Wasn't today, Yesterday, picked up the new Axles for the old girl, D44 rear with lock rite, D30 front with ARB and pump & O/B air, now to find the time to swap...need to order rear E-Brake Lines, and maybe the rear brake kit to rebuild them. Looking at ordering ZJ tie rod, may as well copy EastCoastCam lol..since he's doing such a good job with his heep.

Sounds like Daren's gear. It's a nice setup!

Ready for a ls swap are you Gene if so i can help you out with that you wouldn't regret it ;-)

This drivetrain item is farther downsrtream than the engine, needed fixing anyway...

Maybe I should think about an LS swap! Not much power left in my old girl, and the vacuum choke break doesn't work, making really poor warm ups in this kind of weather!

I got some new LED bulbs for my reverse lights in the WK. It seems that ever since manufacturers starting tinting rear windows in vehicles, the rear visibility at night sucks. I read about these on JeepForum, they're a 7w CREE bulb with a projector. They are brighter to look at, but do they really throw more light? I'll know soon whther they are really any better than the regular 3157 bulbs that I took out. Here is a comparison between the 2 types of bulbs, a shot of just my Jeep with reverse lights on and a comparison with my wife's PT Cruiser (3157 bulbs).

So how is the view from inside the Jeep with the new bulbs?
