The vultures are already parting out your TJ. :mrgreen:

I was going to get the MOABS from my brother's but he decided to ditch the cragars (15's) and he got rear ended, so I couldn't take the rear bumper which is the one I want

I know, right?!

Steve, you'll have the longest wait. The front is being replaced before the rear (again, if I replace the rear?) Oh and I decided against the baja style tire carrier.

In two weeks, I have scheduled the weekend Saturday night and all day Sunday with a friend who owns a auto shop to begin the mods. I'm thinkin' spring!

Not yet. I've recently test driven a Grand Cherokee Laredo and a Ford Edge. I really liked them both. I'm probably going to lease whatever I decide on.

I've been on vacation this week and doing some stuff here and there.

KC 6" Slimlites - Long Range.

Spare Oil & Filter Stash Can:

This weekend I have plans to install a JKS 1.25" Body Lift and a JKS 1" Motor Mount Lift. Also I bought a Hidden Hitch (round tube) rear receiver.

Next up is replacing all the OEM skids underneath (engine/trans/transfer case - aka;"shovel"/ gas tank. I am replacing all with aluminum. My gas tank skid is from Savvy. Then I am buying Engine, Trans, & Tummy Tuck Transfer Case (aluminum) skids from Undercover Fab Works.

Plus - I'm lifting the Rubi 2.5". I've recently learned the "hot setup" now is stuffing the biggest tires you can with the least amount of lift, so I am thinking I will add Gen-Right front Flat Fenders (3 1/2" wide) along with their 3 1/2" rear flares. I am being told I can run 35" M/T's this way. Of course I will need to re-gear both D44 diff's too if I decide to go this route.

More to come....

Looking good oddball :SOMBRERO:

Thanks. It's taking a little longer than I thought it would to get it the way I want it. For the most part I think I know what I want and someone informs me of something else to check out. I've been getting some good advice and discovering new things on a couple of Jeep sites. Anyway I should be mod ready by summer. Functional or the really important stuff anyway.

I think you should buy it. Sell the KJ. And fix whatever needs fixing on the Rubi. :2cents:

Just a couple poser shots I took today.

It is a money pit tho, the KJ is perfect so far...the Rubicon is a manual and I hate manual on TJ's and the clutch is terrible

any updates Jerry?

Well the 1.25" Body Lift along with the 1" motor mount lift was suppose to happen this Sunday but a friend and I screwed up thinking Easter was the following Sunday. So the weekend after Easter, it will finally get everything done.

Also, I'm waiting on word from a guy who is making some sic tube doors. Soon as I get final details, I'm ordering a set.

Meanwhile, I'm shopping around for the best price on Xenon flat flares (instead of going with real flat fenders).
