...the KJ is gone and in its place is a 2005 Rubicon. It's completely stock with bald tires and a leaking rear main seal that I'll need to get in there and fix, but other than that the Jeep is nice.

Nice. You'll have fun with it! Don't listen to what everyone says about the 4.0's leaking all the time. Mine is 18-19 years old and doesn't leak a drop of oil.

What can I say, I love tinkering on Jeeps. Speaking of, I'm taking Thursday and Friday off to make a long weekend so I can work on the Jeep. I've got to install a lift, bumpers, tires, skids, plugs, coil rail, onboard air, rear main seal, RB1 navigation radio, and the kitchen sink.  It's an incredibly ambitious list of things to do and I doubt I'll get through even half of that list, but I know it will be fun no matter what.

The front is a Quadratec exclusive from ARB and the rear is a Rampage Recovery bumper. |

Going with the 3" Rancho Rockcrawler short arm suspension lift and Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tires in 265/75R16. Could have probably gone with 285/75R16, but I want to ensure I have enough room to flex after the lift settles and all the equipment is loaded up on it. Oh yeah, I'm also doing an Nth Degree tummy tucker skid. Didn't do that one on any of my other TJ's and I think it will be a real benefit both in looks and in clearance. |

Nice. Like the bumper choices. RMS is no big deal. i've sealed up a couple now and many miles later, no problems. The 4.0L is a great engine in many regards, so it is worth dealing w/ minor issues. |
