yes.. when it’s finished. lol.
bbusch’s LS3 TJR build.. next project => paint and restoration
So got some new stuff going on the heep over the next few weeks so thought I would start a thread showing off the progress.
Just picked her up yesterday in Sac and had some non visible items installed including a banks stainless header, centerforce clutch and lots of maintenance. I ordered a Rock Hard cage today and last week ordered a set of billet hood hinges from Prestige (not yet arrived).

my painter said he’d do the middle of the hood.Candy Apple Hood would match those taillights perfectly
so the rear bumper is still in progress of assembly, there are some complicated snags like this one…

Little sick about it, now I have to remove the bumper and put in some spacers so the bumper doesn’t continue to rub the paint. Luckily it’s not in a visible area.
Rear bumper is overly complex but such a great bumper. I still love the look of it.

And the JL got it’s first tow experience. Glad I got a truck to tow with.

All in the details. I have to get the tachometer working properly so I have to tie into both PCM wiring harnesses and I’m definitely not looking forward to that. I also have a can bus that should make the rear backup lights work, up/down tap shift that will keep 4lo in the gear I want (right now 4 lo just shifts quickly through all six gears). The can bus will also have to tie into the GM PCM. The heater core is shot so I have to remove the dash and replace the core and then there is also a coolant leak somewhere but maybe not (smell may just be the heater core). Front bumper has to be modified so the winch will not touch the front grill. I have a leak with the fitting I made for the steering pump and I also have a minor engine oil leak I have yet to locate. The list goes on…
