Installed a new Jasper engine (with better cam) and supposedly better breathing intake manifold from a '00. Hopefully I can get another 165,000 miles out of it!

I bought my JKS ACOS, JKS bar pin eliminators, and RE shocks.
So now the list of parts i have waiting for me is:
Banks header
Dynomax Hi Flow Cat, and muffler + new pipe
JKS X-member with t-case gaurd
Currie H-D steering System
Rubicon Express 4.5" rear leafs
R E drop pitman arm
RunCool med. size hood vents
Bushwacker cut out style fender flares
I still have to get my SYE but that is going to have to wait untill i get home. I cant think of what else i may need to complete this 4.5 lift, I have a 3" under it now on 31's. The ACOS should take care of the front lift, and I am hoping that I will be able to run 33's under it with this combo. I am gonna have to deal with the crapy d35c and open diffs so i wont be able to wheel it to hard. I would like to get a CAD but I think that will have wait. Oh well I guess you cant have it all. That is pretty much all the coin I have to spend this year so any cheap suggestions are welcome.

new head liner, valve cover gasket, air filter, windsheild wipers, fan belts, oil cahnge. Engine pressure washed. Front breaks checked good. Broken windshield wiper cowling removed (washers rtv in place, looks good). Side rails & side bumpers painted black, big differance, looks great. Hood sanded, ready for paint. Waiting for some rain to minimize dust or pay extra $100 for paint booth. Pass side window motor being picked up today. Pass doesn't work at all. Drivers side works but clickes when closed (doesnt know when to stop possible bad end switch, well see).

The stuff I have acquired in the last two weeks.
Hood Vents, Steering Box Brace and a fuse box cover.
just mocked up:
I will hopefully be putting the vents in as well as the brace within two weeks. I just wont be able to go home this weekend to do it. The one picture shows how closely color matched the vents are. I believe they are out of a pontiac grand prix but im not 100%. They did also come with drain pans though. Also, the fuse box cover didnt work. Must be a different model. The one I have in now has a huge burn whole in it from previous owner.
