I got a list of things I need to done to the jeep.
-rear bumper (I have a tire carrier already built)
-1" transfer case drop
-ZJ v8 tie rod swap
-ZJ pitman arm 1" drop
-transfer case skid
-diff guards and pinion yoke skids
-iro track bar
-iro control arms.
-control arm drop (when my dad takes them off his for long arms)
-rear cargo boxes and cage like in the picture
-shackle relocation brackets
This is just for now. I have more but now that I don't have a job it's tough to do these things.

Went up the canon 4 wheeling today with my dad. Everything did good till the muddy hill neither of the jeeps would make it. I also broke the sway bar pin cause I didn't disconnect.

Ok so I have been having a terrible grinding noise when deaccelerating that I'm pretty sure is from the slip yoke being pulled so far out. I wanted to find some cheap ways to fix this and I don't really want to do a t-case drop. I found I could get a cross member off a Cherokee with a standard trans that would drop it 3/4" and a yj slip yoke would give 5/8" more to the slip yoke to have more in the transfer case. I've also been considering rustys cross member with 1" drop built in. Can any one think of other ways to do this? If I knew how the transfer case bolted to the cross member I'd make one but I'm not really sure.

Went up providence canyon cause my friend said it was open. I only went up to the big trenches cause they were covered up by snow. As I was going down I saw a guy in a Toyota on 33's. He stopped to ask how far up you can go. I said I stopped cause I didn't have another person so they could pull me out and he said well let's go. We get up to where I went before a small river crossing ditch about 5 ft deep and I make it again no problem. He goes for it and gets stuck. He glazes the snow real bad and I have to hook a strap up and pull him out. He then turned around cause he got scared and I then had no one to pull me out if I got stuck so I turned around again. Then went up this little but steep hill in the parking lot and he didn't follow but made me lock up the brakes coming down cause he got right in front of the trail coming down. Then I went to flex on a rock I flexed on last year and maxed the suspension out. This time I didn't do that and I had more flex in the jeep.
