My tranny did some weird things this year as well. Wouldn't hold 1st after a good hard hill climb, or yankn the f*** out of somebody or anything out of normal riden really. 98 dodge 1/2 ton trans cooler and re-did tranny lines out of 3/8 hard lines. No rubber lines anywhere in tranny. Didnt have any issues after tht. And FYI I just had a little tiny cooler before tht. With about 3.5 ft of rubber line total, and bypassed the radiator totally
And yes Durango box is a direct bolt in.

Did you bend these up or weld them? I'm going to make some.
Got a link to where you bought them? I'm also looking at rectangular lights.
Just ordered some Rubber ones.

I haven't updated this in a long time. March 10th I got in a crash with a Toyota rav4, he ran a stop sign. My front right tire took most of the impact, which caused my upper control arms to be destroyed, the shock shaft got bent and the seal blew, and the stock axle end LCA brackets to rip off the axle.
The insurance declared it totaled and cut me a check for $2900. I bought the Jeep back for $200 of that, and spent a total of around $600 rebuilding it (including a Hi Lift and a few other tools). New header panel, new unit bearing, new shock (warranty), Rusty's LCA and pass. side UCA brackets, UCAs from a friend, Spicer 760s, and a new Johnny Joint for my track bar.
I was able to take my time rebuilding it since the day of the crash I picked up my Miata (I repainted the front bumper after a week lol), I was actually leaving my bank after getting cash when the crash happened.
And the TruckLite LED headlights are tough. One got a massive gouge in the lens but its still water tight and works perfect.

I also installed my Blue Torch Fab Optima box that I bought at 4 wheel parts two days before the crash. And I thought this was a good location for a sticker that Summit Racing sent me with my Johnny Joint.
And today I got my temp registration and insurance so its finally legal. It rained all day so I proceeded to hydrolock the engine hitting a big puddle a little too hard
she still runs ok though!

My front bumper saved my $300 radiator and probably my optima battery

Finally got to wheel it since being rebuilt. Did great, all the new suspension parts held up great (along with my booger welds holding it together )
Also first time on any rocks with the SSRs, so much better than those baja claws from last summer. They just grab and go at 15 psi.
