no prob, looks like a really nice kit! I think you can have it on amazon for less, don't quote me on that. I'm going of a distant memory.

I plugged in the code reader expecting to see the check engine light on for the vss (which i knew wasnt connected). Well it was for the o2 sensor as well. Makes sense. The sensor is soaked in oil. First the radiator, now then o2 (within this week). Whats next?

Default SYE

I was looking at the re 4.5 long arm kit, but two of my friends have the 5.5 long arm kit and the iro flexes about the same as theirs with less lift. Im not opposed to ordering a better kit, just want to hear why you don't like the iro kit. Thanks
You may not want to run a SYE but you have about a 80percent chance you will have to.. I did a 3 inch lift and now have drive line vibration.. some have only restored factory ride height and have to install one. Just warning you ahead of time..

Default PUT in a double battery system

Put in a new double battery system,
changed out the air intake system to make room for the new battery
sort of pieced together a new intake system from various parts

Wired the system together and

WOW!!!!!!!

It all seems to be working as it is supposed to.

Used the plate adapter and battery tray from DIRTBOUND OFFROAD

Did a 249 to 242 tcase swap last night. That last bolt wasnt nearly as hard as some people have claimed, I just found a short 9/16 wrench. All told, took just under 2.5 hrs to do, including doughnuts to confirm 2wd was working properly
