OK, so change of plans.

Here's how my Jeep currently sits:


IMG_9869.jpg


Upgrading rear axle from the built 8.8 to a HP RockJock Dana 60 with 5.13's, ARB, 35spline alloy shafts, cutting brakes, etc. I'll be done in plenty of time, though. Housing will be done this week, get gears and locker setup by the end of the weekend, and be bolting it in beginning of next week. Also ditching the rear TJ Coils and FOA shocks for Radflo 2.5" Airshocks.

Well if I sell my bike by then...

D30 E-locked with 4.88 (sitting in garage prepped for paint)
8.8 LSD with 4.88 and disc brakes (sitting in garage prepped for paint)
Winch (not for awhile)
Tophat roof rack (maybe for my birthday this month)
A little more lift and 32's (RE 4.5 kit on, 32's mounted and balanced waiting for axles)
