Now you're talkin'
Great minds...
That's what I run on my Jeep, Jack. OME lift, with a 1.25" BL and a Rokmen TT. As far as the MML goes, I would highly recommend the brown dog MML. They completely replace the stock motor mounts, and are very beefy. I used the JKS MML that came with my lift kit, but once I saw the Brown Dog mounts, I wished that I had bought them instead.
The Currie Antirock, as well as the Currie steering are two upgrades that I highly recommend. I'm running both and I've very happy with them.
Nice rig... congrats on the purchase.
Best bud just had an 06 LJ Rubi delivered from OK last week, has 32K miles on it. I just bookmarked the OPDA thread and will fwd to him, glad i found the mention of it.
Thank you.
The low mileage ones are getting rare. Congrats to your friend for his purchase. I just did the Stripperguy mod to mine and even with my low miles, I was showing some wear, so it was good that I got to it.

I'm about 125 pages into the thread, i'm unaware of the Stripperguy mod so far but i'll get there.

I also got the "Locker Bypass" completed this weekend. Now I can lock the diffs when I want.
Jack
Got to have that... I guess I can understand why Jeep did/does that, but lockers work great in high-range too. Ford has got it as their new 'anytime' optional rear lockers prove.
Yeah, I can't remember where his information starts, but it is a long way into the thread. I think by the time I spent the time to read the thread, I lost a week...

Locker Bypass was one of my first mods when I bought my LJR.
Cheers
New to the forum, great looking LJ's! Just bought mine less than 2 months ago. Haven't done anything to it but the locker bypass and removed the nerf bars/steps seen in the photo (wife not happy about that). Removed the chrome grill as well, maybe I'll sell it. I have an RE BB with the 285's. Was thinking of re-gearing being it's an auto, but now I am thinking of going back to the stock size tires. Truthfully, it's a daily driver and wheeled maybe 10% of the time anyway. Going the more "expedition" route, I believe.
Anyway, here's mine:

For as easy as it is to do, it should be at the top of everyone's list.
Awesome looking LJR. I really wanted either white or the sahara color you have, but mine was too good to pass up. Nothing wrong with going back on the tire size, why pay the price for the larger tires if you aren't using them? My neighbor has the stock size on his SWBR and even went with an all-season type tire because he doesn't wheel it at all. How many miles when you bought it?

I think it was around page 200 that i found Stripperguy's kit.. dropped him a PM and we have a kit on order. He has no "Laughing Monkey" symptoms but i'm going over saturday to pull the OPDA and inspect the drive gear and camshaft...fingers crossed. New OPDA enroute also for the SG mod.
Locker bypass?.. back to Google!
Upthecreek, your LJ Rubi is identical looking to my buds. Once he found the Khaki with darker hardtop and auto he was all over it.
