Awesome dude. When's the swap?
It's gonna be more involved due to the swap from SUA to SOA, so I'm gonna be honest. It's gonna take a while.

First step is to order a set of RE1444 springs. They're designed for SOA on a YJ, with reverse mil wrap. Once those are in, I can mount the axles and start checking angles. I also have a plan for long travel shock mounts. So this swap will be fairly involved

Installed my new head unit today, a Kenwood KMR-D562BT marine radio. It looks better, the sound is cleaner, and I don't have to worry about rain. I don't like the interface quite as much, but I'll get used to it. Overall, I'm happy with it, and the variable color display is helpful for dealing with sunlight. The best part is the old Kenwood used the same harness, so I didn't even have to splice anything
