Looks like it's going to be a nicely built JK. Couple of questions for you. Did you change the grill and headlights on the YJ to that of a TJ? Also are the M/T wheels a true beadlock or simulated?

Yes I swapped out the yj grill hood, headlights and cowl rods, and added the tj grill, hood headlights, cowl rods, jk signals, and also fabbed up a new radiator support bracket

The MT rings are just sims they bolt on.

Cool I like that Gecko color on your rig. Good luck on your new venture!
 
The yj looks cool,I'd have a hard time deciding which one I would want to drive:thumbup:

Started the lift tonight... Got most of the front finished. Everything went in pretty smooth. Only issue was that the teraflex upper bump stops were too wide for the new RK triple rate springs to slide over. So I trimmed them a bit... I'll hopefully finish up the front and the back tomorrow after work...

Ohhhhhh! Are these the new RK springs? The ones that are coming out on the 1.5" Kits being released on the 11th? If so I'm very keen to hear about how they ride. :brows:

I believe they are the new triple rate coils. Extremely beefy and durable. The pic I posted was the rear. And those alone and a huge difference. I'll keep ya posted on ride quality when I'm finished
 
Finished up the lift today.... Took her for a ride... Going to get an alignment Monday. Other than that I'm extremely happy with the install went and the quality of RKs components... I just have to add my lock rings. ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1386459750.103020.jpg
