lol, perhaps. I'd rather do the 4x4 swap first, I don't think it would be too bad to wheel at stock height and 4x4. I was driving around in the woods and it's kinda fun being in 2wd and stock height. It makes stuff that much more fun... and stupidly hard.

On the plus side, now that I'm probably going to stick with it... I can do some of the **** that I wasn't originally going to do (due to tanking the resale value), like bedlining the interior.

i suprised my self quite a bit at how far i could get in 2wd with a locker in the rear. i only got stuck once in some rough rocks.

lock the reaer and youll be good for a while. being locked out back is a tremendous help

If you'll take a LP 30 I got one for ya I think. Depends on what size tire you want to run really, it'll be fine

This is coming from someone who had a 2wd XJ and who never thought it would be 4wd or on 35's lol.

To-Do:
  • gear oil
  • detail engine bay
  • wash, clay bar, wax
  • pull carpets and pressure wash
  • motor mounts (brown dog rubber)
  • trans mounts (??? I don't even know what brand is good... again, want to go with rubber. More concerned with not having vibrations.)
  • up/downstream o2 sensors
  • possibly replace cat? likely not.
  • work on pulling fender out
  • keep my eyes out for some stuff (d30, 231, aw4, s-10 leaf packs)

Reposting this for my own use, now that we have strikethrough BBcode.

Unnecessary '96 Build Thread-rfu7eto.jpg

How the hell did I even manage to get dirty there?

This is the upstream sensor, the one that was throwing a code... Came out nice and easy.

The downstream is still inside the Jeep because it wouldn't GTFO. I got it backed out about half a turn and then it stuck on me... I dunno if I should head back out and try and force it out or what. I just got done driving 30 minutes so it should be nice and hot.

Makes my hand look tiny...



Mainly because they are tiny, though...

Now I'm just waiting for my dad to get home... when my sensors came in the mail he put them in his truck, thinking he was going to bring them to me up at school.

I am about to do that same replacement. I don't have a code for upstream sensor, but the ODBII tests are failing for it, and I do believe I could get better gas mileage. I did attempt to remove it the one night, but it was cold and I wasn't using the box end of the wrench, and was a bit afraid to cut the wires just yet because I was going to drive it the next day. LOL
