    Check out my walk around vid!

    I just uploaded my first YouTube video documenting where my TJ build is at. It dawned on me how many TJ YouTube videos I've probably watched over the years and that people would probably watch the shenanigans I get into wheeling and building... Just have to set up the camera. The build is...

    UPDATE I spoke with the folks over at JB Conversions this afternoon. First and foremost, I do not want this post to steer people away from them in anyway. They were quick to answer my questions and are sending the correct rear housing, tone ring and sensor. To answer the original question I...
