4.10 helped mine. I wasn't flooring all the time to get the Jeep moving.
I know of an 8.8 with 4.10s and Aussie locker setup for a triangulated 4 link for sale. Also has a HP30 with 4.10s. There are custom long arms too, 2" DOM 1/4 wall with Johnny Joints and crawler joints. Just buy Claytons body mounts and you should be good to go. Located in Colorado.

I'm all the way in KY, and while I HIGHLY doubt I'll have the dough to drop on that stuff, PM me a price. And did it help with acceleration, or gas mileage as well?

Kansas City is only 8 hours away from both of us.
Both acceleration and mileage. I was constantly downshifting on hills and even flat ground on the highway. I was able to keep my foot off the gas more and I improved mpgs a bunch. The real benefit was drivability. I know you have the 5.9, this was a modded 4.0 with 33's. They worked great when I swapped in a stroker also.

New brake lines are on...no picture...cause they're brake lines, lol. Rear brake line did not fit, it was not arranged right, waiting for IRO to answer now.
Ordered a CB mount to replace my existing sad excuse for a mount I made myself out of aluminum...
Also ordered this: http://www.amazon.com/Cllena-Digita...ID=5B27PMFJ9YJGBNR6NJS7&ref_=pd_cart_vw_1_2_p
Hoping to be able to monitor my second battery through the A-pillar.

IRO Still hasn't answered me...not like them. I have resent the email.
I went to install the volt gauge for my second battery on the A-pillar yesterday. Instead, when I looked at it, the gauge would have been angled further downward than I wanted. Then, the cigarette lighter socket caught my eye. The "power outlet" is great, and always hot. The cig lighter on the other hand is positioned in a way that basically never gets used because the t-case handle is in the way. Sure enough, with just a tiny bit of scraping (pulled out a pocket knife, enlarged hole VERY slightly), less than a minute later I had it in...
I'm happy with it, I think it looks nearly factory. I will get pictures of it lit up tonight. It's very bright in person, but the camera doesn't pick up clear numbering.

Mounted the antenna correctly (finally) but still need to tune it.
Have to do valve cover gaskets and injectors (have 710 upgrades) next. Also found out my fuel pressure regulator is not holding pressure after the jeep is off...but it's holding the correct pressure when it's running. I might eventually fix that....anyone else need some injectors?

Been helping my dad with his project...he's painted it, and done a lot of wiring work to it...fully legal down to windshield wipers, turn signals, and hi/low beam with lights for hi beam!
Saw this the other day. Makes me think...this was a red ZJ that was in a single car roll over...
I ordered some JKS quick disconnects yesterday. Hoping they will solve my wandering Jeep...
Watching Expedition Overland makes me want to take a trip...it's coming soon!
This is the knock-off muffler I bought. Sounds great. Wish I would have painted it since the "Stainless steel" is starting to rust some...but it isn't a show car
Cleaning the garage to make room for working on my summer projects and couldn't resist taking a couple pics in the rain.

sweet build! I scanned through a lot of your build so far. I like that pop-up tent trailer you made.

Hehe, it's not a trailer. I think in a couple pics I was working on it while It was on a trailer though. Thanks!
