Looking stellar. Somehow I doubt you'll be sticking with the 32's  .

I got some much needed Jeep therapy tonight. I was having withdrawls from my grinder and welder. I started out the night by cleaning off the body mounts on the driverside. I cannot express how much I like these body lift mounts. Such a simple install. Simly flap the top of the frame and cut off the old factory mounts then tack the Genright mounts. Sit the body back down on the body mounts, check to make sure the bolts line up like they should. Then remove the bolts and jack the body up and burn in the mounts. Paint and reinstall. Then move on to the passengerside. Of course on a full body TJ you will need to loosen the back tub mounts to lift the tub high enough.
Clean shiny frame.
2 body mounts down 4 to go.
I will finish the others tomorrow night. And clean off the lower control arm mounts. Then she will be ready for the new axles and some frame work. I am going to remove the body to finish it and the frame. While the body is at work I plan on building the rear frame and the suspension.
stay tuned she should be rolling before you know it.

Can't wait to see her moving on her own and all at once instead of in pieces on a trailer. Keep up the work. She will be like a new born baby when she's all done.

Sorry, I almost pulled the plug on flop today to finish the build. But, I may have a change of heart.

I bet you couldn't even type that with a straight face. 
BTW, I think you should run those Moabs with 35s. It'll look Damn sexy plus you won't have to drop coin on more wheels. If you don't like em, you can swap em out later. But we all know that once you make up your mind, its set in stone and never changes. You're a ****ing oak.

Next thing up... I am looking for a AEV brute top. I know someone out there has one, or knows someone that wants to sell one. I really to not want to buy a new one. But, I will if I have to. This is one of those things on the Bling-bling list. I am pretty set on the AEV top.

The AEV top gives the Jeep that classic pickup top. I love it as well.
