Just had wood around it while I messed around with the TC. The plate I made worked perfect. Last thing I wanted was for the trans and T-Case to slip and fall.

Princess Auto puts these on sale fairly often for 130 bucks Ian,they're actually pretty decent. Next time you're in Edmonton you should look at one.You're young enough to justify having one,lol.

Took 45 minutes, Called 2 buddies to help me put it back.. lol. I got a body lift on my truck so lots of room for activities under there.

I swear a 1.5" body lift makes a world of difference for maintenance on these HEMIs , From Trans bolts acess up top , to spark plug changes . Well worth it even with a 4" lift.

I've been debating a body lift. Every time I have to mess with rear shocks, gas tanks etc I've contemplated getting one on.

Is it the 3.6 version? Have you ever met Dylan Wagoner,he has one,and the best thing he said he did to it was re-gear it with i think either 4.56's or 4.88's to offset the bigger tires,he's told me,but i wasn't really paying attention,lol.It'll hold 8th gear better with the deeper gears.

yup V6, Yes I will put in new gears once funds allow. :)

Cam swap should be done during Canada day long weekend. and after that im moving onto the Jeep as the ****Box will be done.

I will be stealing the 10K Smittybilt winch off the Ram and using it on the Jeep. ;) as they fit real nice on these JKs. will just get something else on sale for the 1500, no point of having a fancy winch you cant see. ... lol...

Get ahold of Chris Zelinski of Player 3 Performance Tuning in Edmonton when you want to tune it.He has a pretty decent rep with tuning the little 3.6. He also tunes with HP,and you're already set-up with HP.
