Thanks, yeah I'll be out there for the jamboree and most likely Memorial Day. Then just have to find some good weekends to make the drive for in the summer

So the wife and I have decided to do the rear fenders from paramount as well.

Those, the rockers, flush tail lights, and finishing the top are our next projects. We are currently up in Jersey on leave for a week though.

do you have a write up on the jk turn signals, or did you follow someone elses? I have collected some info on it, looking for confirmation of hole saw size.

 

[LifeProof]

I did have a write up but I cleaned up my thread and removed it. Here is the write up I followed, I'm 99% sure I used the same hole saw size as in that but I am away from home for a week and unable to confirm by looking at the saw physically. I saw some people using a size bigger but I figured I could do the smaller size and then just sand down the inside lip of the hole with a rotary grinder bit on a drill, which I had to end up doing. I got it nice and snug in there though which is what I wanted.

Thanks, I just added her on the title for valentines day. She was always complaining that technically it was only my jeep, now it's ours.

Got my front axle in.

If only i could decide on the suspension to run then i could get to work on the rear axle and be one more step closer to getting these bad boys under.

To do list:
Install rear fenders
Install rockers
Weld frame tie-in together
Install rear tie-in
Flush mount tailights

Got my rear bumper project under way.

What's left,
1. Weld around receiver on both sides of the bumper
2. Drill receiver pin holes in the cargo carrier tube and hitch tube.
3. Setup trailer wiring

 

[LifeProof]

So i got the bumper project all buttoned up and the rear fenders as well as the rockers came in. The morning of leaving for an Easter weekend at URE the wife and i finished up the rockers and pulled out of the driveway with the trailer behind us.
