Well, its been a little while since I've updated but, I did document it. So, lately, I've replaced my heater valve. The other things I did were, painted some extra rims that I had, ripped off some of the old ugly chrome trim, them painted the rocker panels with bedliner.

Oh, I also replaced the front and rear differential seals/gaskets, and when I went to do the transfer case chain, it was in great shape so I just drained it and replaced all the fluid. I also replaced the a/c seals and o rings.

So, on the old, CL I found some lift parts... including, rancho 3" lift springs, 2" spacers, JK sway bar with quick discos, and then I bought some dakota rear springs from a JY. With a block in the back, and some new shocks, I should have somewhere between 4-5" of lift. (plus tires)

Don't throw a large amount of money at a paint job if you plan on wheeling it hard. Not worth it, IMHO, so I voted for tan...go figure!! LOL!!
