Here is a quick pic of my jeep. It is nothing extravagant... yet, but building it as I go. If I was to start over, which I am thinking of doing, would have gone a little different route.

Not bad at all. Does it drive well with 4.88's and 33's and the 4 banger? Seems like it'd be geared plenty low to handle em.

The only place it lacks power is top end, highway speeds. Plenty of low end. Trail wise I feel I can go up on tire size still some. I know it won't handle what I want to do which is SOA and 40's which is why I am considering a 6cyl. So options are to go 35-37s with a front locker, or sell it and buy a TJ 6cyl.

Took off my track bars. Installed new rear bumper and tire carrier, hand throttle, winch and winch plate, door panels, CAI and replaced worn out fuel hoses. I still have to put on my riddler diff covers and family roll bar this weekend. I have someone to help me with the trans issue so will hopefully be up and going soon.

Damn! Go murse! Lol. Sounds like that rig is coming together well. I've got quite a few specialty tools if you ever need to borrow anything. I also have a welder since getting to my dad's has proved challenging. I think we could knock it out in my driveway

How's it drive without the front track bar? I may pull mine off since the relocating bracket is shot

Haha. Is it bad that my wife is nervous about going out in it since I have done most of the work myself? That would be great if we could get those tabs tacked on in ur driveway. just let me know when.
I really haven't noticed a difference without the track bars other than the ride feels little smoother.
