Thanks! Your build is pretty amazing, I have followed it since the begining. I am running the same firewall as you. I did modify it slightly because I am running the Wilwood pedals with the triple master cylinders. Here are some random pics of the install.

Nice build Greg!!

Opened up the stock lower valance for better cooling. The sides will allow air to the front brake ducts and the center will get air to the oil and power steering coolers. Wanted to leave the parking light/turn signals in the same location as stock so we just cut around them.

I knew I wanted to run some yellow fog lights in the location of the original parking light/turn signals but I wasn't sure how I was going to do it. I ordered a set of yellow fog lights for a stock Jeep Wrangler. The original opening for the lights was about a 1/2 larger than the Jeep lights. Wasn't sure of the best way to close this gap so I bought a set of 5 inch into 4 1/2 diesel exhaust pipe transitions and grafted them into place. Then fabbed some mounting tabs to attach the fog lights and keep them adjustable.

Now that I was running fog lights, I need a new place for turn signals. I sketched out an idea for some one-off billet housings which would hold a switch back turn signal/DRL. I sent them to Jonathon at Sparc Industries and he machined up a set of lights that "float" in the center of the brake duct openings.

It's a little bit hard to see, but if you look at that last picture of the front end you will see that the bumper "fangs" that normally highlight the license plate area have been moved outward and now highlight the foglight area. We used three bumpers to make the one on the car now.

I like the hood adjusters on the truck. Slick idea but how do you plan for rain runoff? Do you plan on a drain tube? If you would off left a lip or seal it off flush. What’s your plan?

Thanks,
Jimbo

It is hard to tell in the pics, but the area around the hood bumpers is slightly raised to form a small crown. The body filler defined the crown a little bit more. We ran a small stream of water down the channel on each side of the trunk and the water never did climb the crown, it just went right around.

Since the rear bumper will be painted body color, we spent an entire day body working it and getting it fitted for the final time.
