Re: 8.8 swap into TJ

They don't recommend one with the clayton long arm. I currently don't have one but not enough experience yet to have an opinion.

Re: Bumper Finishing Recomendations

Central Mass Powder Coating in Clinton does a great job as well. I had a tire carrier that had seen better days. They gave it a nice refresh and have great customer service. A little pricey but worth it.

Re: U Joint

Re: U Joint

I ordered 5-1330x. It appears that the 1310x is for regular TJ smaller cap. I guess we will find out if the 5-1330x works, If not Ill try a 1310. Thanks.

New TJ - Hope I didnt make a mistake

I stopped to check out a 2004 Rubicon and almost walked away because of some Rust and a 6 in long arm skyjacker. I couldn't let it sit there after talking him down more then 4k.

Re: purchasing a jku

Harr In Worcester was good experience. They sell your trade as they buy it and will offer you cash for it even if you don't buy. They claim to have a haggle free zone and sales people work on quota vs commission.

Re: Winch Question

Thank you all for the input. I am the proud new owner of a WARN M8000 Steel cable. I figure I could upgrade to synthetic later if desired and the M8000 seems to tried and true for the most part. I appreciate the response from everyone.
