the last few days have been heaven for my jeep and full of U PS deliveries every day!

RE 4.5 coils, 3.5 leafs, track bar bracket and adjustable track bar, 8.25 U-bolts, drop pit man arm, and shackles to help correct pinion angle then I have RC braided front brake lines and a rear brake line. I also went with Bilstien 5100's front and back.

I'm researching disconnects to see which I want to buy. I am also still trying to decide on which bump stops. I'm using blue anvil adjustable control arm but may start saving towards long arms as a sort of "Phase 2" of the build.

BUT the main thing is I finally got ONE decent tool to be halfway proud of. Cordless impact and an upgraded lithium battery pack.

Thanks!
It actually wasn't bad. With three guys it probably took less than an hour and a half to get them done from start to finish.

Found a good PCV valve and line at the local junkyard today. The amount of stuff I've gotten off that jeep, I could of bough a part out for less. The old xj has it's transfer case. The mj has it's speedo cable, PCV valve, clock, headlight off delay, headlight switch connector. All for the total that I am sure is more then the part out jeeps I've seen as a hole price.

I've ran the T5 10w-30 for almost two years now and it's been real good. My oil analysis came back very well also

Ratcheted my sisters boyfriend out of this by hand, the truck couldn't go any higher without sliding into the same place, so we backed it out and did it by hand.

Must be nice in the lap of luxury, wish I could do my mods on the beach

Loaded up the heep with t-ball gear and took the kid for his first "practice", funny how they want to run all the time until you tell them to!

PB'd all the suspension components that will be replaced in 2 weeks....the countdown is on
