Ok well for the last month I have been spending all my time busting my rump getting this thing finished and all has went smooth except for the engine rebuild. Finally took it to a shop to do the head work that I needed because I've done enough on my own and want to make sure its right (and i have went through three sets of head gaskets and three sets of head bolts taking it apart over and over). It will be done next wednesday and I will update this post with more detailed pics with a better explanation of what i've done. but for now I put a frankenlift w/ boilers front strut shims, 265-75-16 wrangler Duratracs, extra upper isolators in the rear, cut front bumper, beat pinch weld, cragar soft 8's, customized the grill, and put a lightbar, etc etc.. I absolutely love the way it looks and I couldn't have done it without this forum. Ive been on this forum researching everything to do to this thing since february so thanks to everyone on here. this is my first jeep and I am very happy with it.

Thanks guys for the compliments. I will definitely be tearing it up off-road but the engine is pretty much brand new so I am going to get miles on it first. What I did with the grill is cut the bars out of the holes and put a piece of separated aluminum painted black across the back but I think it looks really smooth. Will post a close-up when I get it back from the next week.

Thanks for the compliments, Cv's angles look ok, lift has only been on for a few days so not sure how much it will settle. I bought Boilers 1/4" inch shims. Also had some conduit nuts for a small clevis lift but didnt use I dont want to push it any further right now.
