so far i've only wheeled it once and i have no complaints. my only concern is that its been on almost 2 years now and its settled at 5". im not complaining about the height. im just worried about my driveshaft. if you're gonna go with the RE 3.5 invest in some transfer drop plates. i wouldn't go sye just yet. you will need to relocate your trackbar. but nothing but satisfaction from this RE customer.
update on the jeep. got the motor running and took it down the road for a test drive. did great except for sounding like a tractor haha (exhaust wasnt bolted to the pipe) parked it in the driveway like a normal vehicle and im goin back tomorrow to double check everything and hopefully drive her home. will get pics as soon as i figure out how to get em off my phone.

update on the jeep. on the test drive after getting the motor in and running. i noticed a little coolant leak. didnt think too much of it. drove it home the following weekend.....head gasket was blown. i called the guy i got the motor from and he said no warranties or refunds but had plenty more motors i could buy.
so here i am doin a head gasket. pulled the head off yesterday and cleaned everything up today. hopefully going on tomorrow pending help and lighting.
damn i need my own shop.

Got an update. Got her running. Replaced the ground cable and the battery. Replaced both front window regs. Fixed the bead on my flat 33 and am awaiting a title transfer to get tags and insurance. And the county I'm in doesn't require emissions so the cel doesn't matter. Buying a ruff stuff rear diff cover to stop my rubber plug from leaking. And planning on a Aussie lunch box locker.

My diff cover came in today. But my wife says I can't open it til Christmas. Tried to make the argument that the bolts or the stickers might have fallen out Cruz the box looked like it had been through hell and had tape wrapped all around it. But she said I would have to wait to see.
