It finally got warm enough today to take the Jeep out for a spin topless so I thought I post some update pics since the top was off.

I still have a lot to do to it to get it setup how I want it but it swallowed 9K in no time and I’m out of money for now.

Mods so far:
17x8½ AEV Pintler beadlock wheels
37x12.5x17 Goodyear MT/Rs
4 ½ Polly Performance mid arm lift (measures about 5 1/2”)
Rear shock relocation brackets
High steer drag link
Front and rear track bar relocation brackets
Fox compression dampening remote reservoir racing shocks
JE REEL HD drive shafts front and rear
Auxiliary fuse box
CB
200W hard wired inverter
Underbody LEDs
Poison Spyder Customs body armor (under the doors)
Homemade front bumper
Homemade spare tire relocation bracket


To do:
5:13 gears (have them just need to get them installed)
HD diff covers front and rear (have them waiting for the gears)
Weld a bunch of 14/” plate on some venerable parts on the frame
Skid plates (especially under the fuel tank)
Relocate the muffler under the body (CoolTech)
HD steering stabilizer
Chromoly tie-rod
Chromoly axle shafts
Front winch bumper and WARN 9000 winch
Rear bumper with tire carrier
Tube fenders (Poison Spyder)
Rock Rail
Bikini soft top (ORH)
Seat covers
Off-road lights
Dual batteries
Backup camera (can’t see jack right now)

Looks Good...

How does the spare tire ride on the factory mount?

Looks good, does sit well on the 37's.

What bumpers are you going to fit?

It rides fine but I think I'm pushing my luck with it to be honest.

The front will drop slightly more when I add a bumper and winch but I think it looks just about right. Taking the top off makes it look lower even though it’s obviously the same.

I keep changing my mind about bumpers. Right now I’m thinking Shockworks but it’s like ordering from a big menu, I’ll keep changing my mind until the waitress takes my order :grinpimp:

Amazing build so far Alec :smokin:

So the Poly lift w/o bumpers and winch measures out about 1" over? Hmmm. I guess that a Poly 3" sould be just about perfect here in the draconian state of MA. :laughing::shaking:

Alec.........looks great. I'm jealous of those AEV wheels. If I hit the Lotto or started robbing banks, those would be on my Jeep.

Looks great Alec. Hows the poly lift workin out for you? Any problems?

No problems at all yet but I haven’t really wheeled it yet. I’m 100% happy with Poly Performance, it’s a really nicely engineered lift. I showed it to some old time Jeep guys the other day and they were impressed.
