Bought a Ballistic Fab diff cover during a labor sale. It finally showed a week or so ago. Got it painted. Probably going to wait to install it until I take my Jeep in to do gears. Should have ordered for front and back then. Hopefully the 2nd one doesn’t take as long.

I like that you’re still rocking the factory fenders, you plan on keeping them or upgrading?

They’ve gone bye bye. Have MCEs now. I liked the look of factory honestly but I was stuffing my tire into them easily.

The Jeep is finally alive again. I had the Evo pro series carrier delivered yesterday afternoon. That was the fastest install of anthing I’ve done. I do have to adjust is just slighting. It’s looking good. Going to pull the corners off and take them to get powdercoated.
Got the Maximma lights installed as well. I used the poison spyder connections, so I can take remove them easily. Only problem is the reverse lights aren’t coming on. I’m not much of an electrician.
Here’s probably the most controversial. But, a friend of mine got rid of his Jeep and was parting it out. He basically gave me his Spod. Grab a Metalcloak spod vacuum relocation bracket because I had already relocated my vacuum pump where the spod is supposed to go. Haven’t had a chance to run the wiring.
I am just super happy to be rolling again.

Coming to a stop for now
Finally gotten nearly everything done on the Jeep that I want for now. Had to hurry up and finish before the baby comes.
Got the Evo corners powder coated thanks to a poster for mentioning the color Red Wheel from prismatic because it is a dang good match.
Also got my sliders burned on.

Also took off the spare and tightened the carrier bolts eliminating a rattle I had. Replaced the the nuts on the license plate and plate holder with wing nuts so I don’t need tools just to get the license plate off if I have a flat somewhere.

I love the color matched corners. Looks way better than black, in my opinion.
Looks good

Great job on the build so far. Good score on the slabs and the corners came out awesome! I hope everything goes smoothly with the big arrival in five weeks. No better feeling than the first time you get to hold him/her and really soak it all in. So glad I stumbled on this thread.
