05 Flame Red TJ Build

I’m leak free. Took her off-road for about 45 minutes. This is quite a bit different. If you don’t watch it you can really lift that front end quick and it can get away from you! I’ll get used to it. Tranny temps rose while wheelin and dropped off by the time I got home. (7minutes).

Just re-read the past week of this thread because I must have skimmed the motor mount discussions. I went with the MORE w/ 1" of lift included. Highly recommend them!

For me these replace ~120k OEM that had the 1" JKS lift block. I'm not as obsessed with every vibe as some on this forum but I'll say the MORE certainly don't rattle my teeth out... I'm very happy with them.

I’m absolutely loving this! The auto is growing on me. It was meh at first. Every drive gets better. The O/D switch gets punched a couple times most drives. I’m practicing two-foot driving. Hopefully be natural in a couple of weeks.

Really happy that you found the leak and were able to get it fixed... I KNOW just how happy you must be.

The two foot driving isn't that hard. It only took me a week or so to get used to it and it's how I drive all the time now.

Is a leak free Jeep a crazy reality?! Man, I really hope it is leak free. Will be so nice not to have those drips on the floor and all the grime buildup in the skid and on the axles and everything else.

Wait - Jeeps leak? I had no idea…🙂

Congrats on the swap, Jeremy. Great work. I’m glad the leak turned out to be a simple fix (given that you are now so good at pullin’ the T-case).

Well, when he does go Tons and Fodeez, it will be much easier to get him off his lid with all that extra weight on top…
