What kills me is when we have the weather like we have the last couple weeks and jeeps still have tops on. this is as good as it gets in texas! May as well buy a liberty or commander instead of a 4 door JK.

Well, the **** never ends with this thing. When I got the Heep back I noticed that she had started to have some harder shifts, even some minor slipping following the 2-3 shift when under power.
Figured it was time for a transmission flush today. I found some fine brass shavings in the fluid... Looks like I'll be milking what I can out of it...
I just had the transmission rebuilt 70k miles ago too.

SHUT UP AND WHEEL
Sorry guys, still more soft-core upgrade bull****
Installed my front Currie upper and lower short arms with Johny-Joints on each side.
I've had these laying in my apartment since early September. I can't believe I waited so long to install these things. Probably took less than 3 hours for all four, including drilling out the mounts. My Jeep feels at least 50% less sketchy than before. The steering is so much tighter, less buffeting in the wheel, it even rides better.
I'll put some pictures up of how ****ed my stock control arms and bushings were later.
I delayed the purchasing Juniors HP30 re-gearing of my axles to save for the my impending transmission failure. I think she will last at least a few more months, as long as I keep babying her.
Before Clayton I am hoping to get these done:
- Buy Aussie/spare parts from Tate
- Install Aussie
- Extended my front shock mounts (ford shock mounts, $20)
- Out board the rear shocks (ford shock mounts, $20)
- 12" travel shocks
- Front extended brake lines

-I've got some 12" OME nitro-sport shocks in.
-Transmission is fixed.
-Front differential is F'ed and the pinion seal is crap. I need to find an HPD30 to swap in pretty quickly.

- Money
- weight
- over-kill
- simplicity
- lack of fabrication skillz
- ground clearance
My Jeep probably makes around 100whp, weighs some where around 3600 lbs, and runs 33"s.
One day. but for now, no.
