Don't unthaw too much or that shock when you go back north will be a killer.
Happy Holidays to you and yours. Enjoy the time with family. The Jeep will be there when you get back.
OP
I am loving the 50*weather and not shoveling snow daily!
Happy holidays to you as well!

Time to revive the thread!!! Hope everyone had a great holiday!
So today got the core for the intercooler mounted where I want it. Also finished up a bracket for ARB and grid heater relay box.

Damn - I need to take welding lessons from you. Nice work.
OP
More updates. Tanks and mounts are on the intercooler. Put in the radiator to check for fitment.
While waiting for intercooler and exhaust piping to come in I'll be prepping the 8.8 to go in. Truss, and ox locker going in. Staying with the 4.10 gear ratio in it.

I like that intercooler setup 1000% more than what I did. I really need to get the equipment so I can weld aluminum . . .
Great work and keep the updates coming!
OP
Appreciate it! I think it looks pretty sharp and different from the other kits offered.
OP
Work has been keeping me extremely busy.
Truss is almost all welded up on the 8.8. had to make new upper control arm brackets for the MC joints, and had to shorten the upper control arms a few inches.
The intercooler now has pipes welded on.
Getting close!!!!

I ordered some constant spring tension clamps. They will be going on shortly.

Congratulations. I know how good of a feeling it is when you take that first drive. Look forward to hearing more about how you like it.
Looks great BTW.
