It's been awhile since I've had a chance to hang out with anyone, so I figured I'd throw up the most recent stuffs.
I threw an 8.8 in the rear of the TJ and regeared to 4.10's. Hindsight being 20\20, I probably would have gone to 4.56's, but whatever. They're mildly better than the 3.73's, I didn't notice a huge difference other than driving to Michigan, ran a few hundred rpm's higher and drank more fuel.
33x12.5 PC Xterrain's mounted on a new set of black teflon AR Chambers. They look nice, I'm really happy with how easy they are to clean the brake dust off. They certainly look a lot better than the Canyon's that I pulled off. I also put on a set of 7" Omix flares. The flares are really nice, I was suprised for how cheap they were. But, they're to wide, especially with the 8.8 in the back making it even narrower.
Planned in the next month;
My AX15 has finally gotten to the point that it's almost not driveable. 1st can be difficult to get into, 2nd is impossible to get into, 3rd and 5th syncro's are completely gone. Reverse and 4th are still good though! Additionally, especially in 1st, if I left off the gas to let the motor do the braking, I get some bad grinding. Same goes if I simply coast in neutral. Anyhow, I'm going to replace it with a NV3550 as soon as I get my hands on one (hopefully this week). While I've got the tranny down and out, I'll throw a new clutch and throwout bearing in. I'm also going to split the case and install a JB super short SYE and a new DS, probably a Woods to rid myself of the vibes that came along with the 8.8 install.
I think I've settled on a set of Rev111 high-fenders w\ 6" flare option. I'm hoping those will cover up the tread. I'm still undecided on rocker protection. Rev111 has some nice rockers, but they're pricey for what you get IMO. Bumpers and tire carrier, winch and building the D30 are going to follow right after that.
Lastly, Tiff and I finally got some pets! Unfortunately, my landlords won't let me have my boxers or my cat here, so they're still with mom. But.. We have 4 new fishes in a 25gal tank to start off with. Eenie, Meenie, Minie and Mo (since they're all identical). They aren't anything special, we got them to cycle the tank. Once the tank cycles, we're going to add a few rainbow's, an angel and a pleco.
Sooo.. That's what's been going on. When is it going to get warm enough to the point that I'm itching to go wheeling?
