Gonna try to keep a “build progress” thread going for my 8.8 and HP30 build. I’d say this the first major project I’ve tackled for my TJ. I’m a backyard weekend warrior type mechanic and I’m learning as I go. Always looking for advice so please feel free to post opinions and thoughts. I’ve used this forum for years now but haven’t really contributed. So here’s my first try at giving back to the community.
