Congrats!

Thanks, and they already shipped it too. I'm itching to get wrenching, but I'm gonna have to wait to install it till after the Valentines trip. We changed the plans, we are going up to Washington for the weekend and I don't want the maiden voyage of a new lift to be a 700 mile trip.

I'm very happy with my Zone lift so far, sure you will be too.

Ya it looks like a solid kit, and I can build on it as well. If I wanna go higher, coil spacers and lift shackles, along with appropriate driveline parts, don't want death wobble or vibrations.

I wanna see pictures of the lift kit!

I am aware that And I will get right on that, once I actually receive the lift.

Now where did I put that teleporter..................

at05gt

Got a few small deliveries yesterday, windshield light brackets, square led spots, picked up items to do a tune up and Trans drain and fill. Finally grabbed some friction modifier so my rear diff will stop groaning. Installed the brackets and lights last night, tried to slice my knuckle off while splitting cable insulation, no carnage pics sadly.

Lift is arriving TODAY.

Got the lift yesterday, decided if I'm gonna do a lift I may as well replace ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. So I ordered a bunch more parts.

WheelingWV

Hope your knuckle is ok.

Good idea to freshen up everything. Those parts are the boring ones to put money into, but are necessities. Hell, I know this isn't your first rodeo.

Which lights did you choose?

at05gt

They are 2 inch square, 20w Cree Leds.

Spent the last 2 days doing a tune up and dealing with leaking transmission lines. I had originally purchased new lines, but when I got home with them they where damaged. Looked like someone had set a box on them and crushed the hard line. So I returned them and bought some 3/8 transmission hose. Took the lines completely out and disassembled the hose/hard line connection. Clamped on the new hose with hose clamps and ran it for a half hour drive on the freeway. No leaks as of yet. The hard line connections at the transmission are a pain in the ***, stupid disconnects. I was not able to get my hose over the "flare" on each pipe, will it be ok with just a hose clamp, or should I pull it apart and flare the pipe end a little?

After I finished the lines I did some fluid changes, transfer case, transmission, and oil. My tcase oil was disgusting, like almost solid black, transmission was almost as bad. Jeep feels a lot smoother now. Also added some friction modifier to my D35, because apparently I have a limited slip.........

jay_sco

Limited slip?! That's always a good surprise! Where's the pics? This thread needs more pics.

at05gt

I need to do some more research but the last time I had the D35 open, it did not look like a standard diff.

Got some interior led lights and finally fixed my gauge lights.







Had to tear apart the passenger visor and solder the connections. It had power but was not turning the lights on, it turned out to be a bad connection inside the visor. I'm gonna rewrap them in black felt at some point.

Need to find a different way to mount the lights for the dash switches, only the wiper light stays on, trans comfort switch light blinks on and off, and the fog lights and defroster went out right after taking that picture. I think I got a bad batch of LED's.

How do you like the LEDs? I've been thinking about it on whether in makes the dash look newer or just brighter. Thoughts?
