Finally decided on my plans for the jeep... I want to it look exactly like this
found here
He has the parabolic springs I am interested in, I wish there was a way of contacting him..
So far, all I have to to make it look like that is the winch and the full doors, looks like I better get busy.

You are right. That is a very good looking jeep, but I cringe (and my wallet) when I see how much money was spent!

No Doubt, maybe even more than $3,500.00 if you add a nice bumber to protect the winch...

Right, I'm not going the warn route like he did, I will get the smittybuilt bumpers that have the D-ring mounts on them, that will save a good chunk of change, however it looks like he got the cheap flares, where I will be getting the bushwackers, I have the rims already, but now I have 31's on them, so onces I decide on a lift, it will go up to 33's. The main difference is that I will run a hard-top year-round, and im not so sure about the snorkel, im not into water...

So basicly your going for a 4" lift and 33's with some added stuff. Don't even think about your wallet when going through a build, i think that with 3500 bucks you could be underestimating a little. Looks like the end product will be nice.

Yea... if you're building a jeep, you shouldn't really be concerned about the wallet.
Actually... do count up the costs and let us know how close you are to being done when you've spend that $3500
Good luck. Just try NOT to keep it as clean as the picture ya got there
