So I wheeled it today and also install the ps cooler and flushed the ps system I will get to test it out Monday!

So I am going to be going soa this coming spring. I decided this because I am tired of getting hung up on my spring plates and the lack of flex I get from sua, I am planning on doing the soa with a set of new oe springs and I need to address my steering setup any way (tierods are getting worn bad) So I plan on buying the teraflex high steer setup! I will need address the axle wrap that comes with territory of soa but don't even know where start looking for a pre fab setup for a traction bar! What do you think of this plan guys?

Yeah it flexes ok for sua but it could be better I think I will try wheeling with out a traction bar bar at first and go from there! I like the idea of having a whole new knuckle vs modding my current knuckle! And I went wheeling again today and wanted to say that my ps cooler worked great, I never heard my steering getting hott once.

I just bought a tranny cooler from the parts store it only set me back 26 dollars and not only did it come with the cooler it cam with everything it you needed to install it! I installed it on the front of the radiator with the supplied fasteners! I mounted in front of the radiator because it said it will cool the fluid at 100 percent compare to being mounted behind it (on the fan side) which it said would cool it at 60 percent! As far as installing it goes it was super easy you just remove the low pressure (return hose) and hook it to one side of the cooler, than hook the supplied hose to the other side of the cooler and run the slack back to the reservoir! I will try and get pics of how the lines are ran for you. like I said it really helped my rig out and it was well worth the 30 mins it took me to install it!

Thanks for the props! sorry melary I did't even take the jeep out of the garage today so I did't have enough light to get you any pics of how the ps cooler is plumbed up I will drive it to work tomorrow and can take some pics then! So I have develop a nice exhaust leak of my manifold some where and I am hoping its just the gasket, I think that if it is the manifold gasket that could be part of the reason my jeep runs so lean. I figure if the exhaust manifold has a leak the intake manifold must have a small leak some where as well. So to fix the problem I just ordered a remflex rf10-002 gasket and that should take care of that. I am throwing the idea of adding a 4.0 throttle body to it at the same time since I will have the intake manifold off which is a perfect time to match the intake hole to the same size as the new tb, do you guys really think its worth swapping out the tb????

Hey thanks for the link, I tried to get some pics but it's pretty hard with it already installed in all but here is what I got hope it kinda helps :/

So over the last two days I installed my stock height booms on the front, and replace my intake/exhaust manifold gasket. turns out my leak was coming from the egr block off plate which I didt have a gasket for, so I put some copper high temp (700 degree) rvt on it I hope it holds I will find out in the morning. The good news is I can take everything apart and have it back together in under 1.5 hrs

Pretty stoked I now have a way to record my wheeling outings!

So nothing to cool but a small update any way, I replace all of my tie rods today and aligned it. My old outer tie rods where really really bad. My jeeps steering is now really tight and responsive!
