Some of you might know me, Collin, I've been to a handful of events in the last year or so riding along with @Ryanw10 or @BLZR. Well I decided to finally bring a build thread over here...I don't feel like posting all of my rebuild progress from when I totaled it until now but if you have any questions just ask...

It was stock when I totaled it and this is what it looks like now





I'm currently 8 lug rear 5 lug front. I should be 8 lug front and rear by the time I head up to Drummond on Oct 22nd. Last night I just picked up some Corbeau Baja JP Wide seats and threw them in, just gotta make a harness bar and get the 4pt's installed.





I've done all the work myself or with the help of friends so I can answer any questions you might have...for some reason there aren't a lot of JK build threads on GL4x4 :sonicjay:

Went to drummond this weekend. Trails and turtle ridge off-road park. Hands down best park in MI. Dozens of miles of natural trails. Also, I got engaged on the bluff at marble head this weekend. No idea when the wedding will be but already started planning bachelor party wheeling trip to Drummond island with a few buddies.

Installed some Fox 2.0 rear shocks last night that @DozerJK gave me. Also picked up a set of new Rancho shocks for the front, hopefully installing tonight along with cutting out my rear wheel wells before this weekend. Also would like to install my new power steering pump but we'll see what happens.

Also came to the conclusion I need more rear bump...Old shocks were completely destroyed from bottoming out hard multiple times. I'll post up a pic in a little bit of what the bar pins looked like.
