60mm throttle body and 703 injectors have been installed
And throttle response is NICE...no delay on trying to get up to speed
Gas mileage though? Since it's my first tank it's not bad...

Got a couple upgrades that need to be installed
Picked up a smittybilt rear tire carrier and need to figure out a way to incorporate the no lift shackle relocation brackets with the bumper brackets...shouldn't be too hard to cut some stuff off just like the zj gas tank skid mod and also add in the re2700 shackles I have...
I'm sure it'll be an all day project let's see how it goes...

Ok so the tire carrier is on...
Took about 15-16 hours worth of work mainly cutting the mounting brackets to fit the no lift relocation brackets and tieing them together to the nut strips and not the ones provided...
Also took a while aligning everything up...I’ve read in different reviews on how this bumper has issues with figment and having things lined up...

Well have been busy storing parts for this beauty...
Started installing the 3-link from cavfab
Only got the crossmember on with the xj wonders transmission mount...
It’s a really stout mount compared to the factory one
Cavfab crossmember
Not the best pic but it’s installed with out the tie ins

Will try and get the arms in tomorrow
Borrowed a buddy’s ball joint press and need to bring it to him Monday...
I’ve done control arms bushings before not a bad job just assembling the press together is a pain....
Also, just to include what parts I’ve picked up...
Dirtbound Offroad sliders
Dirtbound Offroad bruiser bumper (a 35” tire is too heavy for my rear suspension set up)
Xjwonders 4gauge cables
8.25 spartan locker
