Thanks! I've got alot of time (and money) invested so far. By the way, (signature's are nice) but I just checked out your signature, are you part of hell-bent? If so, I need a grill hoop-stinger combo for my front bumper.

Well, I take this to state inspection on Friday, so had to get the rear bumper mounted. I think I have it all in order.

Wow how did you ever get the wife to say yes! Mine *itches when I want to get an alignment done let alone buy or do anything of this caliber. Maybe your wife has a friend? LOL, great build, hopefully money from Iraq will support my jeep addiction.

Well, the wife actually doesn't keep track of projects like this thankfully, but I must admit after 15 years of marriage, I normally do not lose money building projects like this, so not much she can say. She is already talking about selling this for a new 4 door jeep. That kinda sounds fun to me, as I would like to sell this (I thankfully have this paid for) to fund the 6.1 hemi, and dynatrac axles for the JK!

Well, the brown truck came and went today, left alittle present for me. Thanks go out to Dave @ Northridge 4x4. Put another sticker on the cabinet for sure! Can you say 35 spline? I know they aren't D60's, but with 456 ARB, 35 spline, I should be OK. If not, after I work some more this year, and get the Christmas bonus, maybe a call to dynatrac would be in order.

You should plan for about a month out from when you want to get your axles if you order from dynatrac. You pay half up front, and pay the rest when they ship. Thats about how long it took for me to get my axles.

I ride both, but not very often. I have a 2005 crf 450 I bought new, and it has 31 hours on it, and a yfz 450 with around 4 hours on it. No time with 4 kids, and building a jeep.

Thanks for all the info, I just bought a 2006 5.3 and trans for my 97 Jeep. Did you do all the wiring and PCM yourself or did you have it done at a shop. I am in Iraq right now and trying to get all my ducks in a row for this build when I get home. Also, I see you put a Flowmaster exhaust, which Flow did you chose and what size pipes did you use? I have a million and one q's but I will keep them to a minimum and spread them out.

Ask away brother! I used 3" single exhaust, not sure of the muffler, but will post up some pics for you. I did the wiring yes, I used a Howell harness, which was very simple for the GM motor, basically, plug it up, add 12v hot and 12v key hot, and it will run. On the jeep side, I ditched the computer but kept the factory wiring for lights and such. Works great so far. I did run into a problem yesterday, and remember talking to Howell and Advance Adapters about it, but when I go to low lock, the computer won't shift from 1st gear because of actual vehicle speed. So, I'll fix that this week.
