      this is where we are today.

      bumpers, axles, corners, tire carrier and rack will be sent to sand blast and then powder coat to match wheels and rocker!

      getting custom drive shafts built for it.

      RCV shafts/ big brakes/ ARB locker/ gears/ gussets and Dynatrac HD ball joints will be on the front axle

      Chromo shafts/ drilled rotors/ ARB and gears for the rear

      suspension:
      stock coils in the rear
      2" ARB coils up front to compensate for the added weight.

      King shocks with compression adjustment!

      repainting the Jeep

      I'm doing a color called "Grigio Telesto" found on Lamborghinis :thumbsup:

      and here is what it looks like

          Thanks Jason

          i'll post more as things progress. this build started on January 27th and is still in progress!

          the Jeep will be featured at the High Country Performance 4X4 open house on May 21st.

          hopefully we can have it done by then!

          once this Jeep is done. I'm dropping a Hemi in my JK and then starting the Ultimate Brute project.

          stay tuned

                  none! I want to build one but need to sell mine to do it! I could keep mine and build a brute it would take a long time though!

                        sorry I haven't posted any pics.. was in Moab and distracted by all the amazing rigs out there. Met Dave and the crew from AEV. very nice people and nice to tie faces with screen names!

                        Here are some old pics I took. Savvy lights before I had them moved back out



                        I wanted it to have that Jeep look. some might like it this way



                        here are some other old ones

                          tailgate hinges already sandblasted/powder coated (those are off the TJ model 97 -02 models) they had those aluminum hinges.. I hate the plastic that was on it from the factory. of course they will come off so the bolts are there just for the time being.

                                I can't stop looking at those. I love how they are designed to support an aftermarket body kit. that's really cool! great job Kilby



                                Jeep is in the paint shop and they need me to come down on Monday to walk through what needs to be done. hopefully they will have it done no latter than May 4th and then it goes back to the shop for final assembly. also all the parts are at sandblast and should have those early this coming week! and then they go to powder coat.

                                That's all I have for today!

                                Thanks

                                P.S it would be nice to be able to post more than 4 pics at once!
