Updates:

The running boards are off and the rocker panels are Rhino Lined ...





Just finished the 2" body lift from 4Crawler ...









I spent the last month and a half working on the electrical accessory system. I'm building an entire harness and fuse panel for the cornering lights, b/u and rear corner lights, rock lights, ARB air lockers, compressor, etc. and an accessory switch panel that will fit where the OEM single CD player normally sits in the console forward of the shifter. Everything I add will tie into this rather than run everything separately.

1/0AWG for the XD9000 winch, 1/0AWG for the alternator to battery and replacement for the OEM negative battery cable, and 1/0AWG for the new fuse panel to the battery.

And, the 175A alternator from QualityPower was installed this week as well.

I'll post up all details when I have more time.

The next steps are: rip out the OEM intake and ABS, install the new air intake, do all the wiring and rebuild the brake system sans the ABS system. THEN the fun begins - the transmission swap, crawl box and NP231 install. Oh, boy.

Then its off to the shop to get the All-Pro rock skids, ARB bull bar and winch installed. Custom rear bumper and tire carrier after that, and then it'll be time to torch the bottom off and do the SAS.

Hoping to have this project completed and tested before our April trip to Moab.
