First TJ Build... How'd I do?

[cdl.computersinc]

I've been wanting to do a TJ build for a long LONG time, but couldn't justify the markups on Wranglers when it would only be driven for fun and not as a daily. Finally came across one for a fair price, excellent condition, and bone stock:

After a few months and lots of hours in the garage, this is the result:

How'd I do?

The questions will come soon, "What size lift? What size tires? What front and rear bumper? What fender flares?"
But it does look good. Congrats and Welcome...

Looks great! I just recently got the same Fishbone front bumper. I'm pleased so far. How was mounting the winch on it? I know it doesn't have the pre-drilled winch mount holes, so I was just curious.

Agreed, looks great! Did ya end up needing to install a SYE?

I bought the Fishbone mounting plate which uses the same holes that attach the bumper, as well as an additional bolt on each side where the swaybar is mounted. Installation was breeze!

Absolutely, I was vibrating as soon as I pulled out of the driveway lol. SYE and new rear shaft fixed it right up.
