    All I can add to what's already been said is get it aligned ASAP...

    I ran mine without for about a month while waiting for the new tie rods to show up & it shows on the outer tread of the front tires.
    That was just driving 2-3 mi. to & from work 5 days a week & maybe 20-30 miles on the wknd.
    Got it aligned yesterday & rotated the fronts back.

    She drive good now !

    Although, the TOD does seem to "flip out" under hard acceleration in low gear.

    Loco you are right about that.
    I found it rewarding as well. It is good you learn your way around your ride, more so when you are going to drive it hard offroad. I have alot more fun with my Vx now that I have more clearance. next is skid plates and rock slidders.

    I will agree with everybody else... Get the wheels/tires then do the work yourself. I just did mine last month.

    When I was calling around on mine, most chain shops around here wont install customer supplied parts. I called a private shop and was quoted $250 labor+fluids, to install the brake lines. Did it myself for about $6 in brake fluid and 2-3 hours of my time.

    The BJ relocate was the most labor intensive as I rounded a castle nut. The actual lift itself (T-bar crank, springs & rear shocks) only took about 3 hours. I recommend Triathlete's how-to.
