So after I had that taken care of I decided it was time to tackle suspension set up.... Again on a budget. So I started doing what everyone does ignore the stickies and start aggravating the crap out of a forum member. My unfortunate victim was JK505. I asked him every question imaginable to do with setting this thing up where it would be half ass capable. In the end we prolly built a friendship that's way better than the suspension my wallet limited us to, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

So here's what we decided upon... 3" synergy coils to replace the procomps, rock krawler adjustable lowers control arms, jks quicker discos, and a terraflex cam bolt eliminator kit.

So I started pricing around and the absolute vest price I found on these were from none other than our forum sponsor overland off-road! He gave me the hook up and was super helpful and patient doing it!! So the parts are on order!

uh.....wow! That's dedication. Looks phenomenal but no way I could do it.

Thanks man I just have soooooo much money (relative to how much I gave to spend) invested in it, so I like to keep it looking as nice as I can for as long as I can

Sub'd as well even though you swooped those seats out before I could get to them -_- Jeep looks awesome though, bud!

You really keep that jeep clean! Best I do is get a weekly drive through wash followed by a coin-operated wash. I'll be skipping this week's wash today because its freaking 5degrees here in Chicagoland!

Super excited today!! I took my jeep to a local company called RZR Sharp Customs, if you're int the side by side scene I'm sure you've heard of him, if not you need to! Justin builds bad ass custom cages, suspension, and even full tube chassis for side by sides! Check him out on fb! http://Facebook.com/razrsharpcustoms So what's my JKU doing there? He's building me a custom tramp stamp, and an inside the cab custom tubular spare tire carrier for my trunk! Getting that heavy 35 off my door is gonna be sweet!!! Pics coming soon!!!

Great build so far. What did you pay for the lights mounts and switches. I too would love to buy american, however like you I too am on a very strict budget.
