Thanks everyone. I really am liking how it is turning out as well. It's got kind of a military look to it, don't know how the decals will change the look but I really want and feel I should put them back on.
Mike, they are 15x8's and I got them from www.jeep4x4center.com The offset is 3.75 I think, maybe 4" but they look perfect to me with the 33x12.50's. They will probably stick out an inch or so past the stock flares once I put them back on.

Where to find these terminals?
Does anyone know where to find these terminals?
I believe they are the GM Delphi/Packard terminals that go into the black plastic clips for the Tachometer. From what I found their part numbers are P56MT(male) and P56FMT(female).
I have to cut an ignition wire going to the steering column from the Painless wiring kit and would like to put these terminals on the ends as well as the original plastic clips so I can just plug the tach in series as it originally went. BUT, I can't find them anywhere. Forget local autoparts stores, even GM dealerships don't have them, and a local electronics supply store owner told me to get a Delorean and go back 25 years
I would find them there. 
I couldn't believe it.

those are Packard 59 series terminals (thats if there the bigger one)..... not 56 cause 56 you can get at any parts store but 59 are a little harder to find......
this place you can get them but they have a $25 min to order.....

Thanks...I figured online would be my only resource. Perhaps I will hand the extra's out as gifts at the National :rotfl
Thanks Randyzzz, I tried Napa but the local ones only had smaller ones for 14-16ga wire. I needed it for 10-12ga wire.

Exhaust is done!
One Ton was kind enough to help me trailer the Jeep to the exhaust shop today...he had mentioned a place right near the house and I saw that they do a lot of great custom work. The system is a 2 1/2" pipe at the header tapering down to 2 1/4 for the majority of the system. It is all stainless tubing, with catalytic converter, and Magnaflow muffler. The install looks very clean. The shop used the stock location for 1 hanger by the e-brake cable. The TDK frame I have doesn't have a threaded hole, or a hole at all for the stock hangar bracket by the left rear leaf spring shackle so they were going to have to do something custom.
Don't know if it's visible but there is an extra stud coming down from the rear fuel tank crossmember that is an extra one welded to the TDK frame for versatility with multiple types of tanks. The 20gal poly tank I have doesn't require that stud so the shop used it as the mount for the final exhaust hanger. That is why it comes out after the shackle instead of in front of it like the stock exhaust did. I really like the way it turned out.
Here's a couple more pictures.
The shop that did the work is Roberts Custom Exhaust in Stafford VA. I have no complaints...love the fitment, quality, and sound. I should have a video of my first "real drive". Right now I have to dial in the timing with the light and trim the fan shroud a little because the fan is hitting in one spot and creating a racket that is not video worthy. I also ordered 25 male and 25 female GM terminals to wire my stock tach in to the painless harness. Anyone want some freebees...I only need 2

Looking good
Out of curiosity, how loud is the new exhaust? I noticed that "Yard Scrambler", which has Hedmann Headers, a cat, and some kind of muffler (no tail pipe currently) was surprisingly loud. Not "obnoxious", but pretty throaty/rumbly/V8ish
My red Scrambler, with stock manifold, no cat, and Magnaflow muffler, is fairly quiet
Just curious, get us a video

Not at all!
Spankrjs...I will have a video soon. It is pretty throaty, though it was hard for me to hear over the slapping of the fan on the plastic fan shroud.

Windshield is in.
Not much excitement there. Although it is a milestone; now the only thing stopping me from completing the last items and driving the Jeep is laziness. Gotta get back to work.
