Default great build!

This is very inspirational to me! Love the look! Anxious to start mine! What's involved in the 8.8 swap? Simply bolt in??

The other day i finally fixed my heat.

Replaced my whole HVAC box including heater core. Was out of my friends 98 which he was parting out.

It took me about an hour and a half to pull the the box out of the other Jeep. Didn't have the special tools for the AC lines so angle grinder it was.

Went over my buddy's garage and immediatly went to work. Everything came out pretty easily. Only snag we really ran into was with the vacuum lines. And with a little thinking just took the lines off the old box.

Considering the first time i replaced the heater core and not doing it correctly took me 2 full days of work. Only 4 hours this time with 2 people.

Ordered a set of flush mount 20 watt LEDs to put in the rear bumper for reverse lights.

Just ordered an Iron Rock Offroad double shear track bar and a set of their adjustable Lower Control arms.

Plan is to relift to 4" of lift with the 32s and swap axles soon and then bump up to 35s when I can

Track Bar, LCAs and flush mount LEDs are here.

sometime this week I'll be taking the Jeep to my uncles shop (where I bought it from) and they will be fixing my O2 sensor finally. emissions is coming up.....

also ordered some new rims. 15x8 3.75BS Pro Comp D-windows. Really debating on ordering the rest of the stuff I need for my 8.8 swap too.

Order from RuffStuff is here

Leaf spring perches
Shock mounts
Leaf spring plates

Talking to the guy who made my bumper about welding the axle.

He's going to let me use his shop to clean it up, and get it prepped for welding. So hopefully it doesnt cost me too much to get that done.
