Got it. Glad you got it fixed up for the trip!

Looks like an awesome day. What ended up being the issue with the front ARB locker?

Looks great on there. Even without a rear stretch the gained ground clearance will be nice. If you do decide to outboard, I would also think about the rear stretch so you don't do that twice.

I'm glad the tank was able to go to a good home. Good call on the -6AN fuel lines, much better than stock. I look forward to seeing that tank under your rig!

I'll just say that it's what you would expect when someone moves the tank into the tub and has 40s. However, there is one difference that isn't something usually done on TJ and the moving of the muffler forward gives a clue.

Went out to Rausch Creek with @Drastic this past Sunday for a little shakedown of my recent changes and to have a little trail therapy. The Jeep ran fantastic and sounds great throughout the day. The issues I experienced prior to changing to the fuel cell and new fuel system are gone. It was...

We ran down Beaver Creek, then up Death Trap, then through Rock Creek over to Otters which is where the big rocks are. You could run all of those on 35s which good line choices. When I was on 35s I tried Otters twice and broke an axle shaft both times, then would bail before the exit which has...

Yeah man, it was a lot of fun. You are very welcome on showing you what ORIs and an LS can do for you :D It was a bummer that front locker went out. You still made some pretty gnarly lines, but you needed it on some others. Overall great day and I look forward to wheeling with you again in the...

Another easy mod was adding hood louvers. Since the LS swap my hood has been extremely hot to the touch. I went with simple ones from Genright: Hopefully these do the trick. The front one is right over the radiator so that should be a large amount of the under-hood heat. The other to should...

Bump and price drop to $900

From what I’ve heard the C pillar tie in is the the key one as that and the windshield frame seem to me the most common spots that need support on a flop. Since my towers are in the tub and connected it was an easy spot to tie into. Plus, if I go back-half, then it’s an easy cut and re-tube.

Another thing I had on my to-do list is C pillar tie in’s. I had previously done the A pillar tie in’s but never posted about it, so here is what that looks like: What was left was the C pillars, so I got those tied into the shock towers: Wasn’t to hard of a job, but glad to get those...

Good call. Hopefully a tune will go a long way to curing the issues you are having and maybe the fuel system could be an issue or a dead cylinder or something motor related. Keep us posted.
