Automan, 1. What are you running for driveshafts? Stock rear drive shaft works, until I get the SYE installed. I changed the front axle to a 44, so I need a custom front shaft. Can't say anything about the front stock shaft. 2. I see you have 4.56's and 33's, happy with the gearing? The only problem is that at 70 mph it eats gas - which I do for over an hour a day. If I had a six speed it would be perfect. Other than on the highway (isn't that bad mind you) it is a lot of fun. If I didn't have that highway commute, I would never even think about the gearing. 3. Anything else needed besides what comes with the kit to complete the lift? Shocks ~ I added the brace and adj. control arms, that may be it?!?. I will update the list if I think of anything I missed. 4. Anything you would change? No, I am 100% sold on the RE set up. I would upgrade to the bigger ZJ sway bar. :cheers: I hope that helps you - Rich

Hey Automan, I have the RE 5.5" kit with 33" tires on my MJ. Check out my build-up page here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8051&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=105= . I have plenty of pictures and information about the install on page 8 above. If you can't get your answers to you questions in there, give me a shout back and I will be happy to help out :cheers: . - Rich

:cheers: Printed them out - TY

Either mine went away with time, or I got used to it?

Rick is dreamy . . . but I got her up to 68% :cheers:

I have friends that say it is slim pickings out there. We had a local Sporting Store go to all the Walmart's in our area and buy up all their ammo. Then they greatly marked up the price :fs1: . Now the area Walmart's sell max 2 per customer.

And by shell you mean Topper :rotfl2: Nice seats. :cheers:

Looks good CW. BTW - You look a heck of a lot healthier in your latest Avatar picture ~ and a bit thinner :thumbsup:

I would like to see a picture, because mine bolts to the bumper ~ not the frame :popcorn: .

You are going to have to sell some of the stuff or you are just going to be in the hole a lot longer. I am glad you are able to help your buddy out - shows you are a decent person. At some time you will need to focus on your own projects and say "maybe after I get my --- done I can lend you a hand on . . ." I also think you are stretched to thin and have lost some perspective. You haven't been yourself since Chico stole your couch in the corner. You could use a little couch time ~ so now go shave one of Chico's eyebrows while he is still passed out on it and reclaim what is yours! :cheers:

Tell the guy you'll take it. Book a road trip to Bush Garden's, or Disney World. If it is relatively close, I could pick it up for you and store it on my MJ until you arrive! Or you could just wait like I did and something will eventually show up in your area.

ALLOWED???!!! :eek: what do you mean ....... :shake: Did I say "allowed?" I meant I might just get one -if the wife doesn't find out - YEAH, Dang Straight!

Everywhere he goes - all the JPers know - goblazers_6 has a toolbox that he loves to show :thumbsup:

Cute - and the birds don't seem scared of him at all :thumbsup:

Oooh, I love it! Wish I was allowed to have one :shake:

I see it!!!! :agree:

Only way you could get me to jump like that would involve a bag of Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the next jug. Impressive Zoo :thumbsup:

Congrats! Please turn the .5 MJ into a Truggy. It looks like it is in fairly good shape. Good deal by the way :cheers:

:agree: Looks great man!

I purchased my first jeep late in life - 26 years old and I still have her ~ in my garage being rebuilt.

I know that 90MJext used the same bumper - I will try to find the page - here it is -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13865. I was thinking of going that way before the PROTOFAB bumper. It looks good Hoo :thumbsup:

I would have killed to have had a jeep project at 16 :cheers: . You are off to an early start in the addiction. I am excited for you ~ have fun and keep us updated on your progress :thumbsup:

VOTE for PEDRO!!!! Good to hear he has made it to the front of the line Did MiNiBeAsT start up his own fab co? I am at work, but I will post up a few pictures of the stock rear bumper for you tonight if nobody has stepped up to the plate by then :cheers: Update from the desk of Drah: Check the projects forum for pictures. I found one on MrSimons thread here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8740 I am sure there are plenty more :clapping:

Speechless ~ good thing I can type and use Smilies :dunce:
