$20 more. What’s @DrDmoney offer? I’m afraid I could never ever sell. I just have moments of frustration. Then all is nirvana.
Got the wires and sensors and everything back on the tranny. Filled it with 1.5qt of fluid. I was using Redline MTL. This time I tried Royal Purple Synchromax. Got the lower boot and console all cleaned up and back together. After double checking everything, I cranked the Jeep up and ran through the gears. Foot pressure on clutch feels the same. Everything was smoooth, no squealing. After reaching engine running temp, I changed the oil and filter with the conventional high mileage stuff. Then I used my hole saw to make a makeshift platform for tapping the front outer seal into the TCase. On Saturday I’ll get the outer seal and tap it in.
Pics or it didn’t happen.

If you love it, you’ll make the time. I think it’s one of those things that’s a make it break it for being a Jeep person.
Paint booth for the tailgate armor. Thanks to @Alex01for painting 
tips
tipsLooking good. Glad you got the clutch replaced!
Got the front output seal tapped in today and also mated the 4:1Tera Low to the transmission. This time I installed the crossmember first, lifted the TCase over and slid it on the transmission. Rear DS went on easy, but I had real trouble getting the front shaft to loosen so I could get it to the yoke. Literally had to ratchet strap it to get it free. 
started the Jeep and drove away like it was brand new! Clutch pedal is a tad lighter. Feels great! Now I’ll wait and watch for leaks. After a light 25 minute drive all is well except one oil drop. I expect the RMS seal will continue to leak for a few hundred miles. Then hopefully the seal will soften and reseal.
And 2 clean frame pics for reference

Used some Adel clamps to secure the lines along the inner driver frame rail. This is something I’ve been meaning to get hammered out for awhile. All good now

It feels great to gt it done. Feels great to drive too. I just want to enjoy my TJ for awhile.

Will you adopt me?? I could use a nice Grand Cherokee...
Technically, white is every color, and black is the absence of color. I still struggle to conceptualize that white is every color.
Yes sir. They had no idea we were getting them one, especially today. Brought it home and they went crazy!
