WHOOPS! I guess that 20% chance they spoke of this morning on the news shoulda been a little higher . I had the back windows out, but the top up. So, with the duster on, no real water issues. But I feel for ya!

Time to pull out the carpet and drain plugs, if you haven't already!

I'm starting phase 1 of my buildup next month... already started ordering parts. Gonna have gussets and sleeves, alloy axles front and rear, gearing, and air lockers front and rear installed probably by Rocket City Offroad. I'm gonna do the ever-popular Trailmaster lift at home after that's all done. I can't wait.

You're going to drop over 2K on gussets, sleeves, axles...not to mention your JK will be out of commission for awhile. They're really not needed unless you're going to be wheeling like RECON and running 37s.
But...it's your money...spend it in the order you want to..........and feel free to buy me some parts too.
I figured since I was already doing the gearing and the air lockers that it made sense to upgrade the axles and beef up the housing so I can feel safe about the 37s option. Plus they sell those great kits that have the lockers and axles in a package with a really good discount... man those Quadratec catalogues will be the end of me

Are you doing the work yourself or paying someone to do it?
Edit: Disregard, went back a page to see youre looking at Rocket City Offraod. Be curious to hear what the quote you for labor.

No carpet here and shifts just fine, but mine is an X.
