Welp, its about time for another project. I was waiting out for my dad's WK so I could lift that, but the more and more I drive my current vehicle it makes more sense to make it a weekend warrior. The drivers seat has a brand new subframe, the front end has new rotors, pads, hub assemblies, and cv boots. Most of the Jeep is good to go for the long run. I'm thinking i'll have enough money next month to responsibly drop the cash on a lift, wheels, and tires. The only thing holding me back is a bit of slip from the tranny. It seems like I'm on a countdown to a dead transmission somewhere around 150-160k. Should I drop the cash and gift this grocery getter a second lifetime of trails before it bites the dust? I could transfer a lot of parts to my second project anyway...
