I think you're a little off. The shell on a turtle is thicker by a factor of 1.6783 while compared to the speed of a Puma, when chasing a rabbit. Therefore, if you hit a nail with a 4 lb. hammer, the thickness of the wood needs to be 4, and your grip should be on your lower regions.

Your last build was an inspiration. Glad you're starting another one. What are you planning on doing?

This one is being built to see Colorado and without the use of a trailer. I am going to build it to be comfortable on longer highway drives but still very capable once we leave the pavement. L-TJ was very capable off-road but on road was lacking.
So the build plan is pretty basic. It revolves around the use of 32-33" tires which makes things easy, even more so starting with a Rubicon.
I have already removed the BB and the BL & MML are coming out next. Suspension will be 0-1" lift in the rear and 2-3" in the front. Nothing fancy, just dialed in to work well on both highway and off-road.
Fuel tank skid, AEV/Nth transfer case - trans and oil pan skids, HD steering and diff covers.
Basic stuff, I cant wait to get it started though.
Oh yeah, and of course BOATSIDES!

hmmm....33s, basic, low lift, highway/off-road mix, sounds familiar  Can't wait to see what you get worked up!
I notice you went with a 6-speed this time Let me know if you need help wrenching. Would be good to chat again. 
We definitely need to hit the trails this year....should be an early season with how little snow is up there.

Got a step closer to being completely stock today, removed the BL & MML. Just a few more little things then I can focus on some build items.
Tomorrow, all the fluids get changed, plugs, filters blah blah blah.
