan is to drill a side hole on the passenger side of the console and have the mic feed out of that point.
