Just picked up some more parts. Thanks to bsimon187 on the awesome deal. Picked up some Ace sliders to replace my mopar steps and an Engo 10S winch, the winch has wiring issues i hope I can solve.
 
The winch and sliders I just picked up. Cant wait to install them. Going to replace solinoids in the winch first tho.

Replaced the solinoids this morning on the winch and it works perfect now.
Heres what it looked like before1428341536126.jpg

Love how it looks now with a winch in the bumper also. 1428341586288.jpg

Also installed the ACE sliders this morning. Pretty beefy compared to how my steps were. 1428341663441.jpg
 
Last night I sold my hellas and picked up a 20" light bar and a cb radio with weather alerts.

Once home from work this morning, I begin to install. First i did the light bar, I was hoping it would bolt to the windshield bump pad holes. But nooo, thst would be too easy lol. I had some spare stuff sittting around and managed to put together brackets. I used brake line spacers on each side, it also moved the light back so I wont have too much cable on the hood. Right now I have it spliced into my fogs.

With the cb, it came off of an xj, so I had to modify the bracket for the antenna. Ran the coax through the roll cage and mounted the cb over the mirror.

Would seem that you would have a huge amount of reflection from the hood. How do you angle it down so you can see in front of you on the trail?
 
It points straight in front of me. I havent turned it on at night yet so I dont know if it will reflect or not. Im hoping it wont due to the fact I didnt use gloss on the louver. But its not pointed down towards the road/trail since I dont wheel at night.
 
Well I picked up a few things this week. My buddy upgraded his truck tires from 315/70r17 firestone all terrains to some mtrs and gave me a killer deal on his firestones. Picked up 4 with less than 10k miles on them, never been offroad for $100 per tire. Will be throwing them on stock moabs for the time being with some spacers. Also had a buddy give my his old d30 with 4.10s in it and his 4.10s out of his rear 44. So hopefully on the next few months I can do a little maintanince under the jk and upgrade from 3.21s lol.
 
Got chance to mount the 35s today. Love the low center of gravity look. 35s on stock suspension with flat flares.

Well unfortunately, due to having a little one, I havent been able to mod like I want or wheel like I want. So we have decided to sell the jk for the time being any unfortunately become jeepless. We will be purchasing another jeep in a few years, wheather it needs tlc or brand new. We want to spend the time we get with the little one with the little one instead of spending hrs modding and playing in the woods. So my jeep will be returning back to stock and parts sold. I hate it, but it is life.
