Wheels made it in, tires as well (they're at the shop though).

Should have the entire suspension setup over 4 packages by this Friday.

Update:

Car on the lift getting the suspension setup installed:



The embarasssing after of my Jeep skipping legs day
(Also, notice fender work that needs to be completed) :



Fender is now fixed, all bumper guards present. Also cleaned up all the plastic trim with some Meguar's plastic renewal treatment. Looks gorgeous!



Presently on the to-do list:

-Replace crown bumper cap (front bumper is still dinged in, body shop quotes $100 to straighten and fix)
-Replace torn seats (found a salvage yard with black ones in mint condition, only asking $50!)
-Get center caps for rims (forgot to order these...)
-Window tint all around @ 20%
-Fix rear passenger window button
-Get driver and passenger door jam locks
-Find a steering wheel with cruise control components at a salvage yard (zzz...)
-Fix the damn fog lights
-Fix the damn AC

Thank you.

Found a nice set of dunes and hills to jump off of, ignore the sloppy 30 second youtube account creation:



Jump was at 30 mph, in case anyone is asking. Don't plan on doing it any faster, because my tires just barely cleared the fenders with slight rub during the landing.

Broke the spider gears in the Dana 30 today. Deciding if I should just replace the gears or convert entirely to a Dana 44... :(

For plastics use Wipe New
I've tried so much other shit for it and that by far works the best and last the longest.
