Been off the forum for a while, but have been checking in on your build. Looks like it is coming along fine. About a month ago I picked up a '98 TJ with 4L, 4" RC lift, new 33" tires, SYE, Tom Woods drive shaft, adjustable track bars, new exhaust including cat, new top. It had Death Wobble bad which I corrected with right side ball joints, tie-rod end, and new stabilizer. It only has 3.07 gears on a D30/D35 combo, so yesterday I went to the junk yard and got a D30/D44 set with 4.11 gears. I'll put new ball joints in these with new seals at a minimum. I've never did a ring and pinion change/set-up so I didn't want to tackle it on this where it might see some abuse then fail. Besides, I wanted at least the D44 rear end. I'll clean these up then swap these in the next few weeks as my wife is going out of town for about 3 weeks so I have a second vehicle to use (besides the bikes). I had to replace the distributor because on one of the screws holding the cap on, they busted a screw in tried to drill it out and snapped the drill bit off (found this after I got it home). The jeep also had no rear bumper so I picked a used Rock Hard 4x4 bumper/tire carrier used locally. I stripped and sanded it then used Rustoleum's Bed Liner paint on it along with the front one. This stuff looks really nice - you may want to consider it on yours.
