Ok, so right now it's mostly stock.  I drive a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ.  There's a 2" spring lift on it and I'm using really worn out 31 AT's.

I put a 3300W 6KW peak modified sine wave power inverter in it a couple months ago.

Just recently I replaced both front wheel bearings and the front passenger side brake caliper along with new brake pads.

Soon I will be replacing the steering stabilizer as it has a tendency to 'hop' when I hit bumps between 40 and 65mph.  It gets bad enough at times that it shakes the muffler assembly off from the back of the cat and I'm sure folks swear I've got hydraulics that are going awry! --Not so sure it's the steering stabilizer any more.  Ran the other day with the doors off - First time in what seems like months thanks to all the rain - and had a glance at the driver's wheel while doing about 55mph.  It's wobbling bad... toe-in and toe-out... not the camber soooo now I'm thinking it's tie rods or joints?  Still haven't gotten under it since it's started raining again... Geesh!  Maybe by Christmas! LOL

Adjusted the Toe-In with Mike ZJ's help from 1.5" to 1/16th"  MUCH better!

Installed hand throttle 1.0 on 9/3/09.  Let's see if it works.  We may need to upgrade to hand throttle 1.5 or possibly 2.0.  We shal see...
