Finally started my own complete YJ build!!..

HI, new to the site...figured I'd share my project and I'm sure I'll be needing some advice
Some background: I purchased my yj on Jan. 30. 2009. THe jeep sat most of Feburary and at the beginning of March it all began. It started out as only simple repairs and upgrades to complete my soa conversion to a complete tear down. These are some pics of the last few weeks of work on it.
