Very nice. I'm itching soo bad to work on the crew but I'm forcing myself to sve cash for more important things...(house)

Priorities are killing me.
Looks good man. Glad to hear you're liking the front springs
 
Looks awesome. I want those tires. How do you like them so far?

Love the tires. On the K5 I had I started with MT Baja Claws and those were great tires, then went to Maxxis Bighorns and gotta say, never had a problem, and they were better in the sand than the Mickey's but seemed to slip more on loose terrain. But so far I'm digging the Krawlers...there's a lot of rock out here and the big lugs seem to just grab hold. They're freakin awesome on the loose stuff too. Not much mud so not sure about that but for Arizona I don't think I could ask for more from a tire. We'll see how they wear...probably only got 4 - 5k on em

You have 4-5k miles on them and they still look that good? Maybe they are worth what they're asking for those tires. I think the Krawlers are the coolest looking rock tire out there.

I was originally gonna go for the Goodyear MT/R's but there was a nationwide backorder on them. Looked into the Nitto Mud Grappler cause of the price and some of the local jeep clubs said they performed well on the terrain out here. But the Krawlers are arguably the best rock tire out there (radial, dot approved), and with 4 ply sidewalls I decided to plunk down the cash. It hurt, and everytime I go on a trip with highway driving it almost seems like I can hear the dollars flying off the tires. But gotta say I don't regret it at all. The Maxxis I had chunked off pretty good on the rock and I don't think I have any so far on BFG's
 
Found some 10" Rigid e-series light bars on craigslist, just mounted em to the bumper for now. Might have something fabbed up to mount them in the grill later.

A few months ago this happened...





Wheel bearing(s) pretty much disintegrated, ended up replacing the hub housing, spindle, rotor, and upgraded the stubs to yukon 35 spline outers and then threw on yukon hubs. That whole thing stung a bit....



Hate working on sand



 
Interior

Originally I just wanted to get some comfy seats in, but this is how we started...





Blew out the majority of dust and dirt with a leaf blower





Ended up rattle canning the doors, roof, dash pad and panels



Then bedlined the floor, used roll on Monstaliner





Had a shop fab up a frame for the PRP's I got from Kert



Seats in!
