Can't really tell. It's more of a piece of mind upgrade anyways.

No re-gear yet since I changed my mind. I have a 4.10 geared 8.8 in my shed to get ready to swap - still need to get the truss and brake parts. Once thats in I'll re-gear the front to match. Already have the gears and install kit for that.

The silver stuff is aluminized Chassis Saver from Magnet Paints. Really tough stuff - I think I still have some on my skin lol.

Over that I used just a genearic rubberized undercoating

I was about to ask about NAC fest. We had one guy from NJ come down to the Crawl after NAC fest. Cool guy.

Glad to see someone else making 231 shift linkage. The stock stuff is stupid. Mine needs to be adjusted like 2 turns but I am too lazy to do it without dropping my skid first.

Matt was there in the TJ and killed his gearset on Saturday in the group I was riding with on Mason Jar. I think I saw that XJ but I dont remember... there were 50 rigs there. The guy I met was from NJ in his Gf's stocker white 4 door. He said he had another XJ with a cage. He said the Super Extreme Chapter was better.

my alternator took a **** on me today! Woopee!!

SO i spent a few hours this morning and installed the 136A v8 Dodge Ram alternator and modified brackets i've had sitting in my shed for a couple years lol. Had to grind a bit off the timing cover bolt sleeves to make it fit but not much.

This completes my electrical upgrades!
