Getting the jeep back tomorrow for Pro Built!!! Turns out the stock in radiator trans cooler was a bit backed up preventing proper cooling which destroyed the 3rd trans lol this is not a cheap game to play!!! 35s should go on friday!!

You should install a remote transmission filter on there. Also a drain plug on the tranny pan. That would make keeping the fluid changed and clean a breeze!

Thanks guys it should work out awesome although Im not to sure about how Im going to make the IRO front 3 link work on a HP44 but Ill figure it out. The rear long arm setup is going to be a double tri with a nice truss for my 9". I picked up my 4.88s and spool for the 9" and 44 last week now I just need to decide on a front locker for it and Ill have almost everything I need.

So Im really concidering going clayton front I called Chase at ECGS who is a Claytons dealer and talked about it with him and for a few hundred more than just ordering the IRO compete kit I can have all the IRO parts minus the cross member and long arms then get the Claytons from him. I really think I might do this since I would have to hack up the IRO Y link to make it work.

I took the wife and her friend Jamie out wheeling this weekend at Uwharrie and finally got my wife behind the wheel on the same spot UTchavok flopped on haha she did great aside from getting hung up on the skid but after I got us off it she kept going up the trail to the play area at kodak. Damage for the weekend is a very bent passenger side LCA mount.

Here is a vid of the wifes first time wheeling itsa good laugh at about 3/4 through it
