Looks nice.  It will look even nicer all modded.  No cure for Jeep-itis

Can't believe you didn't buy mine. You are the buyer i am looking for. Wants a Rubicon and will spend THOUSANDS on upgrades.
$25,000 and you would have had a jeep that will cost you 60 to build...oh well.
Enjoy. :)

I agree.
Av9inch you should return that purdy thing for a refund   ;D

Or trade Tom straight across, sure he could sell it easier then his modded Jeep.

So when is going to be it's first trail test ?

No offense to tom, but my last rig was pre built. I know toms is really, really built, but this project i wanted to tackle on my own, the way i want it done. I dont know, maybe im just nuts. But dont worry, Tom will soon see that he is suffering from insanity and will decide to keep it! (i have faith) Also tom i was going to ask you did you change out your locker when you upgraded to 37's?

But anyways, i ordered a set of 2.5" coil spacers today to hold me over untill i can afford the 5.5" long arm RE kit. Am I right in thinking that i can squeeze on 33's with it? anyone know the width I can run?

I have the eliminator coming for the diff locks, and I should be ready for a run on my next days off.... thinking like the 12th 13th weekend.

OK! Finally got the spacers installed! With a few minor glitches like:
-No jack stands
-Wrong shocks in kit
-Jack breaking and jeep falling on the ground
-with 3 corners done, realizing that you still need the factory "spacers"
-and finally, re-doing all the corner again!

But I think project "CONVICT" looks good! (just needs bigger tires!)

And thanks to tate for stopping by, bringing beer, and showing me i did it wrong!!! (But I only did it so he could be involved with the whole install!)

PS, my stock tires (32x10.5 bfg mt's) are for sale or trade, need some 33x12.5's
