    DONE!

    I also added a leaf to the front springs to level it out a bit. I love how it looks.

    hubs are unlocked and in 2wd, so no different than before. However, we'll see this weekend how it does in 4L, regardless I'm sure hydro-assist will be in the future.

    Glad you washed it or it least it looks like you did... Good thing, because spring creek isn't dirty at all.

    not really, it isn't horrible, about what would be expected for eye-balling a driveway alignment.

    It won't be that bad to steer with 35's, that is what I have.

    Well, everyone else is making a list, so...

    - re-bleed brakes
    - check all fluids
    - shorten spare cv drieshaft

    Installed a hand throttle and got it working right. However, created a bigger problem for myself.

    Took the throttle body off to fix the idle adjustment screw and install/modify if for the hand throttle. When I did this I unknowingly introduced coolant into the upper intake plenum. I didn't know this but the throttle body attaches to the EGR plate which has coolant lines passing through, so when I seperated the two I dumped a good amount of fluid down the intake.

    So needly to say when I turned the jeep over it locked up. Took the plugs out, cycled the sh*t out. Had to do it twice and replace the tbi to egr gasket. Waiting for the battery to charge (unknowenly left the lights on last night) to see if it'll start and if I did any damage.

    Got it running again after cranking it for 25-20 seconds, it sounds fine but makes an a$$ load of smoke. I'll let it idle for 30min or so to hopefully work all the residual coolant out of the system.
