Sorry no new pics, again I left my camera in the garage. :-[ Today was my first day back on the Jeep in almost two weeks. I installed the shocks, made up the hard brake lines, bleed the brakes, installed the Supper 44 muffler, modified the exhaust hangers, and modified and installed the tail pipe ( yes Paul I kept the tail pipe). YJs don't have a resonator, so it is cat-muffler- tialpipe. It is louder then the Flowmaster 50 series, but not as loud as a Flowmaster 40 series. I haven't had it out on the road yet, so I can't make my final decision if I really like it or not.
Tomorrow I am headed out to buy some diff fluid. I have some friction modifier for the LSD some where around here, I just need to find it. I also need to pick up the parts to modify the YJ emergency brake, but it looks like I might be driving the Jeep for the first time in over a month. ;)
Anyone who is interested in this swap, here is a write up for how to modify the stock emergency brake lines to work on the 8.8. The process should work for any YJ, TJ or XJ that came with drum brakes.
About 2/3 the way down:
