Finally had some time to put my inner fenders back in and wire up the Warn power interrupt. As I went to take off the positive wire from the terminal, to place on the relay, I realized the terminal was loose. Went to tighten it and the nut barely budged....as the stud snapped 
. Probably going to order a different terminal, but this Auto Zone special worked in a pinch. Anybody else had this issue?

Looking awesome. Add me to the list of fellow Granite Crystal owners who are about 4 years and $15k behind you

Suspension was all stock. I just cut the fenders. I personally didn't like the look of full fenders with stubby bumpers.
It really is an awesome color! I'm happy I ended up with this vs. Copperhead that I planned on ordering. Your rig looks awesome, though!
Thank you!!

Thanks! Haha I know how that goes. I lurked on these pages for years wanting a Jeep and saved my pennies driving beaters. Wish it was only 15k, though lol

Not much to update here. This time of year is insane for me. I work in the performance automotive world and with SEMA, PRI, and race season rebuilds it's super hectic. I do have some PAC springs I'm going to play with in 25lb increments. My only real gripe with the current coilover set-up is the rear bottoming out. I've had coilovers for years and playing with these things is the main reason I went this route anyway. I'll also be playing with shims in the future as well.
I'm getting closer to having my LS engine built for this. Saving for axles has become a priority. If only I could quit buying tools, I'd be in good shape!

Haven't done a whole lot to the Jeep besides normal maintenance. My original paint job on the skins didn't hold out so well with salt. The countersink was rusting, so I decided to have those powder coated. I did finally get my CB installed, hinge sleeves replaced, and working on a new exhaust. I'm shocked how bad my factory hinges were after basically 1 winter. Pain in the ass job!! My new Dynomax quiet crawler should be here this afternoon .
Next will be cage, gears, and ram assist.

Rig looks amazing keep up the good work !
How do you like your CB and the mounting location ? I'm about to do the same set up.
What antenna did you decide to go with ?

Thanks! The CB mount is the cheap rugged ridge deal, which I don't like at all. It's just too flimsy for my liking. I bought it as a temporary solution while I'm waiting to install my cage. As far as the location goes I have no complaints. If you're using a full size CB it's where I prefer it. I'm using a 4ft firestick II.

Small update. Haven't been on here or done much to the Jeep lately. Too busy with other people's projects, and working like crazy. I did however buy a hard rock hood, and some Ace inner fenders. The hood will go to paint next week. Just started on the inners, as they take quite a bit of cutting to work with coilovers. More pics coming soon!
