I had someone else make mine for me - but essentially the same thing - 4awg welding cable, tinned end lugs, sealed and shrink tubed. Haven't put them on yet but a huge upgrade over stock I'm sure.

Absolutely necessary if you're upgrading your alternator like I am.

I will probablu just wait til I have the need for a super 88 kit. Although I don't think I'll be busting too many shafts on the 8.8.

We'll see.
I've been running an 8.8 with a full carrier Detroit, 4.56 gears, Solid diff cover and stock shafts on 35's for 6 years. Never broke it.

That's good to hear.

I'll be running it the same way, except probably a true trac and 4.88s and maybe a riddler. Lol

I'm sorry.

It should be extremely detailed...

Extend arm toward wires
Flex fingers to grasp wires
Raise wires, carry wires to vehicle
Lay wires near vehicle
Release grasp on wires
Retract arm
Extend arm toward wrench
Flex fingers to grasp wrench...

Instructions from the top 5th percentile.

Alternator. Good point. I might get there one day, but I'm just worried about my crappy engine-body ground.

I run a Welded Thrush muffler on my DD.

It's made exactly like a Flowmaster FM40 but costs half the price.

I have a FM40 on my trail junk.

Hey everyone I'm working on my mj tday and got a front driveshaft question. My DS is about fully collapsed installed on level ground. Is that ideal for 5.5 lift or should it be more expanded installed? I was told that the DS is from a v8 zj

I've always ran thrush welded mufflers on all my jeeps. It's the perfect balance of sound. And like lowrange said... At half the price...
