Which one of these head gaskets would I need? When I look up who has the best head gasket, felpro seems to be the answer. But felpro has 3 different kinds.

You could run an auxillary filter that is replaceable if you want to be a stickler.

Do aftermarket filters have anything else to them? I guess it's unnecessary considering the durability of the AW4?

Aftermarket auxillary ones are like an oil filter you pipe in between the trans cooler and the full trans. Big trucks use them sometimes.

Have you tried looking up the part numbers? lol

Also I always use Rock Auto's application guide for this sort of thing. I don't trust any site that just throws up "FITS YOUR (x)"

I'm just talking about replacing the internal filter when I drain the transmission pan to check everything out and while I'm at it installing the B&M LPD auxillary cooler too.

Nope. Not necessary. People won't believe it. that's why they buy the "screens".

Haha, I believe you guys, it just blows my mind why people would waste $10 every 30,000 miles on something they don't need...but there are a lot of other things like that too now that I think of it. That's why I figured I'd ask. You all seem to have a lot more experience than anyone else i "know" I'm just a newb trying to learn things and do them the right way

It's a really good question. It's not part of any service schedule! The only time the AW4 filter screen is mentioned in service documents - anywhere - is that it can be cleaned as part of a troubleshooting process.

Looking for input on the brackets I made to reroute my soft lines in my rear disc conversion. This also allowed me to use front XJ soft lines in the rear and avoid routing the old ZJ lines to the front.

I like that a lot better than the crappy way mine is routed and such. I couldn't figure out a good way with rocks on the bottom and bumpstops on top with a short soft line.

Interested in a kit? Lol

Originally I had the ZJ line route between the rotor and sway bar mount. Then the hard line wrapped around the front of the sway bar mount on top of the leaf spring to the soft line. This system failed. Rock caught the new hard line.

This should be a LOT better. The only contact point is the covering on the soft line just barely touches the caliper. As you can see though there is plenty of play and protective covering is right there.

Appreciate your feedback!
