    Our faces got real hot real quick. It really wasn’t that cold so we didn’t use it more than 5 min.

    Looks awesome. Can't wait to go myself.

    Replaced upper control arms and ball joints this weekend. Also mounted my flag and "quick release" which isn't so quick, but whatever. Only thing left now is packing, and some more planning.

    Alignment this morning also, all green with stock arms. :cool:

    Yeah they’re fuel wheels and we all know mall jeeps love those so they shouldn’t be a hard flip plus I’m going to be selling my 33’s and that should cover the cost

    Mine was the worst. Made me realize how little power my poor little 3.4 has.

    But the front locker is beautiful

    Do the ABS disable, turns all that shit off. I did it with a relay interrupting one of the ABS wires, you basically cut the ABS wire and reroute it so it goes through the relay normally uninterrupted, then with a momentary switch break the circuit for a second. You have to restart the truck to get it back on. I wired mine to the rear wiper squirter switch on the wiper stalk since I don't use the rear wiper anymore. Works much better than the VSC disable done with grounding one of the CPU wires.

    You can kind of see whats going on here, the relay attached to the fender well, and wires running to where the washer bottle was.

    Honestly mine has zero problems going up hill I even haul an 18’ ski boat in the summer and I don’t feel it behind my runner, maybe mine is regeared already by the previous owner? It runs damn good.

    Yeah I love mine it’s never seemed underpowered to me and always had extra when I needed it. But mine does get pretty terrible gas mileage lol but that’s going off the dash with no account for the larger tires

    I fly out late Thursday out of LAX so that won’t work for me. I’ll have to bring the runner down one trip and force you to meet a dude off the internet that you don’t know.
