Thanks! And congrats to you too!!!!
For all the baby mods, I went to All Things Jeep. The only that I didnt' get was the Khaki diaper bag which would have matched my WK perfect. I ended up finding a black Jeep diaper bag at WalMart of all places.
we have the Jeep Liberty Limited Stroller which has a spot for an IPOD, both my wife & kids love that. I love that it comes with big tires for her to go over items with it & the kids are fine in it. Wife thought I was crazy when I got it, but she loves it!
^Yes sir I have the same stroller. I'm hoping that I can use it when I run. (I know it;s not a jogging stroller but it's not far from it). I just need to take pics of all the Jeep baby mods I have and make a new thread so others can throw theirs up in there, lol.
Been a while since I updated this bad boy.

Order the Hypertech Speedo Calibrator from Summit. Should be here next week. I plan to do a 3.73 gear swap soon. I already have the gears but I need more parts. I plan on doing a few more upgrades while I have everything tore apart.
Gear swap plan:
- Find a rear axle out of another WK/XK. I really want the axle out of an SRT but if I can't find one cheap enough, I'll stick with the 8.25.
- Install rear axle/3.73 gears.
- Put locker in rear.
- Install rear adjustable track bar from Rusty's.
- Of course new rear brake pads.
- For the front, I have the gears already installed in a carrier. So that's taken care of.
- Probably upgrade to new CV axles. It's according to how much the cost would be.
- Upgrade a few bushings on the front since a few of them are completely shot.
- Use the Hypertech to recalibrate
- Test drive it. On the road and then at URE.
- Drink cold beverage and pass out in the hammock.
Doesn't sound too bad does it?
I approve of that plan!
Oh yea I forgot. I'll probably get soem OME HD rear springs so I can get rid of the 2" pucks back there.
Sounds like a good plan to me!
Blah, change of plans for regearing as of currently. Shop says that they dont' regear IFS because once the pumpkin has been rebuilt, they have a hard time making the bearings last. Oh well, I'll find another way.
Anyway, I have a few things to do around the house and garage that needs the regear money. I will attack the regearing sometime in the winter.
