Nothing too new, I did tighten up my e-brake . Thing locks right up now!
But also my warm medium duty kit came in today. I wanted a good recovery kit before heading out to rousche again.
Hopefully it will last me :)

Awesome looking rig and great job making it your own. It will be even better with the 37s! The bronze wheels kinda remind me of the Golden Eagle! :thumb:

Actually, it was kinda going to be a surprise. When I get my evo armor an tire carrier at some point, im probably going to powder coat it all bronze. Think it will look great, plus stand out from the crowd. Only down side to that is when im scraping it up on the trails, I would need to find some similar bronze touch up paint lol.

Just checking in, has been awhile on this build thread for me.

Sliced a tire on some sharp rocks an it was 15 degrees that night, fun

Not to long after snapped my shaft on my pulley for my power steering.

Sweet pics! Can't wait to see the 37s, they will look awesome brotha!

yeah im hoping to get a couple more mods done like gears an axel shafts before I bump up to 37s. The big expense will be PSC hydro assist:banghead:

You don't need hydro for the 37s....but it will sure help. If you get rear shafts don't get Yukon, I made that mistake. My stock ones actually help up better than those did, I bent one first time out with them which sucked.

Yeah , I guess reason why I want a hydro assist is cause my steering box is leaking an having all kinds of issues.
I'm going to replace the box, an see if I can get the sector shaft a bit tighter so it's not so sloppy.
Also I'm back to wanting 37s now because of the new jkx part 4 lol.
As far as axels goes,was thinking of going with ten factory with the full circle clips.

So to save some money until I get a evo carrier I decided to use a rear rockhard harness bar with poison spyder tire strap for my spare tire.


Yep looks good! Also you guessed it, I powder coated it a brushed bronze.
This is what my bumpers an atx slabs will look like. It's a deeper bronze then cheap paint on my current wheels.

Okay here's when I cut the front fenders.
This took me all day! I wanted to get them perfect, even though it was a pain , patience is key to clean lines.




Door trim as final touch


Oh an I cut down the bracket but still retained it, also I cut down the liner an still use that as well :thumb:
