Did some offroading sunday tried out thelong arms and I love them.

Also flooded my interior which sucks *** but I guess that means I need to start pulling it all out and bed line it

Here's some pics I have on my phone for now.

Ny alternator also killed itself in the puddle haha but she came back to life like a miracle at a gas station on the way home. I was charging the battery up so I can keep driving off my friends jeep and I think his optima yellow top gave my jeep a second life lol

i have some Napa pads in now and im pretty much just going to be changing them out because they make alot of noise when i stop and its driving me nuts. i dont wanna just pull them apart and them apply the anti vibration stuff to the ones on there(they are like only 6 months old) so i figured id just change out the pads since they are fairly cheap

Well a small update:
I am kinda thinking of selling it and buying a Tj but I'm still not 100% at all. So don't worry haha

Also
Changed the serpentine belt and tensioner pulley tonight because it was getting worn beyond my liking and I could always use a spare belt. Also burned my damn hand on the exhaust manifold ugh fail
