I got my Simply Offroad 1/4 and rocker guards on yesterday. They fit great and cover up some existing body damage ;) My AA sye and Tom Wood's driveshaft is sitting and waiting for me to find time to install it this week. I also got some YJ brake lines front and rear this week. So far she's turning out good. Got it looking clean again after 9 months of abuse. I think a cage, some drop brackets, and some alloy shafts front & rear and it'll be a dedicated trail rig.

I agree but I just couldn't foot the loot for 35" BFG's yet. I've been happy with the Mud Kings thus far. Traction and wear has been good so far but the initioal tread depth wasn't as deep as the BFG's. But for $108 a tire I couldn't complain...

looks good and good to see yours is moving forward unlike mine :D, mine has kinda gone 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, put in my disk braked xj 44 after building up the brake system i have to tear it all apart again because the axle seals in the 44 are floating out of the tube and seating in the brake bracket causing a nice (read: 4 inch wide pool of 90w) leak, i need to build spacer plates for the inner side of the bracket that will retain the seal in the tube and keep it from floating out, o yeah and i popped a 33 claw so i am rollin on a set of 31 destination mt's until i get the bones for a set of 33's of the same flava
