If you don't already, you'll want adjustable lower control arms to put the wheelbase where it was originally.
And you will need the angled track bar bracket if you have over a 2" lift. That will keep your track bar off the gas tank side plate.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Cant attach the video with smoke rolling off the rear pinion so this is all ya get. 10 minutes from the house. First time ever in my entire life heading out in something, not making it to my destination, and coming home on a tow truck.
I have road tripped a lot of hot hot garbage I thought for sure I would end up pushing, but my money has been on this thing letting me down at some point.

Drove to work in the rain the past several days (an uncommon occurrence here in Phoenix - the rain, that is, not driving the TJ to work). Nothing bad happened. The wipers worked well and the new-ish BFG ATs held the road without hydroplaning. I took advantage of the slick roads and panic-brake tested the tires by max braking at 30 MPH - all 4 wheels locked up, and the Jeep tracked straight and predictably. No surprises and apparently all components are solid and work as expected.
So essentially normal driving with no surprises.

The vehicle is no longer sitting idle on a farm but if I find new nests I'll take your great suggestion.

These work better for rodent control in the warmer months.
Replaced the two per catalytic converters with Magna Flow 50899.
Well since I have been driving the F150 to work, I decided to tackle the slow to fill gas tank, like 20 minutes to fill.
Got the tank removed and wow at the left over mud/sand from Coppinger Cove!!!!

Evap hose barb broke, did a little search and found where @mrblaine said to use a 1/16 NPT tap and a 1/16 x 1/4 hose barb for the repair!!!!
Thanks Blaine!!!!!!

2 things you never trust, and I should have known this from the first time I met the guy.
1. A fart.....
2. @Hog.

So, @AndyG is still trustworthy?
Kinda sorta, maybe........
When I used to do mud a lot, I met a guy that never washed off the engine or underneath. He told me the mud helps seal all oil leaks.

I've heard people say the same thing because it keeps it from rusting.
Yeah ok and all that........
Maybe try deeper mud next time and see if it works. Avoid water when you're done.
p.s. I don't miss the mud and the expense of "trying" to clean it all off afterwards.
Messed around with pinion angle and then actually got to drive it around the local trails for a bit .
