Also wired up an led light to my taurus fan...should have done that a long time ago.

I am still waiting for my Sky pitman arm...I made the mistake of ordering it through Dunks listed on Sky's site. The guy there is lame and it has been about 2 weeks now, and still no pitman arm.
Yesterday I installed a new trans cooler and installed a steering stabilizer finally....

New tires waiting to go on..no more pizza cutters
Also had my driveshaft shortened 3/4 inch...it bottommed out a couple times on dropoffs.

I havent updated this in a long time, and I am bored soooo.....
Made a few changes and added some stuff
Added Trail-Gear differential armor front and rear
Also made some adjustments to the rear end and added an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear axle
cut off the LPSV bracket to the panhard and added a turnbuckle (thanks 4crawler)
Replaced the "shovel" transfercase crossmember with a Budbuilt-still need to get a skidplate fabbed for it
