I just bought the Dynatrac / Walker-Evans shocks. Remote reservoir, adjustable and rebuild-able. Great ride for my daily driver. Haven't had a chance to wheel them yet.

They ain't cheap!
Liberator AT tires? Thoughts?
Buy the less expensive tires. Save up for gears. The difference between the 30s and 31s is not going to get you over much more in the way of obstacles.
And if you are considering AGR, you should also look at PSC. (Not Poison Spyder! )

Started by an unhappy AGR family member, they have some good stuff, too.
The New "Crosslander"
I got a junkyard Taurus fan t fit, but it took some manipulation.
The big problem with junkyard anything is that you are buying junk. So I shouldn't have been surprised when it failed a few months later.
I bought the control unit from dccontro.com that really worked...
Gotta love the Bible belt....
Wise? Hmmm..
Was it wise to spend any money on a D35? I would probably saved for a D44 or something stronger.
Was it wise to go from 3.07 to 3.73? What size tires? What engine? My Jeep came with 3.73 and I like to change to 4.88.

RE: CJ Bumpsteer problem
I think the early 98s were different than the later 98's. Probably cleaning up left over parts from the 97s ;-)
Sahara was a trim package - more about dress up stuff like painted flares and seat options. There is also a heavy duty suspension/towing package that I got...
RE: Transmission Problems
Could also be the AX5 on some 98 TJs. Check the body code plate under the driver seat carpet.
DDQ = AX5 - 5 Speed Manual
DDO = AX15 - 5 Speed Manual

RE: How
Not that hard of a job. Depending on your year and model, should just be a couple of hours in the driveway. Might want to get a gasket from the dealer. There are high temp gasket sealants made for exhaust, but I don't recommend them. They make the next change harder cuz you'll be...
RE: carb help, hei, vacuum advance
In my TJ there are both switched and unswitch power leads tucked up above the fusebox behind the glove box. Labeled with the max amp ratings, too. Very convenient. All you have to do is add the fuse in the fusebox.
RE: WHat
Not sure what you have or what it looks like, but most suspension nuts that are unreachable by a wrench have a "handle" welded to them that you can use to hold them in place when you start the bolt and keep the nut from spinning while you tighten it.
