Nothing with a factory motor. Maybe you’ll be okay since ford had them in the explorers with the 5.0.

Maybe offer some pros/cons or a suitable alternative? I’d love to hear it.

I put Speaker headlights on about a year ago. The connectors never locked well to the stock connector and I ended up zip-tying them.
It worked fine for a while and then the lights started intermittently going dark. I tracked it down to broken wires in the stock wiring harness.
I cut off the stock connectors and crimped (waterproof) on a pair of Putco connectors. They stay connected to the headlights and no more problems.

Battery finally crapped out so I replaced it will one from orielly. Their "gel filled" one... I was planning on getting an Odyssey or something along those lines, so we'll see how this one performs.
Also, replaced the jounce stops with some poly ones from Rugged Ridge. Definitely going to have to shorten my bump extensions now.

Can you share the specifics on the pressure gauge? How did you get it hooked us to measure the pressure?

That's not tire pressure, it's voltage. He's got the Apollointech switch pod like I have.

New shocks, because the old ones were shot.
PA speaker, because sometimes you just have to yell at people.

Well I can’t even post a picture right side up, maybe I shouldn’t rebuild my shocks...

Like I said, you’ll probably be okay. For the amount of work I probably would have done at least a 9”. Jeep is updated though. I’ve been thinking about picking up a YJ.

Rotopax mounted up. Need to add the plate when my other rotopax lock shows up. Waiting on some tools for the Dynatrac ball joint rebuild to finish.

The 8.8 is damn near a drop in swap. I’ll see if I can break it.
Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
Doing something similar with my YJ. The 6.0 just got back from machine shop. Cam should be here mid week. Assembly starts next weekend. 8.8 is on jack stands getting ready for 4.56 and ARB locker.

Your lower ball joint looks like the early gen too. What axles do you use? I think some of them hit don’t they?
