    Got my new 4.88s installed front and rear. Installed ft axle seals and poison spyder diff covers. Now it drives like it used to on the street.

    Checked out your media page ...@Offroad798 are you going to replace the foam gasket around the shifter? are you planning to drive through waters that will reach that vent?

    I like doing more rocks than water or mud but one never knows. I was able to reuse the gasket around the shifter. ( Had to work slowly and took a lot of time. I heard new gasket around 25 bucks or so). The vent is on top of the shifter so its not real high with factory tires. The 37s only rise a little and the lift a few more. Living in Florida rocks are rare and water and mud rule. We also have sugar sand here. Since I lifted the jeep, I extended the axle vents I decided to also do the x-fer case and the transmission. Better to have extended and never need it then to not extend the vents and need it. LOL I hope in the next year to try and make a few jeep jamborees. I've seen some of the water crossings and want to be prepared.

    Installed the S-Tech 6 switch system. The switch pod mounts directly on the plastic trim above the rear view mirror and NOT the footman loop.

    In the attached pic are six colored wires that exit the power control pod (relay/fuse) in the engine compartment. Just hook up + and the - closest to accessory device.

    Wire to battery is covered and sealed with abrasion resistant covering. Power wires to lights are 18ga from the relay which is similar to competitive units. I added a 80 amp circuit braker.

    That's a nice set up, and a great price!! I'm going to look into that! Less than an S-pod, and seems better put together.

    Ive been looking for a good tie-down set for the back, for a long time! Been thinking of making my own, but I just went to their site, and saw they are on sale for 12 bucks, so I ordered some!

    Tough to beat $12 tie downs. GPCA has quick-release thumb screws to replace the bolts but the thread pitch is different:(
