Put the rear boomerange shackles on yesterday. Now hopefully the rear shackle wont hit the crossmember anymore.

ok so here ya go. At this point in my life i am not going anywhere fast in my jeep and do not have the money to "do it the right way" so i have come to the concusion that i will finish up the couple of little things before the last run at the end of july. After that i will be selling the jeep not buying anything for another build for a while. At least wait untill i get out of the navy OCT 2011 and find a good job to support my habbit a little better. I thank everyone in the 4x4 community for all the info and support i have gotten.
The reason for the sell is that i can not do much more without spending a lot of money that i dont have and wont have in my current job. I just dont think it is a smart thing to dump abuch of money in it anymore when i know that i will be unimployed next year. And im tired of evry time i fix one thing and drive it for a couple weeks something else breaks. Its just not fun to me anymore and i dont want to deal with it anymore. It will be for sale as soon as i get back from the run to oakridge july 23, 24 and 25th.
Anyways yall are still a bunch of very helpfull people and i find all of your builds very inspiring and interesting. I hope yall understand my dillema. And i would like to still hang out and help build and learn if yall dont mind.

Just incase yall are wondering i will be asking $5000 obo. But gonna wheel it at oakridge and see if i can bring myself back to basics and remember why i spend almost every weekend workin on her. I love the jeep and will miss it a lot if i sell but on the other hand will enjoy having not to be working on it all the time and paying off some bills and stuff.

Never gonna sell it ever. But i do have a short list of stuff that i would like to do this fall/winter after the anual trail ride.
1. 4:1 tera low in the t case 2. 2 low kit also at the same time as #1 3. Do some building on the HP D30 4. Flat fenders 5. Power steering cooler/upgrade (not sure whats wrong yet but it gets really hot in 4low)
Thats about it on the list for now.
Disclamer: I understand their are "bigger better" axles then a HP D30 but i am not going to change this one since its a good axle and has givven me no problems. All i want to do is get rid of a couple known weak spots in it and go down the trail. So i really dont need somebody saying oh just swap it for XXXXXXXX axle because i wont be doing that. And also feel free to give me some pointers on the power steering stuff im sorta at a loss as to what to do to help it.
Thanks Josh

I would find the largest single-row external cooler you could find, whether it's for an auto transmission or for the power steering.... larger fluid capacity, and no issues with air flow thru the cooler.
