that's coming along fast!
those tires look massive against the wheel wells!
How many times have you cringed and thought to yourselves...brand new JL and were taking it apart, cutting it up with less than...how many miles does it have???
looking forward to getting a closer look at EJS - assuming it will be there

You realize theJL is new right? Probably gonna be lots of mods you haven't heard of yet. Vendors are just getting their hands on these things. [emoji106]

I think they just had to “Modify” something because the FAD was removed (well, the whole axle)

So, so cool. Since nobody has said it, I call first dibs at making an offer if you guys at Dynatrac decide to unload this in a couple of years to start a new project.
Gee...where have I heard that before...

Lol! I’m glad you remember. Hey, with my oldest taking my Jeep in 4 months I have to start planning for the future, right?

UPDATE 01-19-18
Our updates on this thread are a day or two behind, but we are right now in the last planned day, and we’re hoping to go wheeling tomorrow. We’ll see if we make that deadline or if we have to push it back a day. Either way, we are definitely in the final stretch!
With the EVO Manufacturing 4-inch Extreme Overlanding suspension system installed, we cycled the suspension and checked for clearance issues with the massive 42x14.50-17 Maxxis Trepedor tires.
We’re using MOPAR High Top fenders which give us a couple of additional inches of clearance around the wheel openings but still retain a factory look. No, that’s not a masking tape drive flange on the ProRock XD60. At this point, we had not assembled the front axle, so we just taped over the empty hub to keep debris out. One of our guys thought it would be clever to put a Dynatrac decal on it.
With the suspension sorted out, we could take the axles out and get them over to welding and assembly to finish them up. We’re using an Eaton ELocker in the XD60 front, along with 5.38 gears.
With most of the mechanical work done, it was time to change the color. CODE1 is supposed to have an overlanding, rock crawler, military look to it when complete. So we are doing a Matte Military Green vinyl wrap on it.
Now CODE1 is starting to look the part.
Bestop customized a softop for us. This black canvas top has zip-out side panels that go the full length of the rear section – combining where the back door was and the factory rear-window section. We’ll be able to roll these up or remove them.
Here’s the full side view so you can get a better idea of the overall look with the wheels, tires, MOPAR flares, long-wheelbase two-door and the canvas top.
And the view from the front with the EVO bumper in place with the Warn ZEON Platinum winch and Baja Design LP9 LED off-road lights.

Nice! The filler panels with the bestop came out perfect. The wheels look too big, maybe it'll grow on me.. badass!

I was half expecting to see eddie in that last picture sneaking in to put a WAL banner on the windshield. In all seriousness that looks great, any chance we can get some interior pics? Would like to see what kind of blind spot that top gives you with the side panels on. Also the total weight of this build
