Started off as this build http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116489

Since purchasing this rig just over a year ago now, I have done quite a bit too it. I'll just go through a quick run through and try to find some of my pics I have of it. Obviously had to do some replacing of wear and tear items, but here's a list of some of the good stuff...

Started out throwing basically a new 9" rear end in the rig and maintained the 5.13 gear ratio with a full spool

Ended up needing a new winch, so I threw a 10,500lb Recon Recovery winch with synthetic line on it. Winch works great, haven't had a single hiccup with it.

Sold off the 37" Iroks and the 37" military Goodyear Wranglers, and now a set of 39.5/13.50/15 Iroks sit underneath

Broke a stub shaft out snow wheeling one day, so decided to go all out and bought a set of Nitro chromoly axle shafts for it and coupled them with some CTM axle joints...No issues whatsoever yet with those

Did some other random things over the course of the year such as...Threw in one of the spare trannys that came with, new clutch, mounted up four 7" HID offroad lights on the front bumper, plus a few other minor things I probably forgot, but nothing crazy

As of 2/4/15 now the front end is locked up, rear end was sagging a bit and since I plan on adding a little extra weight to it I bought some add a leafs for it, and finally got some beadlocks as well for it. Only things left that I really wanna do for this upcoming season is get a truck toolbox to mount up in the "bed" and do a spare tire carrier set up...Will also be going in for a facelift at some point this upcoming summer, gonna do some body work and throw on some new color and see if we can purrty her up a bit
