overall not too bad.

Next is to get the gears and lockers ordered on Friday
4.88's and OX front and rear :)
more pics and info when I can get them in :)

[korisu56]

that's gonna be awesome. Tell me how you like the ox lockers, as those are gonna be my choice (I think)

[84jeepjohn]

LOL oops I guess this should have been in the pics area thanks for moving it ;)
yeah I can NOT wait.
My neighbor convinced me to go with the 4.88's He just did 5.13's in his rubi (very NICE jeep) and I was going to do a tru trac in front but I forgot about my clothing alowence LOL (who really waits ALL year for this to buy uniforms?) so I figured I'd just do OX's on both ends for the best of DD and off road

[korisu56]

Exactly my reason for choosing those.

Exactly my reason for choosing those.
Believe me I'd rather route SMALL air lines that can be ANY LENGTH instead of these cables, but I'm afraid of possible air leaks, and I like the manual operation of the OX too (and the dif covers are NICE TOO)

i like the shackle reversal on the front, does that help ya alot with bumpsteer?

I've got a drop pitman arm and the drag link is almost parallel with the tie rod... I've never had a problem with it... and the ride is much nicer :) and personaly I LOVE the slight nose dive you get when breaking LOL

Going over the lip on that ramp was SMOOTH, before the SRS it would have been WAY rougher

I was trying to make sure SF was not around when I was doing it LMAO.. I know the guys from the auto hobby shop use it, but I could just see SF getting pissed at me :)

I'm still trying to finde a good place to compress the pass front, so I can try to measure for my new front DS

go down to the trans yard and talk someone down there into lifting the front passenger tire up on a fork lift.
