You know your right I did forget you have to use wheel spacers if you run the 8.8 in the rear. Good thought completely slipped my mind :p

The only thing I don't like is the fact that he went with the Dana 44 as an upgraded re axle, I'm upgrading my re axle (like I have) I'm doing the ford 8.8 with disk breaks, it's silly not to. And 6.5" lift with 33"? Come one 35's or run a 4.5" lift lol Siill i'm drooling over this truck wish I wasent trying to buy a house :p

Does any one know if this guy has a build page on here? It looks to be an extremely well built truck I know I'd be an honor to own it. http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/5122203070.html

Last time I'll see her, was a fun time hope to get back into the MJ world again some time. Brandon

Sorry no updates other then I will be putting the truck up for sale shortly. it is sitting on very used 33" cooper tires, does run but will need a trailer. Sad way to end but life caught up to me and need to move on. One day i'll have another MJ but now's not the time. Enjoyed all the time together I'm sure ill be back. Brandon

Looking for a 10k+ winch preferably a warn in Florida will pay for shipping or will drive. I'm not on here very often so call/text 8137134508 if you have one, thanks! Brandon

If you email Jeep with your vin they will send backs build sheet Brandon

And not always 4x4 Brandon

Ok thanks for the info, the psi has been fine the cracks are very fine but since you said that Eagle I decided to email Cooper this is what I got: Thank you for your inquiry. Cooper products are backed by a workmanship and materials warranty that our independent tire dealers administer on a regular basis. You must be the original purchaser of the tires. Any tire that is deemed to have an eligible adjustable condition as determined by one of our independent tire dealers shall be processed according to the terms of the Cooper Warranty Program. Our independent tire dealers make the determination on what qualifies as an eligible adjustable condition, and handle all warranty returns. Cooper tires are guaranteed for four (4) years from date of manufacture for a weather checking condition. If you suspect this condition exists on your tires, please take them to your nearest dealer for inspection and possible warranty coverage. Also, if you happen to use any tire shine products, most of them contain petroleum distillates and are not acceptable on rubber products. The Rubber Manufacturers Association [RMA] states that "Treating tires with dressings or incompatible cleaning agents can cause ozone cracking or weather checking". Not sure if sitting would count under warranty but there's a tire place in town that was in there list of dealers, so I'll stop by there and see what they think. Thanks again for the information Brandon

Grey would be nice :) Brandon

Very nice keep the updates coming :) Brandon

Started to put the in sides back together and found out that one of the door panels got messed up... Also looking for a bench to replace the buckets. Thought I would like them but after sitting in both I miss the bench. And last but not least went to cover up the tires to keep them from rotting and found out 33" of tire won't fit into the dinky trash bags I got. On a side note I got around to putting x-mess lights on the convertible today :P Brandon

And no the xj ones will not work Brandon

As a last resort there has been some to use a dodge gas tank as a replacement which would fix the miss reading gauge. Here's a helpful link http://comancheclub.com/topic/24894-dakota-gas-tank/ Brandon

Welcome to it all and good luck on finding a good truck! Brandon

Dana 35 is the less desirable rear end for these trucks or any jeeps for that. I know the $ you put into this was a lot but you have to understand your cutting your loss not selling an investment. Down here in FL that truck depending on rust that is, if you can get it to run ok for the test drive $1,000 low 1,500 med, and 2,000 on the high side. More then not your going to sell this not to a jeep guy but some high school kid looking for his first truck or a "project". These are not desirable meaning they sadly don't have the following of the wranglers and what not there just old trucks that not many people know much about. Good luck on the sale sorry to break it to you. Hope she go's to a good home :D Brandon

Yeah I know I know, thanks to a job change I no longer have to impress people with what I'm driving or drive 100+ miles a day I'll be doing something with it to get it on the road. School just ended for the month so it's time to get busy! Brandon

Been a while side I've been on here and I have to say I like it! Def different tho like idk how to do the smileys off my phone? But I'm sure I'll figure it out if I look for it. Thanks for all the trouble! Brandon

Nice real nice Brandon

Any tips or tricks on how to prevent tire rot? The jeep has been sitting since last december with the tires mounted on, a few months after that I realized it might be a bit before she gets back on the road and put the truck on jack stands to keep from flat spotting the tires. Now my dad clued me in that the tires are starting to show lite signs of cracking near where the tire meets the rim. Is there any thing I can do to prevent this? There so "new" they still have the nipples on them and blue on the white walls. Thanks to a recent job change I will be able to start getting it ready to be back on the road but still won't be until summer before I can sell my car and get it back. Thanks for any and all help on this and will do any thing I can ASAP as not to lose them. On a side note what happend to the forum? Look nice :D

It didn't come in side ways did it? I'm doing this on my phone :hateputers: Brandon

Friend of mine has gotten me into this show and have been watching it on netflix and saw this tonight. Here's the video I made :cheers: Brandon

Nice pics and great build! Love it all keep it up :cheers: Brandon

Put another new starter in today then started her... Been about a year runs great still leaks like a Siv so un drivable. Going to put the interior back together next weekend might do the rear main then also. Brandon :popcorn:
