i think some bigger headlights and round turn signals on the front of the fenders would offset the look a bit. might try that when i get time. thanks for the input guys!
i am just using stock wagoneer front leaf springs with a 2" yj lift shackle
Ok, Been following this for a ------------LONG-------- while. And my LCA mounts took a crap again and instead of bandaiding it yet again, I'm gonna "toss" leaves under the front of the Jeep. What leaves exactly did you use?I've read over your build again and again and can't find it

It's not the prettiest work you have ever done, but I am sure it will serve it's purpose well. I would suggest filling the gap between the fender and hood. For me that is what stands out the most. Even with different lights I think that gap will still look off.

Much better! I know u not going for cosmetics but filling in around the headlights would help finish it off. I can say that cuz it's your dollar and not mine! Lol!

ok got her out again last weekend. finally had time to post pics. didnt get a lot but got a few. worked flawlessly! drove it the whole 15 miles to the trailhead, hit about 60mph on the highway and only had minor vibes.
letting my dad (yellow cj5) take the lead to push snow since my tranny was getting a little warm after pushing snow for the past 2 miles
the group. 2 land cruisers, my dads cj5, maxwells cherokee, and my cherocon
headin up the trail
where we ended up stopping. too much snow
i put in some rear coil isolater pads so that stopped some of the noises. i still have a few little noises i need to fix and my front drivers side tire was wobbling pretty good on the drive home. other than that jeep is running awesome!

That all just adds to the adventure. I feel pretty accomplished when I drive my rig all the way to the trail, beat the **** out of it, and then am still able to get it back home. All the while running the risk of getting pulled over because my rig is not technically street legal (althought it looks a lot more street legal than yours). I get the rush of avoiding cops, navigating gnarly trails, and driving a vehicle that might be ready to fall apart all in one day!
