More thread derailing!!
Sorry to butt in, but is your interior "dark gray" or is it Agate? If it's the later, I have khaki half door panels I'll trade you if you end up pulling the trigger on the swap
Poor Nick, constantly subjected to hijacking.
It's Agate. Awesome, thanks, I will for sure contact you if I start on the swap. Several general maintenance, paint correction, and repainting projects going on before I start thinking about it seriously. I've bookmarked your post, but feel free to shoot me a message if you're wondering where I'm at on it down the road (I really have to start a build thread soon).
You're getting quite the stockpile building up. Any idea when the gears, locker, and shafts are going in?
OP
Hopefully soon. Timing everything is the hard part. I don’t think I’m going to enjoy buzzing around on 33’s with the 4.88s for too long and I don’t want to go to 35’s too far before the lift and outboard. So I’m just trying to get all the calendars to line up. And not to mention I’m still waiting on some more parts to come in and go to paint for the whole project to come together. I’m patient. I’m thinking Christmas time or just after everything will come together
Sounds like a solid plan. I plan to have gears and a rear locker by the end of the year as well. I need to start stockpiling parts or cash soon if I'm gonna make it happen.Hopefully soon.

Looks like you're well on your way.

The 6 inch KC’s are the same color temp as the headlights except way brighter. By a lot. Nice clean white, no blue. Overall extremely happy with them and the switch.

Shock towers are in! Such high quality work from poly performance.

All the times I’ve read through this thread, I just noticed you have color matched headlight rings. Front end is looking good

Thanks! One of the first things I did when I got it. I’m not sure what it is about the chrome that looks off to me but I saw someone do the factory match paint a few years back and the chrome never looked right to me since.All the times I’ve read through this thread, I just noticed you have color matched headlight rings.

You're balls to the walls going for it! Love it!
Looking forward to seeing you put it all together.

Its almost getting painful to look at. Like a blue balls sort of pain. It’s right there teasing me, but soon!
OP
Got the 44’s front and rear under the Jeep. RCVs up front with a factory Rubicon locker and Revolutions in the rear with an Eaton e locker. Revolution 4.88’s front and rear (that gearing will take some getting used to) all new timken bearings and seals and new spicer u bolt yokes. The brakes are dodgy at best but that upgrade is around the corner and there’s currently no front driveshaft installed because the stock one I had for the Dana 30 was too long and I’ll just order the correct length once the Savvy under armor is installed.
