Chuck needed tire rotation

Like button.

Nobody made 5.13 for the TJ d30 back when I did mine.

According to my GPS, 4.88, 35's, 42rle, the stock speedo gear is spot on. Wish I had lower gears to make it not so.

This is the first accurate speedometer I have had on my vehicle since my Excursion. It is kinda nice not to have to remember what equals what.

Full size spare. Modified stock mount. Still needs snubber spacers but the gods of the whirledwhidewebb say that the secret to making this work is having the tire sit on top of the bumper to take the stress off of the hinges.

Nice. Hockey pucks worked for me behind the stock snubber thingies with longer bolts. I think Lee made his own custom spacers out of wood, then painted them black.
My pucks later came in handy for lower bump stop extensions inside the rear springs.

Prepping for a big trip to Colorado so the LJ needed a few things. Amazon got the nod and I set off to applying the goods. Namely, adjustable upper control arms and spacers to level the front and some slideRs for the rockers/steps for wifey.

Here is the result

Colorado netted a tiny bit of damage. I dropped the tranny on a rock in the parking lot at Wheeler Lake. Dumb! Dented the pan and started a leak.

Also, the radiator had been weeping since the day I got it.

So, I took the opportunity to upgrade!!

New tranny pan, added an auxiliary tranny cooleŕ, and a new welded aluminum radiator. This is all in preparation for more power and towing my little trailer all over the planet.
