Finished up the wiring harness and everything works as designed! Lights, hazards, fan, wipers, directionals, everyting! I then went and installed my front axle. I Martacked the axles, rebuilt the birfs, and now just waiting for rotors.

I installed the rear 4" springs. This will result in removing the 29" highway tires for some 32" Super Swampers.

I'm on my way to garage to install the fronts.

Washed it today. Spent the last week testing out the newly installed 4" lift on whatever trail, fire road, mud puddle, etc. I could find. Stoked on the end result.

I went with the Safari 4.5" lift from MAF. It's still a little stiff, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Definitely like the way it looks.

It barely makes it in the garage. I have to manually release the door and push it up all the way. Already s****ed the hardtop a couple times when I forgot to push the garage door up all the way. :doh:
 
i started pulling off parts to clean & repaint and started to replace some old nuts & bolts.

Pulled off the rear suspension, cleaned each individual leaf with the bench wire wheel, added the add-a-leafs, and successfully installed the greasable shackles & pins, changed all the fluids, and a new shift boot for the tranny tunnel tcase shifter.
