Pull a part blessed me today.

I got a full gauge cluster, 2 center console lids, a new set of corners and markers, 1 headlight bezel (only one good one) and a new grille for $60. Sanded down the bezel and grille and painted them black. The other bezel is cracked, so I'm just gonna order a brand new one.

I still want a 97+ swap. But when I say swap I mean sell mine and buy a 97+.

Yours is red and shiny. Mines cracked and clear coat coming off. Tim maybe I'll slap that 10 slot on it and then fall in love.

Painted diff covers, got leaf springs in, then a friend showed up and we got the rear shocks in. (****ing ******* PO drilled out the nuts and bolts instead of punching them out, wasn't until I got to the passenger side and could fit my hand in there that I realized that the original nut was still in there! 1.5" bolt couldn't be fished through, 1" was just too short to thread onto with the bar pin there. Ended up gripping the bolt with forceps lol) Bolted the front axle to the UCAs and started on one of the RE SuperFlex LCAs.

Lift should be done tomorrow

Agreed. I love the look of the JK Moabs too.... Still want to find a set for mine. Are you on stock axles with adapters or something else?

Why Fram exactly? I know it's popular but there's much better options for the same cost
