Don't fret Justin, I still may need it because I'm now going long arm with RE leaf packs on my '99 and taking the 4.5" lift I was going to use on it and putting it on the '95.

So with the dropped track bar I'm good on the pitman arm or should I just say **** it and get one anyway cause they're not that expensive?

drop trackbar mount = drop pitman arm required to match
no drop trackbar mount = no dropped pitman arm

I plan to leave the rears for starters, and upgrade them later if I want to. I don't expect to have more than one passenger very often. What wattage amp should I look for, ohms, channels, and all that? I've read a lot, but I can't wrap my head around all the variables with the amps. One of those subs is 500W RMS, dual voice coil, and they sell them in 2 ohm or 4 ohm for the same price. I plan to get two. So what specs would I need on my amp?

also if you put the sub box in the hatch like that you wont have anywhere to stow your T Tops if you take them out on the road

I plan to do a lot of sound deadening: the entire hatch area, most of the trim, and isolaters behind the license plate. Everyone on thirdgen.org has said you can still store the glass in the original place as long as your box sits flush. I haven't heard of any scratching/chipping/breaking on the t-tops.

I'm pretty sure the tranny line is the actual dipstick line. The problem I'm facing is should I just go pull another tranny because if I've been riding without any fluid...I bet some gears and all are messed up.

And where is the sensor? it's not the oil sending unit right?? I had put a new one (JY one) on with the new motor. And I dont see how it happened with the new filter since it was working fine up until now..
