Yeah she has no rust on her and I plan on keeping her forever. I live in illinois, one flurry and they put tons of salt on the ground. I have an XJ for the winter

Looks awesome! How do you like the ome springs? Does the handling differ between hard and soft tops?

Looks great!
Its what I was looking for but could only find a TJ-R....
Auto or manual transmission?
What axle gearing do you have?

My first mod was to replace the oil pump drive since they have a poor reputation.
My second was to do a fluid replacement in the auto tranny.
Sometime this winter mine will also get a transmission cooler, to help keep the automatic transmission from overheating (common).

Enjoy!

Yes the handlings different. Hard top is much heavier. Its on the jeep now. I love the springs. I doubt any other spring could hold up all that weight.

Auto, with 4.11s from the factory. Shouldve included that in the thread. I havent touched the OPDA. but now that i said that i will. Tranny cooler will come after all the weight is on her.
