Now you need to change your diff oil, tc oil, and check the swivels...you have ***** though! I have wheeled mine up a creek but i don't think the water got any deeper than 3/4 of the way up the tires....never had it come into the cabin. Lift looks good too!

checked fluids, only got water in front diff and it was barely enough to milk the oil, so that is cleaned and refilled guess I need to check the vent real well since it does not leak

we also finished the exhaust today I removed the thrush turbo 2 we installed 3+ years back, replaced it with a new welded thrush ( $37 fake flowmaster) new over the axle pipe and we used a 45*, 2' of straight and a turndown ( all off the shelf 2.5" dia) made up 2 new hangers

sounds great not to bad driving but she speaks up when you get on the gas this is with cats deleted so with them probly quieter so just sounds like a v8 with a flowmaster

now I see the fill caps for the swivels but no drains and how to check the level? removed the pipe plugs but did not see obvious evidence of water, my old military vehicles have these type so I know they use a special grease gear oil mix ( we call knuckle butter) that is sold by rover in packets ( we make our own)

found the a/c leak it is one for the lines for the rear air, covered in dye

how much lift you guys get from the 2" hd ome springs? think I measured 33 3/4 drivers front and 34 1/4 drivers rear with 235/70 tires pass side was a little lower

this is empty rig with 1/4 tank of gas and my winch mounted, just does not look like it sits as high as pics of other rig on here, probly just me

Tires make a big difference. 265/75s make you look a lot bigger
