New to the site
I'm new to the site but not new to Jeeps or wheeling. I am currently accumulating parts for my next build but still haven't found the right rig yet. Looking forward to reading a bunch and hopefully get some good ideas along the way.

Well, I finally found one....
I'll be starting with your typical 98 with a cheap 3" lift, ugly wheels and a nasty 3" nerf bars which are all coming off. Will be getting the full treatment over the next couple of weeks.
These are the parts gathered so far.
Front - HP30, ARB locker, 4.88 gears, WJ knuckles and brakes, trussed, skid protection on lower control arm brackets.
Rear - Chrysler 8.25, ARB locker, 4.88 gears, Chromoly axles, ZJ disc brakes.
Lift - Currie Johnny Joint 4.5" lift - full kit
Custom parts to be made.
Front winch bumper with stinger
Rear tube bumper
Custom rockers/sliders
I haven't decided on which shocks to run (leaning towards Bilstein 5160's) or what wheels and tires to get (15x8 with 33's) but I have some time.
Here's a couple pics as it sits right now.

Thanks for the warm welcomes....
If the weather cooperates, the plan is to tear the axles and suspension out and start installing the new stuff this weekend. I might start a build thread with pictures.
