Hey thanks man. Almost forgot about this thread..

Now my Tj sports poison Spider Defenders, rockers, and I have the rear 3" flares but haven't installed them yet.

I also have had a Genright stretch tank sitting here for over a year...maybe I'll install it someday.  

Last summer I somehow broke a skirt off piston #4. So I put a reman 2.5 in it.

I also scored a 93 5.0 HO and an aluminum 4 speed bellhousing. I have had a Ford 203 and a few Dana 300s for a while also. Also got a KP Ford 60 laying around...

I've also picked up some other parts along the way. Just debating if I want to completely overhaul the Tj or make a true trail rig out of a Cj....

My 35" XMT2s came in today...finally. Just finished putting them on. Also put the best MTX outta the bunch on my tailgate. Figured it has to be better than the 33" Claw slick that was my spare.

The JJoint front housing kit also came in today. I stuck it by the front Antirock...

Still waiting on more parts...

Oh! My warrantied rear Alloy shaft came in Friday too. It came with a new bearing but my bearing was still good. Kinda pee'd me off that it didn't come with studs too....ah well. Can't win em all.

Finally got the Savvy front upper and lower CAs installed, along with the JJoint housing kit, front Antirock, and Currie Adj. front trac bar.

Broke the stem on my front shock while screwing around, Bilstein 5100s are on the way. Just fronts for now..

Cause I'm cheap like that.  

When the new shocks get here I'm going to have to mess with the front bumpstops.

Also I'm gonna have ta mod my front bumper cause of the Antirock. I marked what needs cut out. I will take it to work and let the maintainance men cut it out with the plasma cutter.

Pics to follow if I ever take any.

Allright, installed all of the parts from my last post.

Bought all 4 Billstein 5100s. But only installed the fronts.

Bought an 8.8 with brand new 4.88s and an ARB. Also has yellow stuff pads and Centric rotors.

Ordered UCF ultra high clearance Tcase skid during their 4th of July sale. It shipped today.

Also bought a 1.5 gallon air tank.

Ordering a JB conversions SS Sye Monday. Will also order the ARB CKMA12 compressor.

Still need to order:
Rear E brake cables for 8.8 discs
Joints for my rear UCA's
ARB solenoid
ARB switch and cover for rear locker

Will post up when everything gets here.


Couple of pics from last round of installs.




And this was from the Memorial Day camping trip.
