Going to bed, and starting at 4:30 tomorrow morning because we have a storm rolling in, and it should be nice and cool till 10am. Finally got thread locker for pressure plate bolts, and the damn socket for the reverse torx

Still waiting on RockAuto to get my damn parts in the mail, so I can get a refund or different clutch. Im still on edge about getting ANYTHING from this company.


Hopefully I'll have it (money or clutch) within the week.

Well, I moved the jeep onto somewhat level ground for the first time, and wouldnt ya know, it sits like a prerunner. GOTTA fix this. Need to do more research because this lift is strange. It resembles the ACOS lift system, but is not adjustable, and uses what looks to be a wrangler coil. Very short. stuffing 32s up front. Ill get a picture later. Rear appears to be stock. Its nearly stuffing 31s out back. God knows what was done to this thing

The CORRECT replacement peugeot slave cylinder should be here monday or tuesday, so I'll have a ton of pics up.

Gonna scrub the clutch and pressure plate and reuse it. Not wasting a dime on this POS trans.
