It test run went pretty well. I need new rear shocks and a few other minor things to change but it works well.

Decided to go with the aem piggyback to tune the jeep. It's a ton of wires to figure out but I will get it figured out.

Bought this Trans cooler and decided that it would make a good power steering cooler.

Just incase anyone is still following this the jeep has been working pretty well. I took it to gilbert mn over the 4th of july and managed to rip a chunk of the casting and the upper control arm mount off of the drivers side and broke a window. I fixed the control arm mount and reworked the front fenders to get some more uptravel before I took it to the badlands last month.

The plan for this winter is to cut the rocksliders off and replace them with 2X6 sliders that will be going in place of the rockers and some mini boatsides. I also plan to rework the rear shocks and build shock towers for them.
