Oh man, that sux! That is another reason why I went with the MT/Rs lol, 35% stronger with the kevlar.

Glad to hear it did great tho man. Makes all the blood, sweat, and swear words all worth it doesn't it?

So after Regearing I filled up my tank, and averaged 17.5mpg. And it used to be 11-12mpg.

What gears where you running and what are you running now? I might have to jump up to 4:10s soon


As for your rear coils - Did you notice a big difference in ride quality in city and highway driving? I would almost want to run a rear sway bar by the looks of it.


oh and your jeep is **** amazing.
