Day 2.
Few problems to contend with. Front end links too short. Overnighting a couple JKS adjustables. Bolts for bumpstops from AEV were for drilling out a corresponding hole in that bracket, and mounting it...but the ProRocks changed that up with a wider hole of their own already drilled. Easy fix, but for tomorrow....few other issues...more tomorrow.
Finished the rear, though. Now I have a pallet of parts to get rid of...

Awesome!

What an awesome milestone in your build! :wings:

Congrats on a smoking nice Rubicon. :beer:
Any weekend trips planned? Or just going to continue the build through the winter in preparation for spring?

Your picture would make an excellent desktop shot.

Thanks Scott. I just took that with a cellphone....Just got it home late last night. Right now, Im running in front wheel drive only...it drives real funky. Wont be taking it off road until the long arms get here sometime next week and we have a chance to push the axles out to install the rear driveshaft. Here's the issue, due to the stock arms and a 4.5" lift with the aftermarket axle:

But no...Theres not a prayer in hell Im waiting for the spring. The minute that Im sure its all good suspension wise, aligned and have my lockers running and full 4wd, Im wheeling it somewhere! ;)
