Love your build! Happy birthday! The jeep looks awesome!

How long were the shocks you were running back in the enforcer life? I'm thinking of starting here aswell.

5100 series for a 3.5-5 inch lift front
Collapsed Length (IN): 16.41
Extended Length (IN): 27.56

5100 series for a 2-4 inch lift rear
Collapsed Length (IN): 15.39
Extended Length (IN): 26.38

I'm pretty sure as these were installed by ORE

Takes 1 hand to close but takes 2 hands to open as you need to pull the 2 spring loaded pins. seems very solid with no rattles so far

Where'd you get your trail table from?

Original plan was to run my compressor / locker switches on the daystar panel in from of the shifter - but haven't done air lockers yet so I had a extra switch up top so re-wired the compressor there and put my stock dash panel back in (that doesn't keep falling out!:doh:)

Hey, on the panel falling out/down all the time, your stock panel should have 4 of those orange clips while the Daystar only has 2. Take the two extras and put them on over the other two clips (so on each side of the Daystar panel, you've got 2 clips for a total of 4). That gives enough of a wedge to hold the panel in nice and tight. Didn't have to use anything else and it's never fallen down on me since.

Still need to wire up the reverse lights and run some wire for my cubes and plate light and 3rd brake light. Fun times!

Branman, did you have to shave any of the fuel filler surround to get it to snap back in? I'm having trouble getting mine back in and didn't know if there was a "trick" to fitting it. Thanks!
