Noticeably more power and for me better idle quality.

Went out to work on fixin stuff (I'm sure I'll find something that needs attention) but my dog, Ramsey, had other plans. So we went for a ride around the lake and barked at joggers.

Finally rebuilt my double cardan rear driveshaft with a new socket yoke. It got rid of the driveline slop, but I think it needs balancing now.

Thursday I got new tires and an alignment.

Today I installed

Installed JK wrangler shocks. Was a bit of a pain. But its done. (One of my IRO BPEs broke and its not covered under warranty...)

Oil change.

New break pads and rotors.

And

New heater valve seeing it just randomly decided to break for no apparently reason and because it did it while I was driving. I basically did a coolant flush. Had to fix all that on the side of the road.
So new coolant too.

Threw some sparks, cut up the parts bumper to transfer to my orignal bumper. Tomorrow I'll cut out the spots, weld in the new parts then drop it all of at the powder coaters. Then to track down a spare ravine and 31 to carry.

Should be good for another 175,000 miles now...

The rears were probably replaced at some point (GM part #), you can see they actually still had a little bit of return in them compared to the fronts (off the jeep, certainly not on it!)
