Clayton Fli kit
Got the Clayton Flip kit installed today, what a huge difference it made in the steering. No more play in the wheel and increased response to steering.
Before:
After:
You can see that track bar was lifted dramatically as well as the steering stabilizer, realized during installation that the stabilizer was crushed and needs to be replaced.
This kit is awesome, thanks Clayton and Adam!

Took my doors off and installed my mirror brackets from dietech. Really really happy with them. They have little to no vibration and placement is pretty much spot. Just had to re-adjust them upwards a touch.
Also.. Got a visit from the brown santa today!!!!
First round of parts ordered from northridge4x4 came in today!
Plan to install everything friday!

raised my breathers on my diffs. while I do respect those submarine commanders, I just wanted a little more insurance. for now planning to leave the transmission & transfer case breathers as is.

just my .02.
Here are my breathers: tranny is the green cap, t-case is white cap next to it, and front diff is near brake booster. The rear is in the tail light like yours.

Do yourself a favor and raise the tranny and t-case breathers as well. They are way too low for comfort. Don't forget, the tranny is SO suceptable to damage with water in it. If you got water in your diffs, you could drive off the trail and not likely do any lasting damage. NOT the case with the tranny at all!!!
ok... so I just went out and ran both lines - tranny & t-case. thank you for the friendly push. even nursing a cold it wasn't bad at all.
apart from the tight squeeze and scraped up knuckles it wasn't too bad.
Question: can I get the check-valves from Pep-Boys?
I lost the first round battle to the old hoses so I left them in but don't have replacements. I know I can get them from the dealer but was looking for a solution before RC this weekend.
