Pulled my transmission for a swap. I'm going to start scrubbing pretty much everything under the jeep, including the new transmission. I've got a t case clocking jig coming in this week that I'd like to use before the transmission goes back in. Then I'll be looking into belly skids, I want to stay low.

Yep. I'll post them in this thread tomorrow morning. Now is a good time to consider doing 2 things.
Moving the vacuum reservoir up under the coolant bottle.
And, eliminating the troublesome CAD system.

I suggest eliminating the cAD stuff as not only is the vacuum stuff unreliable, the moving parts are also. You can get stranded!!

Fuel mileage is not a factor.

I'm in the process of replacing/repainting the interior. (1990 XJ Laredo) I've done the entire headliner, replaced radio, painted the upper trim with bumper paint, and have repainted the roof a desert tan (Krylon camo: khaki). Its turned out rather well. Going to work on the hood next then the other panels.

Default 2" budget boost.

Be prepared for siezed up rear spring eye bolts...had to cut my bolts and also weld nut in in spring bracket baçk on
.roadraje;2798705]Plan on installing the same in my daughters '99, got any tips or things I should know before I do. I watched a tutorial and it seems straightforward, did you use a spring compressor? I looked at the Rustys set-up as well but I'm open to opinions. [/QUOTE]
