y'all are reminding me I need to go speak with my metal working neighbor about making a new pair of adapters for the plow, to push it out about 2-3" farther so I can mount up the winch finally.

Haha nahh the primed bumpers weren't in mine! That was Nate's Jeep. I was just helping Nate and 4x4kayak install them. Although, I did get the rock sliders put on in those pics

ordered a new steering rack yesterday. going to be ordering moog tie-rod ends today or tomorrow, as well as new wheel hubs (timkens from rock auto), and possibly new LCA's and lower ball joints...they aren't kidding when they say Just Empty Every Pocket. I'm thankful to have access to a shop to be able to do this stuff myself. I have had the jeep back for a few days since getting the new gears and diffs installed and it is amazing. still trying to track down the high speed vibration at about 60-70 (starts to be very noticeable at about 50 but 60 is where it gets "sketchy". I know the rack is bad and am looking forward to solving the issues.

edit: ordered everything from rock auto to do new LCA bushings, new lower ball joints, new wheel hubs, and the new steering rack and tie rod ends. aside from the rack and tie rod ends, is there anything i should replace in the power steering system while i am at it?

Mounted my new amp under the rear seat. It was a pain in the ass but it's a nice clean install. I had to take the rear passenger seat out and take it apart. There isn't anything to mount to so I cut a piece of 1/2" mdf and attached it between the frame and seat cushion foam. I cut a 1/4" piece of mdf the same size as the amp, covered it in some camo fabric, and then attached it to the mdf on the seat frame. I did that to keep from having to put any holes in the white stretchy net thing on the seat. The seat still folds completely forward as it did before, even when I put the factory jack back in.

I plan to put the amp for my comp set the same way under the other one.

I run the PML pan, with a lubelocker gasket,(no more goop leaks) and a trans skid plate.
If the stock washer for the drain plug slides around, you have to center the washer or it may weap. Finding another washer my be best.
On the rear diff cover I got a Riddler. I used longer SKT bolts, I think they are called, got the specs in the file if ya need it.
