I had to order a new axle housing breather tube fitting from the dealer, change the gear oil, and clean/ paint it and it will be ready to go under my heep.
Picking up my tranny and t case next week from a member here and then i need to do an SYE like you do and hopefully that will be ready lol... Lots to do haha

Jake: Only if you paint it
EDIT: Totally forgot the reason why I came here:
-Installed HD offroad shackle relocator
(Three things about these I dislike, 1) my old aftermarket shackles wouldnt fit after shaving most of the bushings off. No big deal since I had JKS ones in the mail, 2)Got the JKS ones in the mail and still had to shave a good amount of bushing off then the third and final the damn bolts HD supplies you dont even fit inside the metal sleeve, at this point I went over the wall with rage luckly I went to Home Depot and they had the same exact bolts but a bit smaller and they fit PERFECTLY! Other than taking me an hour and a half longer than I expected great product, love it!)
-decided to mess with the burnt out light under my hood and found a random light in my garage and it fit!
(Ignore the tank dent lol)

I was thinking about doing the alternator swap from a zj but I'm just trying to get this thing running ASAP for work. As for the con, I wana try to go through all of it but I still need to upgrade it a ton.

You'll be fine marcel, just get that rear shackle angle fixed.
Took her out wheeling tonight and she performed great!(other that a few stutters here and there) I can't believe how badly this thing flexes now with ease. Not needin It any time soon but I'm expecting a locker and definatly bigger tires in the near future.
