Spent $500 at the shop so they could re-seal my transfer case. Let's hope that's the last problem I have for a very long time. Wallet can't take more of this crap.

Drove around, up to Estes Park through the Thompson canyon, total 100 miles on little more than 1/8 tank. When I'm not driving like a maniac, the 99+ intake swap really helped mileage! Though it also gave me more low-end so its hard to help driving it hard

The bad news came on monday, when I took it in to get a front end alignment an a brake check.
Need new steering box and pitman arm. Need new rear brake adjusters (just got all new rear hardware 3 months ago ) and suggest a new steering stabilizer.

And my CEL has been on... which despite my best efforts cannot get any codes.
Get a second shops opinion! I would think that a bad steering box would be noticeable on road...?

Retrimmed my fenders at work with a grinder and cleaned it all up. Then I put door edge trim along the edges to make everything look good. I also undercoated my wheel wells and put my front TJ flares on

Took mine in to the tranny shop to get checked out. When I put the truck in reverse it makes a weird sound and lowers the jeep. Kind of feels like its getting pulled. Hopefully its not the tranny will keep u posted.
