Gave in and decided that snowmobile season was over, so I unloaded the snowmobile and unhooked the trailer that had been hooked to the back of my '99 for the past couple of weeks.

Discovered rodent droppings inside, so I did a quick run through with the shop vac and set a trap.

Yes you did... and you'll love the brown dogs. Best money I've invested on my jeep thus far, I think. Next you should spring for the brackets for peace of mind's sake. I've heard from several that the bolts like to snap off in the block on the factory MM brackets. I'll be doing mine as soon as I can afford the extra... along with a brown dog tranny mount.

If you're going to park it for a while, throw a few dryer sheets in there. Smell is too overwhelming for rodents and bugs.

Wheeled it like I stole it and bent my track bar.

Decided to order the AR767's at http://4wheelonline.com/American_Racing_Wheels.137575 since the shop gave me a fair deal. I also like the red and blue stripes of this wheel.

I can't find it now but I know there was a guy on here running Clayton long arms on a 3.5 inch lift. Also TnT Customs list there LA upgrade compatible with 3.5" to 8" Neither one is as cheap as Frank's thought.

I am only at 3" right now and may gain another 3/4" when I do my shackle relocation brackets. I am going to hopefully get the shackles down this weekend and measure up for the brackets so I can start making them, but I wont be putting them in till I do the SYE. Once I get them in I can figure out just how much lift I have and go from there.

Got the two front wheels sanded down preped and painted!! Had to use a bfh and a big 12 point socket to get the wheel locks off that took way longer than necessary!!

Torqued the bolts on the rear shocks after picking it up from the shop to get the drum self-adjusters replaced. Didn't need pads and drums after all. E-brake actually works now too. They said the adjusters were both frozen solid and not engaging in the least.
