Ok so when I got the jeep it had a shitty pro comp lift and a ton of shittybilt stuff. I quickly removed the pro comp shit with an EVO Enforcer kit. Now that I have the time and the money I have decided to redo EVERYTHING on my jeep. With that being said, this will be my new build thread.

To do list: (purchased)
King coilover conversion (installed)
King Speed Bumps (installed)
Front Adams DS (installed)
Enforcer Pro lower control arms (installed)
Draglink Flip Kit (installed)
1 Ton Tie Rod (installed)
RK Track Bar (installed)
Track Bar relocation bracket (installed)
EVO Fascia (installed)
EVO Frame Ends (installed)
EVO Tire Carrier (installed)
EVO Corner Skins (installed)
EVO Rock Sliders (installed)
EVO Side Rock Skins (installed)
EVO 1/4 LB with Stinger (installed)
Rock Hard 4x4 sport cage (installed)
Shittybilt X20 Winch (yes I know but it was on sale) (installed minus the line. Waiting for fair lead)

Future To Do List:
Axle Swap (not sure which direction yet)
Long Arm Kit
ATX or Spyderlock Beadlocks
Adams Rear DS
AEV Vented Hood
Lights
PSC Hydro Assist

I'm sure there is more but that's all I got right now.

That was the instillation of the skins and rock sliders. Now that y'all are up to date I can start this "newish" build lol.

I dropped the axle so I could get all the Hawaii surface rust off it.

I'm waiting on some parts so I figured I would knock out the rear fascia.

Reinstalled the front axle.

Ok so now y'all are officially caught up. I'll try and keep the thread as up to date as I can!
 
So weather didn't agree with me nor did any of my tools so I didn't get much done. I started the install on the raised track bar bracket but I have to straighten my driver side sway bar bracket so I can fit the extensions on them. I planned on doing that, installing the drag link flip and my tie rod today but like I said, things didn't go my way.
 
Update: marked and drilled the holes for the EVO Tire carrier today. Tomorrow I will be dropping off the corners and the tire carrier for powder coating. Tomorrow I should also receive the brake lines and rear coil over brackets I was waiting on. If the weather holds this weekend I will install the rest of the lift and get her back on all 4!

Ok finally got a break in the weather today. Got the front coilovers installed as well as my 1 Ton Tie Rod, Flipped Drag Link, RK Track Bar and my Adams DS. I didn't however, get the chance to install my stabilizer. Tomorrow I'm gonna bleed the brakes and bring the tip into the garage (that's what she said lol) to finish it up. Also going to install my EVO 1/4 Pounder w/ Stinger and my XD20 Winch.

It's on all fours again!!
 
Aright I finished the front today, did a rough alignment, torqued everything down. Also installed the EVO 1/4 with stinger and mounted and wired my Smittybilt X20 winch. Still got a few adjustments to make but happy so far! Now on to the rear! ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1460929351.557400.jpg
Wouldn't stop raining so we moved it into the garage since we aren't working on the 47' today.

My dad removed the cross member while I torqued everything down.

Test fit for the winch

And everything for the winch and bumper are secured. I am missing my top 6 stinger bolts tho. Gotta call in the morning for that.
 
Been fighting the weather myself. My garage was built in the 50's so I can't get my rig inside!
 
BTW, look seriously at the ProRock front and rear axle assembly's when you are ready. With the setup you have, you really want to weigh this choice carefully. Eddie has some comments that are enlightening regarding the choices. If you plan on ever using 40's, as Eddie says, stuff starts to break! Anyway, guys like you are what it's all about!
