No problem, thanks for being my lunch break entertainment. Now go break more things so I can watch you fix them!

Finally at the "end" of this thread, great build! With all the talk about going to bigger and bigger fans I read through, I expect you'll be at this point in a few years ;). It's even yellow!

Is it just me or is this extremely counterintuitive? From everything I've read you want steel to contact the rocks as it will resist the wear better, it's why @Fluxor provides stainless steel rash guards on his bumpers and sliders. Not to mention the irony of a heavy steel bumper and then...

This happened to me once. Turned out that the positive battery terminal was almost completely cracked through giving it a spotty connection. Cheap and easy fix so I'd check those.

Yep, was just showing the ARB's since it was the easiest way I could think of to show the carrier break of both axles at the same time.

I can appreciate that design philosophy quite a bit, shows a good amount of forethought. Most times when I add something to my Jeep the realization often hits me that I'm unable to replace this part if something goes wrong in an emergency. It's the main reason I'm heavily toning down how much...

Bingo

That's cool. I love hearing about people repurposing parts or designs from other vehicles to increase performance. Reminds me that I have to read Mac's iBooster thread at some point.

The drop pitman arm is not supposed to clear anything other than the rim of a trash can. Take it off and put on a stock pitman arm.

I would comment, but I am an Aggie...

As far as I can tell no. I've got thick cut gears and had no issues finding the ARB that fit them. I went ahead and looked at Eaton's website and found the correct locker (at least for a 44) that also would work so seems like locker selection isn't limited at all as far as I can tell.

I feel like the louvers themselves would likely be enough to stop or at least heavily help prevent this issue since I already know propping open the hood helps a lot. If the insulation was an expensive or difficult job I would likely only save it for a backup, but it's neither of those so I...

I assume you're referring to some random no name Amazon kit and not the DEI kit that's on Amazon?

That's fair, as long as you're willing to do it twice then who am I to stop you. I drove on 33's on 3.07s for years until I bought the axles I have now. Granted I have a manual and didn't know what regearing was, but once I did I'll never go back. I've only dug into my diffs once to replace...

I bought longer brake lines from I think AutoZone. Said they were for a TJ although I'm pretty sure they're just YJ lines. They've worked well enough for me so far.

You can keep using the same gears no issue, but it's recommended to do everything at once for a reason. By doing the gears at one point and the lockers another time, you're doing almost the exact same job twice. The only difference is that you don't mess with the pinion when just changing the...

I've driven through enough mud, water, and rain to know that adding holes to to the top of the hood will do nothing different (in this aspect) when there's a massive hole in the bottom of the engine bay.

Been having a heat soak issue for a bit now and finally getting sick of it. I have insulation between injectors 3 and 4 that was installed a long time ago by my dad, but either it's shot or it's just not enough anymore. Looking at the DEI kit I noticed that while they sell it on their website...

My friend and I had very similar experiences. I realized I had a bad cap in moab and a few days after replacing it I noticed a coolant spraying against my hood that revealed a small crack in the radiator tank. My friend ignored more warning signs but eventually changed his cap. Not long...

That's what I thought, thanks for letting me know.
