You and me both. My buddy Brent just bought his 2nd jeep. The first one is a 97 TJ rolling on 39s, hybrid 609 rear axle, 60 front, pimped to the hilt. The one he just bought is an 05 TJ Rubicon that is rolling 35s, Teraflex low COG kit, and a load of other goodies as well. He has 2 SWEEEET jeeps and that makes me want more and more to finish mine. I just need the $ to buy the parts cheap, and then fork out the big bucks for the labor for TFab to do the custom top of the line work.

This is the look I am going for. What do you think? His has the ugly rounded hood, which my Renegade Model doesn't. Mine is nice and flat.

sick i love the rear bumper

WTF That is f***ing sweet. I want one.

That is basically what my rig will look like on 35s. Should be nice.

Damm, I cant wait. That is just going to be SICK!!

Done some more work on my rig, thought I'd share:

I cut out my rockers and welded in some serious beef for built in rock rails:
before









after



I also ordered new tires
35x12.5x15 MT/R Kevlars

I have ordered just about everything for my SAS too.

I just need brake lines and drive lines. Then I have to pay or build it myself.

Jeep!!! I like it,very nice.

It's been a really really long time since I've posted here. I was an admin on 2 other sites, then I am on Reno4x4, Jeepforum, and Expedition Portal too, so I just slacked off about this site. Sorry Ty. I gave up my admin duties on those other sites and I won't be visiting them anymore so hopefully I'll pop in here more frequently.

My Jeep has changed quite a bit since the last time I posted on here...

Full pictures can be found on my blog, here: http://incubusmike.blogspot.com/

Here is what the jeep looks like now.













I'd like to lose 1.5" of height in it to lower the COG, but it is a great otherwise. I'll need to buy new rear springs and adjust the front coilovers to lose that 1.5" inch so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.

I want to add a front grill hoop, fix the rear bumper so it will hold a hi lift again, modify the rear bumper to make it look a little cleaner and finished, and add 2 more rock lights under the belly of the jeep. Eventually some beefier axles, and a Rocktrac t-case and call it good. As of now the thing is a beast and wheels like a champ. I also made a little trailer to pull behind it. The trailer won't see much if any off road action besides fire roads. It is mainly just for mild excursions with the family.
