Who did your motor work?

How long have you been building this? Any stages involved or did you do this first time around etc?

When the lift tires and axles where first put on the stock 4.0 straight six with 145,xxx miles couldnt even turn the tires. Many stages The lift was first back in 08 i think and then the tires axles motor. It was a stock jeep that sat in a garage for 5 years to be built. It was mostly all done in Raliegh and Duram but some in Salem.

What gear ratio are you running? Is the jeep your daily driver?

I like your axle choice, it's different than the usual. Do you plan on keeping it 300 feet tall? It looks like you could lose 6"+ of lift and still have full articulation. It sounds like it was already built when you bought it, right? You could probably make some money selling the lift and getting a smaller one, just food for thought...

So my back hatch and roof is fading badly from sun exposure so i think i will bed line it. Also going to black out my taillights and turn lights and paint my grill. Hope it turns out good.
