They are dropping the engine in and finishing the interior! I'm guessing I get it within two weeks...

Heres my deep cherry red with 35s and 3.5" lift. No regrets.

Nice rig! I'm only planning a 2.5" lift so I don't have to mess with drive shafts and stuff. It should be plenty for around here. I might go higher if I move back out west.

My JK just shipped! Will post pics when I pick her up.

Wow it's been to long but I finally got some time to do some mods. Just put on a locking fuel door and taillight guards. This weekend I'm going to chop my stock front bumper. I will post before and after pictures.

Did the bumper chop today. Only took about 20min to complete. Very happy with the results. Will be adding winch plate and hoop soon as well as fog light guards. The total front bumper build will end up costing only about $200.

Got the windows tinted today! Very happy with the result. Next step is tires and wheels.
