After a heck of a lot of work, and so many things going wrong, It liiiiiiiiiiiiives again. Had to get the rear drive shaft shortened to fit with the new transfer case, so instead of having all wheel drive, I've got 2wd, 4part-time, all wheel drive, n, and 4lo. Also had to buy a new battery due to a crack in the top of the battery. When it goes bad, it always seems to get worse.
When i first read about the project that has been done by many other jeepers, I was severely intimidated by it. But after buying a few wrong transfer cases, banged up knuckles, and loads of grease, I've completed a project that I feel was worth the learning experience.
It should be interesting to see if I can get better mpg with the 2wd instead of the Awd. Sometime this week, I'm going to buy a couple cans of .97 spray paint and paint the grill blocks and the belly pan (not really sure if that's what it should be called) and figure out a way to get it attached.
Next project, will be adding a warm air intake. It's starting to get cooler, and I feel a warm air intake is pretty easily achievable.
