Oh I totally forgot about the weak steering box brace/attachment. Pickup a MORE steering brace before you pull the box off the unibody, it's only about $50 from quatratec. It holds the box to the unibody from the passenger side, while the 3 bolts and questionable spacer hold it to the drivers side.
Will do, Ill look into it. I like the AJs offroad sliders, they are $260 bare metal before shipping which I think is a deal. Im just trying to figure out what to do, I dont think I have an LSD 8.25 as I guess its not common and would mean Id have 3.73. I have to lift it up and turn the wheels to see what happens.
I think doing a rear lunch box is a good ideal as well, but not sure I want to spend $800+ on a selectable locker.. Decisions decisions!!

First weekend with it, what did you do?!
I set up an appointment with 4wheelparts to do ujoints, diff service and make adjustments. I say adjustments cause we put on the lift and the guy went over the whole Jeep with me, really nice cool guy. I didnt know much about it so it was very informative. Turns out I have adjustable control arms, track bar and drop pitman arm, things I was concerned about that was causing vibes we eliminated. Adam and I determined I have a hack and tap sye kit which isnt ideal but gets the job done. The guy said everything looks to be done right as far as the lift goes, no lift blocks or spacers. So Friday it goes in for the ujoints and diff service, they are going to let me see wahts in the diffs, I have no clue cause the guy I got it from bought it the way it is.
So i did the normal things, plugs wires cap and rotor as well as new air filter. Cleaned up the engine bay to look for leaks and to my surprise nothing concerning. Im going to get new headlights, really considering the LED ones, although pricey Ive seen them on an XJ at 4WP and they're pretty nice. Once I get services done I have to figure out which direction to go first, rear locker? Sliders? Skids? etc..

That would be pretty badass but Im not in a position to cut up the front and do custom work, no garage, tools in storage etc.. Im upgrading to h4 conversion lights, just ordered them today to help with output cause these suck!

Got her cleaned up a bit today during lunch...
I ordered the Rampage H4 conversion headlights to get rid of these pathetic excuse for lights and angry eyes. Scheduled to get drive shaft ujoints and 4wd service at 4wheelparts. They only charge $50 for the 4wd service and they go through quite a bit, wish I had a garage to this myself. I've made my decision on ajsoffroad sliders after all the reviews and going to do the rear quarter panels with grab bar, I've always liked the look. Jacob I know you said you haven't even scratched your skids but its cheap insurance so engine, trans and tcase will be covered soon.. I'll post links of this stuff when I get back on my computer
