Not a full build thread, but just the latest upgrades. I have basically had the jeep down since mid January for the next round of upgrades. We bought it bone stock back in March 2011.

Now it is sitting with
-4.88 gears
-D30 ARB Air Locker
-D44 Rubicon Rear end with factory locker
-Savvy Aluminum Under Armor (raised the belly pan about 3" up, and protects all the way to the oil pan
-Savvy Aluminum Gas Tank Skid (gives about 1" clearance more with the gas tank)
-Savvy Adjustable Aluminum Control Arms
-Currie HD Steering
-Currie Anti-Rock sway bar
-Blue Torch Fab Rocker Guards (that I welded on some Poison Spyder side steps on)
-OME 2.5" Lift
-1" Body Lift
-JB Conversions Super Short SYE
-Olivers Double CV Driveshaft
-Bestop Supertop NX
-JKS Adjustable Track bars front and rear.
-32" BFG AT's


Heading up to Crozet, VA in 2 weekends to test it out, haven't wheeled it locked front and rear, only wheeled last year with a locked front. Hopefully no more mods for a while, I would love to put 35s on it, but right now keeping it with a pretty small lift and small tires where it will stay.

Only drove the damn thing 1300 miles last year. It become a trailer queen to the trails, 2004 jeep sitting with less than 75k miles on it still. Need to fix that this year. Really want to add some suspension seats to it.

Very clean and nice looking Jeep. :beer:

Suspension seats are well worth the money.
 
Are those rear fenders stockers that you trimmed?

Yep stock rear fenders that I cut with a jigsaw. Turned out pretty good. I built a piece of wood to hold the skill saw the same distance from the body of the jeep (for most of the cuts)

It looks good, I have been trying to figure out what to do with the rears on my TJ

Another question, have you figured out a good way to change the oil without having ti unbolt all of the savvy plates? Getting that little center plate on and off to reach the drain plug drives me nuts

Thank you for validating that I'm not the only one that removes my wiper arms for pictures. They're so long and black... I ain't gay like that.

Haha, that pic was actually right after I got it back from rockmafia for the cage. Had to take them off for him to do the cage and fold down the windshield.

It is really easy to do actually, I was worried about messing them up at first but they came out pretty good. Let me know if you want more pics of it.

Getting those little 13mm off in the middle of the surfboard sucks. It is a pain and there is no easy way to do it, however I only use 3 of the bolts since I can't get to one of them at all. Best thing is just drive the jeep less, then you don't have to worry about oil changes. Thats what I do!

I actually drove the thing to the grocery store today, only like the 3rd time it has been driven this year. All less than 15 mile trips.
