My bumpstops came in today, I'll trim some more fender and install them this weekend. I'm also gonna try to make it to the mountain to get some more pics, my house just isn the right back drop and my iPhone isn't the right camera.

Here are my plans for early next year/ these last few weeks of 2012

L&l winch bumper with custom hoops going to look something like the dirt bound extreme hoop kit.
Sye and xj front drive shaft
One more inch of lift in the front
Relocation brackets or different shackles
long arms or all new adj. shot arms and cad brackets
Better shocks, probably 5100s
Finish cutting up my fenders
Work out some bump stops
Have my new fender and header pannel painted and installed
Install my RE trackbar and rampage headlights

The coil is unseated, with about an inch of tracks left. I think it pretty good for short arms with rubber bushings. I definantly need longer arms though. The axle is pulled back too far.

I finished trimming the fenders in the rain, I made my self a little tarp shelter so I wouldn't get too wet, I still have to put some paint on the edges and glue on some edge trim.

I figured I'd find you here, the rust sucks. It's not bad on the body, just a few very!!! Thin spots on the rockers that I could probably poke my fingers through. It's mostly just on the fasteners and stuff that matters.

Advance auto parts, it was like twelve dollars. And it's still sitting in the passengers seat instead of on the fenders.
