To date we've added a Rock Hard cage, got the CB mounted, installed a rear seat and seat belts, located a full size spare and wheel, repaired the tire carrier and mounted the spare, installed a M/T pedal assembly awaiting the NV4500 swap, installed a dual battery setup with isolator.

Will be stripping the interior for a full Linex spray in liner next month.

I really like the way you kept the factory bar and added the Rock Hard cage, painted black.

The NV4500 swap is going to be pissah.

The next Jeep I buy will be just like that! I really can't justify throwing money again into a newer Jeep. It'll defiantly be a CJ7 or 8... someday!

Looks really nice Doug. ;)

The front cage is mounted just to fit everything. It will be removed for paint soon (body color, if they can match it), need to paint the 1/2 doors too.

Next on the list is the tranny swap, collecting parts for it now ie: clutch master, line, slave, flywheel, clutch, etc...

Thanks Scott, I'm pretty excited about it. Took it out yesterday for a 100 miles, first time we've driven it since it's been home. Still needs attention to some minor things...squeaks, rattles, etc. We'll get 'em worked out. 8-)

Doug, it's a CJ, squeaks and rattles are all part of the package. :lol:

You must not know me very well Tim. It will not squeak or rattle when I'm done with it... :lol:

OK, it will rattle, as it will be repowered with a 4BT Cummins engine. ;)
