I’m just stuck atm because I actually have both the mml and a TC drop because I passed on the mml when trying to install it we were running into having to take the alternator out etc and such and I bought the TC drop impulsively because I was so tired of the vibrations so I’m stuck with both, it’s a 1.5 drop and I never wanted to do it, but it wont look too bad I guess

I used 1in squat tubing and six grade 8 bolts. Washers would have worked but I think it looks better. My issue now is having trouble getting into 2nd and reverse. It's hitting the console

Nice pics.....but I was wondering how you banana board leaning up against you front wheel did on that terrain ?
Every jeep is different. This is important to remember.
But it did all me to remove all my drop. I had 1in drop before the Replacement.
Specs.
97 sport 4.0 AX-15 tranny. 231 transfer case. I removed my transfer case drop and have had no vibration.
Lift sits as of now about 3-4 inches.

Maybe. I still have just a touch of vibs from about 42-45 mph on acceleration. At a minimum you will be able to reduce the tcase drop.
Installed one (1), I repeat one Wild Boar grab bar today, as I was pressed for time.
Very happy with this item, very solid. Though I'm not happy about having to do some extensive cutting of the interior frame molding to install the bar (nothing was said of such requirement in the product lit or customer reviews). But, no big deal, I've gotten over it. Function-over-Form.
I believe these bars to be critical when rapidly fleeing a hot-zone after a night op, while evading enemy fire, on the run, and when you only have like 0.05 seconds to make a grab--and that grab has to work.

Did a little surgery to get my blower switch swapped out. Have all speeds again.
Ordered a small powered sub to drop in the console to replace the garbage, nonfunctional factory sub.

Update on my roof situation. Bestop is sending me a new top piece and all new windows. Really, really great customer service on their part. Their support agreed that there must be something wrong with my top as it is just too far from zipping up to right.
I'm very impressed with bestop. I ordered the top nearly two years ago but they were still extremely helpful. I always like dealing with companies that will help you out if something goes wrong. Hoping my new top works better!

You will be really happy when you get your 4.56 gears.
Yea and Amen to that.
The day I went from 3:07 to 4:56, was akin to the day I had my first Lone Star.
Did you treat the inside of your frame with Eastwood? If so, how many cans did you need. I'm planning that project for the spring. Thanks.
yes, I first did it last winter & I think I used 5 cans total. Then over the course of the spring I accidentally damaged some of it by inserting the tip of the self-car wash pressure washer in the large round holes to flush the rails a bunch of times so I had to redo the entry points. It was during that process that I decided to take a closer look at the rear section, ended up redoing that section too so another 2 cans went in this round.
You can probably do the entire frame with 3 or 4 cans provided you get good coverage, I'd suggest the coat hanger method to keep that tip under control. In fact take a look at this whole thread for some general ideas:
