All of that! Except the impact. It's not hard to torque it to spec so I see no reason not to.

It's not hard to let a pro do it.... I don't have the patience or skill to set up R&P apparently. Lol

I've been busy with work and whatnot so I've yet to call bill per at gbr but the shop that I'm gonna take the diffs to talked to him and I'm gonna order up the rebuild kits from him. I gotta get these things in already so I can move on to the next project, bed lining the floor and chopping my roof off, and in the mean time find a new front bumper

I want to chop my roof bad and cage it. Post pics when you get it done. I've already got the image of what I want in my head and on paper

For sure. I've mostly got what I want to do thought up and though through, the part I just can get past is The soft top but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it

I don't plan on doing the exo cage but I'd like the internal to look something like the one from the four door wranglers, angles like the rrc. Keep the front doors and glass intact, remove the tops of the rear doors and chop everything off but the very front part of the roof back to the b pilars. I live right around the corner from badger so I plan to have Chris make the top if he'll agree to it, I've mentioned it before to him
