I hear ya. I'm tryin to save up for my gears too, the 33s kill my highway power

 

Get Yukon install kits. They are awesome! Come with quality stuff and plenty of shims in plenty of sizes.

 

Just did the 8.8 swap in my XJ , I tacked the center to the tubes used a ruff stuff install kit reused the shock brackets off my d35 . I should have the new carrier and gears/install kit after the first of the year . It is nice having 4.10s
On 30 tall rubber the 8.8 looks funny under the jeep but , I won't have to worry about it any more . Disc brakes in the rear made my rig stop a lot better .

 

Bought the jeep a present:

Ironman4x4 upper control arms w/ poly bushings


In thanks it promptly rewarded me with this:

Throttle Position Sensor committed suicide

But it got me though the snow without issue the last couple days. Now there's no snow on the roads so - perfect timing i guess

 

Ungrateful...

 

right? what a dick

 

Merry Jeepmas to all!

 

Thanks Dukie! You too!

 

Snooooooow (about 1 hour after it started - we got about 6" total)


aaaaand my blower motor is dead...so the lack of forced heat in blizzard conditions was fun

 

So damn jealous... Of the snow. How do the MTZ's do?

 

haven't hadto use 4wd expect on an unplowed steep hill decent for safety, so good lol

 

Looks good Dukie! I'm jealous, we have snow here but my rig is tore apart.

 

I miss the snow... I DO NOT miss my blower motor going out in incliment weather. Sucks when it's warm and rainy here too - all the windows fog up and you end up pulling an Ace Ventura and driving with your head out the window.

 

$22 later and I have a new blower motor. Old one was definitely original and locked up. HEAT IS GOOD.

 

Ah the whole motor went out? That sucks. Heat is a good thing!
