Ill let you know how well the Bilstiens work out, but from what I've seen they'll be what I'm looking for.

Oh nice. You must have a winch and such then. Might need some spacers to level it out.

Oh okay, didn't know you already had them. But that's good.

Bilsteins are on back order, so it'll be a few weeks before they get here. Good news though, got my Aussie locker in last night. Everything went smoothly, wasn't too hard to install. Also got a new radiator to replace my stupid leaky one.

And then the TJ pulling the XJ out got stuck so it was like trying to pull them both and this happened...oops. I was pulling from the front hooks to avoid getting stuck trying to turn around to use the hitch. :/ Time to repair that and get some unibody tie ins...

So I got Aussie locker for my rear axle (8.25 29spline) I thought I would do a small review on what I think so far. I like it, I don't think I would've made it very far in that field. The only thing that sucks so far about it is how loud it is. While I don't mind it, others look at me like my Jeep is broken or something lol. It clicks very loud on turns. Other than that driving straight isn't much of a difference. I can heard a small clunk on decel and acceleration.
Anyway here's my Jeep bumperless. Happy Jeepin everyone!

Diggin the bumperless look!


I was wondering how bad the clicking would be with the locker in the rear. I'm still collecting parts for my lift and plan on doing a re-gear and locker at the same time, but I'm seriously considering locking the front and leaving the rear open just to make daily driving more bearable.


So...... since you're sans front bumper, are there any plans for a custom wench bumper?
