Well this thread is way behind. I'll try and update it with what all I've done to my Jeep.

I installed the rear bumper that I built and had powder coated. I wanted one low profile so I cut this one from 1/4" plate. Then I found a Curt receiver hitch on Amazon for cheap.

Somewhere after I installed my rear bumper I added some new aluminum corner armor.

I designed and installed a drop down tailgate and CB antenna mount. Very similar to the JCR / Poison Spyder / CrawlTek ones available

In preparation for a Tummy tuck I installed a Advance Adapters cable shifter. Around this time I also installed a Trans temp gauge.

Next I made some new Control arms since I was still riding around on the stock ones with 120,000 miles on them. They were in dire need of replacing. I cut these nifty Jam nut wrenches for the Johnny Joints.

Next I finished my rear storage compartment. I think it came out nice. Just have to work on some mounting options along the top.

On one of my last wheeling trips I bent the stock skid beyond repair so It was time to install the Tummy Tuck.

That meant I would need to install a SYE on my T-case

And here it is all installed with a whole new exhaust ran and new rear Driveshaft. I ended up having to install a 1" BL to give everything enough clearance. I couldn't massage the firewall enough with the transmission installed and wasn't willing to pull it out just yet.

This brings us to its current state. I was needing some new tires so I went ahead and got some new wheels also. These should last me until I talk the plunge and go 8 Lug.

Last weekend I was able to hit some FS roads with my boy. I'm still getting used to the drawer setup and trying to determine how I want to pack it. Ideally I'd like it to be packed all the time no matter if were Rock Crawling somewhere or cruising around on some FS roads.

This setup SUCKED! The Stanley adventure cook set just barely sits on the single burner Coleman stove. (As you can tell by the water on the stove.) I need one with a little larger base if anyone has any sugestions.
