Not much done, been selling the last of my 37" military tires, only have 2 sets left and I'm DONE.....made a little $$$ to spend on Ram and TJ.

Will have the new bumper soon, decided to cut it down narrow and then in 1/2 horizontally to make it shorter, then weld it back up and slap it on. Will be making ALOT more progress now that I have a new welder at home and not messing with tires as much.

Plans right now are:
-install DIY4X shackle flip
-shift bed forward 1.5" and box frame back to bed to stop bed-cab flex
-finish rear bumper
-prep doubler for install, then start fabbing new crossmember and skids
-strip Dana 80 of all brackets, paint & prep for rebuild
-install 5.13s, Detroit and new seals/bearings and drop in Ram
-strip SuperDuty F450 D60 for swap into Ram
-pull and swap axles
-new driveshafts
-new front 5 link and long arms
-Coil-overs in the front!!!
-new brake lines

Once I have it driveable in 2WD I'll focus on getting the Ram axles under the TJ and then start saving up to do a JANA 76 install in the front w/ Dana 70 HP 5.13s and whatever locker I decide....ARB, Detroit

That's my long-ass plan as of right now. Doubt any of it will go according to plan, as usual. This year will be spent building Ram and TJ, prep for moving and selling house...hopefully a little wheeling sprinkled in!
