Replaced my u-joints on my rear driveshaft, replaced a broken spring on my passenger seat, replaced an o-ring for the speedo sensor in my t-case I believe was leaking. Unbelievably happy with it!

Finally got around to converting to rear disc brakes. Love being able to lock up all four wheels!

Got my hands on some gasket material, so I'm finished with my intake swap. Gotta buy a new coolant hose in the morning and put the air filter box back in it, then I'm going wheeling to test it out. Cant wait to see how much better it does locked
Too bad the coolant hoses on the MJ aren't the same as on my XJ, or I'd finish it right now.

I replaced my stock upper control arms with Teraflex adjustable arms , Replaced the upper axle mount bushings Removed my new Iro tierod that I installed lastnight because I destroyed it by cross threading the tierod ends that had screwed up threads from the stock tierod sleeve. I ordered a new IRO tierod and new tierod ends. That should arrive on Tuesday (next day air shipping ) So I can button it up and my wife will have it for work on Wednesday morning.

And tomorrow I will be replacing the last component of the previous owners lift by replacing the Tuff country fixed lower control arms with teraflex adjustable lowers.

I show up and the kid is 16 and jeep is pretty beat up from the bush but kid tells me it runs but they ripped the gas line while playing in bushes. (jeep was sitting half way in a ditch)
I'm halfway taking the manifold off and kid says "its going to be very loud now isn't it?"
I paused....... (looking for an answer that wont insult him). " Nope, it won't get any louder...". Paid the $50 and left.

True story
Was he expecting to drive it home without the intake manifold attached??
