Don’t have early pics but, I bought it a year and a half ago. 2007 JKU. It was stock minus so horrendous rims. I swapped those for 17” steelies (the ones you currently see) and 33” Kanati Mud Terrains, which barely lasted 30k miles with a 5 tire rotation schedule.

Driver side slider finished, testing both as jack points, they passed.

Just got them. They're still sitting in the garage. Today I should have the wheels and in the next few days, the J8 master/booster combo. After that I'll put the rear in. Then it's building the steering. I already have new brake lines and lower control arms.

Are the axles on it or did you just get them?

And something magically, and with lots of cussing, found its way in place...

Ok so last night I screwed up and mounted the coils on top of the retainers (roast away, rookie mistake, it was late, I was tired, I offer no other excuses, haha)

Today I fixed that, rerouted the brake lines, plugged in the wheel speed sensors, had tires mounted/balanced, ordered rear driveshaft and parking brake cables....

When I did the Sterling swap on my old Bronco, I remember it being way easier, that or I’m just getting old and out of shape, haha!

That 14 bolts a beast of an axle. For you to tackle that with out a lift is a huge accomplishment. When’s the front going in?

In a couple of weeks. I want to get the rear completely finished and dialed in. I’m already seeing either I need to raise the trackbar a bit or get an adjustable one (adjustable one in future, adjust the stock one for now most likely). I also need to get heims and build the front suspension, swap the lugs for m14-1.5 (current ones are m14-2 and finding matching spacers is a bitch). I already have replacement lower control arms and brake lines for the front.
