Yeah, I should, but I want to run 35's eventually and that comes with more lift. My thought was get the shorter ones and then I'll have the longer ones when I need em. I guess it really doesn't matter, pay now or pay later.Cut the links. I first ran mine with about 2" of lift.
Helluva price there, Chief. Score!I've been lurking around eBay and a couple Facebook sites watching for set of 5.9L hood louvers. I can't stomach paying 150 bucks for a set. So I waited and watched. Finally found a set from a dude in Canada. Only wanted 50 bucks, plus shipping. So I jumped on it. Cost me 75 dollars to my door.

They need refinished, and one screw post is broken off, but it's there, so it's an easy repair. Came with the drip trays too. I'll get around to install some time soon.
It's coming. I got the cooling system replaced and found water in my oil. I ended up having to rebuild the whole top end of the motor. My intake manifold was cracked, the exhaust manifolds were cracked, and the exhaust manifold mounting surfaces on the heads were shot. So I machined the heads, did a valve job, put and aluminum intake manifold on and replaced the distributor and timing chain. Runs great now! Compression is good, so I should get a lot of life from the engine.Hows the motorhome project going?
You’re thinking like me. I already got my Savvy UAM. It’s not going anywhere but the basement for now till I get all the parts.Been getting the itch lately too work on the Jeep again. I have those hood louvers to install and a Bestop tire carrier.
My generator project has taken on a life of it's own though. It's getting a full rebuild. I have parts all over my garage. Most everything is clean now and ready for paint. Gotta clean the barn, then I'll go nuts and paint it all at once. Reassemble and cross my fingers that it runs!
I'm also teetering on the edge of buying a tummy tuck. I want to make sure I get a Savvy, before they decide to discontinue it for the TJ all together.

Nice. I'm thinking about upgrading too, but cripes, it's almost 600 bucks to do my Dana 44 front. I just posted in the general discussion areas about some weird wear. I might get a stock replacement...Stay at it. Great work. Mine looked like this a couple months ago when I upgraded my front axles to Carbon Offroad 4340’s.
