Im screwed..... :D

rebuild tcase
install and wire OBA and CB

build tire carrier in cargo area (may just keep it on rear bumper for now....)
 
Installed new leaf mounts to eliminate shims and moved shock mounts.
Installed new TNT trackbar.
Front E-locker installed, need to finish connection.
Gave the beast fresh plugs, rotor and cap. It likes it.
Fluids are all good.
Installed back-up camera and monitor.
Added a catch can for the blow by.

Still to do:
Fix rear locker.
Mount front license plate.

Finally got the front end put back together yesterday and the Jeep is standing tall on all four tires. Still no front brakeline, hoping to take care of that this week and bleed it.

In reality this won't happen until Friday which gives me a whole day to shake it down and see if anythings clunking/leaking/coming apart, pack for this trip AND my wedding which I am driving directly to afterwards. Can't freakin wait.
 
This was my jeep 3 months ago...
