We are new to the forum , but have had our Jeep since August of 2013 .
I'll post a few pictures of the progress . Next month it will be upgraded to 4.88 gears , Eaton Tru Trac differentials and 255/85r16 Falken Wild Peak at4w tires .
This first picture is the day we bought it .

We started with a 2 inch OME lift kit , custom wheels and Lt 235/85r16 Cooper at3's.

It sat too high in the rear so I reinstalled the factory rear springs to set it level .

Removed the passenger air bag and did a custom Ham and CB radio install .

Installed front led flood lights and new led turn/park lights to give it the older look . I removed the original ones and replaced with red plexiglass to fill the holes .

Next we custom built a rear bumper .

Didn't like the led tail lights so I installed a set of flush mount LEDs.

We've made a few upgrades to LJ lately . 4.88 Revolution gears along with Eaton Trutrac differentials. New ball joints , wheel bearings , front axle u-joints , aluminum differential covers , 2 inches of lift rear , 3 inches of lift front , shocks and new Rough Country fender flares that are the same width as the Rubicon flares . A new set of Falken At4w 255/85r16 tires . Also a new Ham-GMRS antenna . My old antenna was too tall to fit under the carport after the lift and tires .
