Well got take the wins when they come. That is crazy she tested positive and beat it, good for her! I worked as a equipment person for a hospice company years ago. We had a handful of people that would get discharged off more often than you would think. It is just as you said they met the criteria get placed in care, some additional nursing, etc and either no longer qualify or keep deteriorating. I remember we had one lady that was on and off hospice for years.

I run the mammoths on my WJ. I like them. Got a killer deal so big reason I went with them.

Tranny, t case, front axle and few other things (cross members, shifter, etc). Axles best years are 98-99 because of non cad, better u joints and 29 spline 8.25 (if you swap the rear which i would because of the turdy5). Tranny ax15 is going to be the best bet but more expensive and sometimes a little tougher to find ax5 works as well. Tcase either a 231 or 242.

Sweet! Interested in more about the rear rad setup. I eventually want to dove nose mine and had thought about relocating the rad. How does it do? Any tips?

I'm new to the interwebs...... I'm not a fan of the JK/JL wheels at all. IMHO the offset just looks ugly. (Not bashing the rest of the truck, I dig it, just wheels don't do it for me) Those performance wheels would look good. Old TJ rubi moab wheels look great. Probably the only stock wheel I'd run.

You thinking off this one?

I guess a few things..... First, engine should be about 2.5-3k to rebuild with R&R. last one I had rebuilt on my XJ was 2k, but the guy I use has been good about giving me solid prices. 4.0s are cheap to rebuild and not difficult at all to pull. If you plan on swapping in all new accessories (stater, alternator, steering, etc) factor maybe another 5-700 for that. As for the rest why are you "replacing" the engine bay? No offense but that's a massive waste of cash. Unless they are going to swap in NOS parts from a 98 or 99 with a rebuild you're not coming out ahead.

Waggy has a 44. I have that in my current rig. Honestly at 33s though a 8.25 is the best choice IMHO. You can source the rest of the 4wd swap (assuming that's what you were doing) from a 98 to 99 Cherokee. You get the front and rear axle setup along with transfer case. All you would have to do for the rear axle is move the rear perchs spring under. Pretty easy to do if you have a buddy that's a welder. As for the cost to regear it can vary. If you're lucky enough to find someone local Jeep group that knows how to do it they might only charge you a couple hundred bucks for labor shop will be about double. Beyond that you'd have to add in a new carrier/traction device, gears and an install kit that include bearings.

Yep I remember. So how long before you come back to the light?!

Just looks like a solid wax job might do the trick. I'm use chemical guys on my wife's gx 460 and my old X5. https://www.chemicalguys.com/exterior/detail-and-polish/cutting-and-polishing/ If not you may need to wet sand and build it back up. Doesnt seem that the clear is gone just lost its luster.

Time for some summer time skanin!

Cool thanks for the info

I worked from home for a bit but returned to the office FT two weeks ago and it's been non stop madness ever since. Hospital OR's are booked through June already. Most of my team is back on site. Being in leadership it's hard to manage being remote

Solid tierod and move on. Or https://www.stinkyfab.com/collections/xj-steering/products/premium-1-ton-steering-kits-jeep-xj-mj-tj-zj

Stinkyfab or ironman4x4 are you're best bet IMHO. IRO makes a decent kit for the money. I have a cavfab on the MJ but was on there from before and I haven't wheeled on it. Sucks it's only the 1 piece cross member and the upper bolt interferes with the gas lines. Dirtbound, core few others have kits too. If you're up to it you could fab up something especially if you link the rear.

Looks like a pufferfish on the right....

Nope have to join.

Yeah agree with gogmorgo. Look for 98-99 axles. Rest are a waste to swap IMHO.

Got this one from Outerrange. Super tasty. Definitely one I'm bookmarking for future selections.

Well other than spamming us what type of beer you drink? Unless you're under 18..... got a favorite juice box flavor?

My WJ, although after it taking dump and me being sick of working on a daily I'l probably get a civic or scion xB soon. Need something with 4 doors I don't have to work on as much as a jeep......

I don't have a picture but this is from Limejeepers build. Basically there is no seal around it and there is a slight gap about 1/4 in between it and the body. It just doesn't sit flush. You'd have to put a bead of silicone around it to prevent water from just sitting. I did have a temporary one piece window in there but preferred the slider because that was the only way to get some airflow in that hot box of a cab.

Just wondering how much you ended up spending on this? I'm was looking at a THOR intake for the MJ because I need to relocate the airbox when I dove nose it.

Haha, yeah you had what 8? Yep, this one is perfect for what I was looking for. He put a lot of solid work into already. Be nice to tinker on for a bit.
