Today the tires got mounted on the wheels. Tomorrow they get fitted to the car (just leaning against the existing wheel for now.) Oooooh, I'm so excited, I won't sleep at all tonight.

Most of us stay at "The Red Rock Lodge"....an older motel that has two rows of rooms, with a parking lot in between.
The rooms are clean, and they give us a 10% discount. Run about $59-$69 giver or take.
There's a wide sidewalk in front of the rooms and we've somehow adopted it as our own and call it "The Stoop". Most of us gather on the stoop in the evening to cavort and have fun and do some wrenching. Alcohol may be involved.....
Some have called us the "Moab mafia"....

sorry for the late post here, and even more sorry for the TJ to maddawg, but...
how come no one ever looks at swapping their front IFS to something with more readily available gears and lockers?? (i know Alan-bigmeatvx, swapped his front IFS for a dana 44 IFS, and therefore opened up more options for parts?)
Wouldnt it be relatively easy to drop a IFS out of a vehicle with the same amount of splines on the CV axles? If the CV axles plug in, you make brackets to mount it, and you make an adapter to get the driveshaft to work?
I guess i've been getting more into swapping stuff off other vehicles rather than keeping stuff that breaks and keep on fixing it. Maybe thats the thoughts of an SAS on my own vehicle speaking, i dunno.

I don't believe Alan ever actually completed the swap. He looked into it and was collecting parts but I believe that was as far as it got. He was also planning on changing out the spinddles and going to use larger (bigger spline count) shafts.
If you're going to do all that you might as well do a SAS unless you love ifs that much.
