We decided to install ZJ springs and a 1" spacer instead of using the 2" budget lift spacer and stock springs, we had on his other xj. surprisingly the front end has much smoother ride to it.

Prepping for a Bastard Pack lift. Got the leafs buffed off and painted. Also installed a new rear hatch, and am doing some body painting/rust prevention. The Jeep is going to look good after everything's finished

Ripped the rest of the carpet out while removing the center console. Started cutting out the rest of the rot on the driver's side and making panels.

Every time I think I've decided, I find something new about one of them
If that was the list I was working with, I'd cut it right between the MT/R-K or the MTZ.

Yesssss. I want to try out the STT Pro's but my MTZ's are still like 85% tread lol. Cooper makes Mickey tires so it's probably similar to the MTZ anyway.

Replaced the rear main seal- what a nasty job!
This after replacing O rings in filter housing and new valve cover & gasket.
Hoping for a leak free Jeep
