Thanks for the kind words!
JCR's one ton steering kit arrived today. It looks super beefy compared to the stock setup! I'm hoping to get it installed soon, just waiting on a reamer for the knuckles.

I got my one ton steering kit installed last weekend. The hardest part was reaming the knuckles out for the tie rod ends. I made sure to measure the toe before tearing the stock steering out so that I could set the toe back after I finished the install. The JCR kit is super beefy and I'm really happy with the finished product. I'm not running a steering stabilizer now because it is not necessary, but I might reinstall one in the future. Here's some photos from the install.

I've made a few new changes to the Jeep since I last updated the build. I added Rough Country pods to the a pillars using the generic 90 degree mounts for a light bar.
Later on I installed Savvy's transfer case cable shifter, which is a huge upgrade from the stock linkage.
Testing the new shifter out.
I wanted to buy a 1" body lift so that I could raise my gas tank skid for maximum ground clearance. I cheaped out and bought a 12 pack of hockey pucks, drilled holes in the center of each, and used them as spacers for my home brew body lift. I also bought longer grade 8 bolts to compete the project.
At the back with the body lift but before the gas tank lift
After gas tank lift
Booty shot with the flares off
Some poser shots after the body and gas tank skid lift
That's all for now! Loving the warm weather for riding doorless!

Finally patched the middle tub body mounts. Came out really good, I'm trying to get rid of as much rust as I can before it gets any worse. I wish I had before shots, but the original mounts were completely gone.
Also upgraded my stock speakers to some Kicker speakers. Sounds much better than before and looks too nice to be in the Jeep!

Took the Jeep off-road for the Fourth and finally installed a winch. I went with a Warn VR8 because of the affordability and the name. I also installed some 1.25" spidertrax spacers.

For the money, that's a great winch. Looks good too!
