Right on. I'll be back in town oct. 14'th for a week then I go back to work, so if you decide you need something soon you'll have to get it between the 14'th-20'th.
I've been looking at LA kits, considering RE 5.5-ish kit or the full traction 6" system that has a true 4 link front. And opinions on which would be better for me? Most my wheeling is mud/trails, not many rocks to crawl on up here. The only time the jeeps driven on the road is to and from the trail..
Now that I have a good running spare 4.0... Ideas of a stroker are running threw my head..

I've been planning on doing 3-link in the front of one for some time. A 4-link wouldn't be bad. My biggest complaint about a lot of the long arm lifts in the use of radius arms. I've seen a good bit I radius arms bind easily.
On a side note. I got a lot of my interior cleaned up. Looks like I will be looking into a new headliner or reupholster mine.

I have not worked on my jeep lately. Trying to finish "pimp'n" out my 95 gmc, getting sleds ready for winter and planning a build for a old 1970 gmc, so there hasn't been much time for the jeep.
Just need to install the roll pan and then paint it and ill be happy with this truck.

To bad I'm at work now and can't work on it! I plan on ordering some front end parts and a sye before I go home in about 3 weeks. Already have a Xj front DS and with 220k miles I figure my tcase is probably due for a new chain, bearings and seals anyways.

No title, and its a automatic..
My orange one was pretty clean when I started. They just get beat up from wheel'n over time.
I have been on the lookout for a 2 door 97+ with a 4.0 5speed to build when this is done. They are pretty much impossible to find up here though.
