Only true problems i had was keeping track of all of the different mounting hardware.

I am extremely impressed by the reinforcing bracket directly below the radiator. I have not seen any other bumper manufacturer include anything similar, and I feel it adds a lot to the rigidity of the bumper, as it is off the same thickness and provides a good bracing factor to the "uniframe". lulz

Woohoo! another M8000 user! :woohoo:
 
not so mcuh what i did to my xj but for it. took the ram into lee myles trans shop up in merrysvill to have it flushed and serviced. they pull the pan and found a bit of a snap ring that holds the od clutch pack in. the good news it it was only part of it. after talking to the guy who builds the trans(he builds trans for dynomite diesel who have truck with over 1000 hp) its gona cost me close to 6k. but that gives me a billet torque converter, billet input shaft, plus all the little up grades inside the trans. he said it would hold 500hp towing a 2 car 5th wheel no prob...... sooo im going to be a ot pig till i can do that. also found the front u joints were going. and they were sayin that when the unit bearings get taken out often times they are damaged due to how stuck they are. sooo im going to get a free spin up kit which aint cheap.

the good news is i was talking a bit to him about my trailduster project and mentioned i had a nv4500 from a 99 cummins and i never got a bell housing with it. he tooke me out back(which there was a old jeep pickup, a cf i think, cabover style.) and gave me a bellhousing for it :)

Lifted up the front end to find out where my steering was messed up. An noticed my rear left tire was about 5psi. So I filled it. I can't see any punctures so I'm going to check the pressure again before I go to bed and if its low again I'll fill it up and take it to get plugged tomorrow after work.

Back to the front end..... my steering box bolts were a little loose so those got tightened and my tracbar lower bolt was crazy loose so it got tightened as well. Yesterdays trip down fs4610 was fun but those roads really shook a lot of stuff loose. Good to go now.

Sent from my mind cause I'm so Awesome.

Here's the box - sorry about the crappy quality - it's dark outside and cameraphones suck with ISO.
(Realized we should have done a box with drawers once we went camping this weekend and loaded the Jeep up and couldn't get anything out!)

And a few more I didn't include earlier!

Installed a Mag Lite holder and a blue MagLite to match the blue LEDs.
