i installed a tc drop because of vibrations i was experiencing after i put my rc 3" lift on a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking about getting a dynomax turbo exhaust kit and was wondering what kind of cold air intake would be good to install with it

I have been taking lots of pics. Can't wait to get home and download them onto the computer and see how they really turned out.

so i decided i would clean my rear drums out since the last muddy mess of a jeep run kind of caked everything. i took the first tire off and found a wonderful sight! my leaf spring centering bolts were sheared in half. this pushed the axle forward and loosened up my u bolts and totally messed up my pinion angle. i was shocked and then looked at the other side. the same story. so i dropped the axle down and pulled everything apart and found my shims to be in sorry condition. i ran down to TCs offroad shop and picked up some new 6 degree steel shims and centering bolts. then when i was putting the leafs back together with the shims i realized that i had lost a bottom leaf on one side... i now have six leafs on the driver side and five leafs on the drivers side... so she kind of sags now. but i got it all put back together but didnt get to drive it to test it out. now i am thinking that maybe my driveline wasnt bad? maybe just the shims messed up the pinion angle? i am going to test it out today.

I rotated tires, fixed blinkers, tightened all trim, fixed arm rest lid, changed front brake pads, greased front end, relocated vac bottle to under hood , and put frint bumper back on. I ripped it off on my last outing. Now I have to change my diffs and tc fluids.

i toasted the shims i just put in a few weeks ago. so instead of getting new ones i went the permanent route. i pulled the rear end out, cut off the spring perches, mounted and welded new spring perches about 6 degrees forward. no vibes now
