Also I need to put the 35's back on before hitting any trails.. the 33's tread wrights are awesome on the icy/snowy roads but I miss the ground clearance/ think it looks dumb with a 6.5" and 33's lol

(not sure why it looks pink in this one lol)

Currently I have some frame stiffeners and a putco wiring harness I need to throw in... I just replaced the ball joints and am lacking motivation for now haha. I cant decide if I want to cut the stiffeners for the rock sliders and the IRO subframe and weld them to it or put it on and then atttach them to it.
Looking good!

Nothing immediate other than replacing my thermostat and broken wheel stud.

I need to get my 8.8 finished up, but I'm broke as hell atm after dropping a grand on my MTRs and paying what I "owed" in taxes.

Before summer really kicks off I want my 8.8 finished/front regeared along with going up an inch on my lift. I'm also chopping/caging the rear with an MJ tailgate and doing some fairly serious cutting to my rear quarters. I have flat/tube fenders I'm working on, but I don't want to finish the rear and weld them on til I've got the rear quarters cut. I need to get the interior bedlined at least here soon since it's warm out again. Need to finish swapping my ZJ seats in too.

Full width axles and 37s are long term, but it'll likely be years before I can do it.

I was wanting to run tons on 37-40" tires in the 5-6" lift range bit I will settle for 35's on my 3.5" after I longarm the jeep and build/truss/sleeve the Factory axles. And cage the interior it'll be my family wheeling rig. Then I will start on a single or dual seat buggy to be my fun toy

You're just getting broke in. I spent my last winter in MO in 4hi for almost a month with 340ish on the clock had to beat the linkage to get back into 2wheel.
