Since you don't get a lot of replies in here, thanks for all the documentation and pictures.
It's so much info and I've been paying attention for when I get around to my budget version for the TJ.
Thanks for the kind words! It's always nice to have somebody chime in every now and again. I've noticed that this thread gets a ton of views but not many posts.
You've probably figured it out, but there are ways to keep the budget lower without compromising the build. A known good 250-300hp LS junkyard engine would help reduce the cost significantly not only because the engine would be cheaper to start with but because you could get by with other lower cost components (stock JK transferase, cheaper 1310 driveshafts, cheaper axles, etc). If you don't mind a 4L instead of the 6L80 you can save some money there too since the wiring hardness would be much more doable to splice yourself instead of having to have a CANBUS interface like I had to do.
