banks tourque tube header
dynomax hi flow cat, muffler, and pipe
currie hd steering system
poweraid tb spacer
airaid cold air intake
runcool hood vents
bushwhaker cut out fender flares
rocky road control arm drop
rough country quick disco's
jks acos
jks bar pin eliminators
jks x-member with t-case gaurd
rubicon 4.5" rear springs
" " drop pitman arm
" " shocks
" " 4* shims
i have a 3" lift on it now so with the acos up front that should take care of that. i am hoping to run some 33's when its all said and done. i will get an sye when i get back. gonna have to run my junk *** d35c and open diffs for a while cuz i am pretty much spent for the year. that being said i will have to take it easy untill i can get better axles,and some 456 gears. so any advise on cheap tips and parts would great. one problem rite off the top is a place and tools to get this stuff on. i do pretty much just basic maint. stuff so i am a little nervous about digging in this far.

When do you get back, if you want I could help you out with alot of stuff. Never swapped a header though. Looks like a deployment shopping spree.

Yeah but you pay by the hour, and every half hour for the lifts. I would rather just do stuff in my driveway. The last thing I want to do is find out I need another part and still pay there ridiculous fees for my rig just sitting there.

What do you guys do in the Army ? I was part of 25th BSB when it was still there. If you are mech's or have mech buddy's, it's a case of beer per night (well it was a couple years ago) to have the SSG or motorpool Srg stay late and let you use the lifts/tools. We had many BBQ's and fun times after hours.

Yeah, the Auto Hobby Shop at Whidbey NAS jacked their prices up, too. That is why my garage has done almost as many lift kits, gear swaps, locker installs and armor installs as Better Off Road, our local 4x4 shop.

hey dudes how the hell are ya. so this i guess this is a good time for a little back ground on me. so i am in the guard 161 inf. on my second deployment, my first was in 04. i thought this place sucked then and it still dose. last time we had a inf. mission, that aint the case this time. we still get out this time but it aint like the last one. so i aint no fobbit. i guess i cant say much i havent been deployed as much as you AD guys. that being said i think that we get the job done pretty well. alot of guard people are from AD so we fill in pretty good. idk in a little over six years i have spent a little over three years on "active" duty. i dont know what you dudes do and to be honest it would not matter to me because we all bleed red.(white-n-blue). well anyway tampa thanks for the offer i am sure that i will be loging on alot once i get into it.

Hey bro guard or AD doesn't matter over there. Just keep your eyes up and your *** down.

Looking forward to seeing the post-deployment XJ

I made the mistake of not picking up anything before I went on R&R. Next time I am just going to order stuff and let it stack up at home.
