holy list! that is going to be one heck of a build! Congrats on the buy.

that red though....awesome. How do you like that Alpine unit?

And considering you are going with the prorock 44, how much would the front dana 44 cost? with the front AND rear 4.10 gears? NOTE: I live in Houston so shipping is in question...I am more just asking the price for general knowledge, but if the price is right you never know.

Nice build plan. Looking forward to seeing it.
Are you planning on wheeling anywhere local? I am just down 275 in Monroe. Also we have a great local jeep club. South East Michigan chapter of Wicked Jeeps. There is meet and greet this Saturday at Bdubs in Ypsi at 2:00.
