Jeep is looking good man! Can't wait for wheeling Bundy with ya next month.

My seals leaked real bad too. Nothing like rebuilding axles after you get them under your rig lol.

Good choice pin the front bumper! I have the same one and love it! I called to ask if they are planning to make a matching rear, and I ended up getting the prototype they came up with lol you should call and ask about it.

BTW... we might be copying each other XJs. We both have JCR quarter guards, and TnT bumpers. And you might have stole some of my ideas I have, but haven't been able to accomplish yet lol

I'm not exactly sure. I'm kind of afraid to add it up lol. Just putting the tons under it I have around 7k I believe. Lockers gears tires rims drive shafts etc.. pretty expensive. It can probably be done a lot cheaper but Im trying to do everything right the first time

I can't get any pics to post but if you want to see what the TnT rear looks like, just check out my build thread in my signature

And I really want to see what your buddy's XJ w/ 4'' lift, 37s looks like. I want a 4''-5.5'' longarm with 37s

Yeah I read through it all the other day. Kind of depressing lol.. Miss that beast. I'll build another one here one of these days.. 2 kids are a handful! Won't be as bad when one starts school.
