Upgrades have arrived.

The springs will be in on the 12th.

I need to order new ubolts... I am sure there is something else.

Noah what tools/ tool parts do I need to bring? I am guessing cutting wheel's and grinder?

ubolts: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/U-BOLTS.html or http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/u-bolts.htm


What springs did you end up getting?

something like that work? or you have another one in mind?

I think i am going to go for the 118max model actually... I like the longer barrel... but it looks like the 122 may have a bit more violence dialed in @ 3500BPM vs @2500BPM .... In reality both are the best on the market  :dontknow:

I need a better air chisel than what I got... and definitely need Noah's compressor. Mine would die if it had to do any more rivets lol.

I have done way too many on ball joints.

Actually my air hammer is about dead too... need a new one for this shenanigan for sure

well the last gremlin is dead and it's going great.

1 little oil leak to fix and it's good to go.

have 60 miles on it, have to be nice the first 100... then change oil after 500. no towing till 1000 is what I heard.

so between now and end of June I have to put 1000 miles on it. though I will say I don't think it's going to care what is back behind it with the torque it has  :laughing7:

it also looks to be getting better gas mileage than the Durango with the 4.7 in town, time will tell

I am fairly certain that almost any vehicle will get better mileage than a 4.7 .... The one I used to drive was doing reallll good to get 12-13 mpg... worst I ever saw was 9-10 mpg between vegas and california... that was flat out WOT struggling to maintain 65mph ( I had to stop and drop the tailgate to do that)  :confused2:
