Dana 35 or 44 in the rear? '97's are all D35's, IIRC. There are also some very subtle differences in things on 97's that you have to watch for, especially earlier production ones. Things didn't quite settle down on the TJ line until '98. Keep in mind there are no '96's... there are 95's and 97's built in 96. |

I had the same radio, the base mounted under the seat. Went through what I thought was a shallow puddle... wound up being a deap puddle and flooded the inside. Radio was toast. Bought another and mounted it up top with a metal molle panel that runs from just above the rear view mirror to the speaker bar crossmember. I learned, you don't mount any electronics down low in a jeep! |

You would need it to transmit on HAM frequencies. Whe using on GMRS make sure that you have the radio setup to Transmit with the proper wattage for the GMRS band plan.

View Quote Damn, I really like those AEV wheels. I saw another jeep with them today and it hurt because I had to pass up a set last year, since they don't have enough offset for my lift. |

Thankfully Synergy has a set-up compatible with higher-offset wheels. I had crazy poke on my JK but didn't want that kind of fitment with this JL. |

Spring rates arnt right on the front coil overs but I’m really happy with how it turned out otherwise. Especially the front bumper and aluminum long arms. |

Traded my 20 JT for my new 23 JLUR yesterday, absolutely love it. Already have a Rock Krawler lift and LOD sliders waiting to go on. As well as some other misc. Stuff. Thinking about going with the CavFab bumpers.

Got the front windows tinted to match the rears. Went with ceramic tint at 25 percent. Also put on some OEM LEDs, the stock halogens are awful and changed out the tail lights. I'm going to put on my sliders tomorrow. After that it will be front bumper, whenever it gets here and a RK No Limits 2.5 inch lift after I swap out the diesel springs for gas ones.

Got my LOD Destroyer sliders on yesterday. Missing a few brackets and bolts but was able to get them on. LOD is going to send the missing hardware, hopefully before my trip to Hidden Falls this weekend. I like them and should make it easier for the pups to get into the Jeep.

Full width one tons axles are going to provide more stability and strength. Curries? $7,000 per axle just so you can bolt it in and don’t have to buy new wheels. These are problems I don’t have. What is a ‘load bolt’? Sounds like something you add to a weak axle to try and make it almost as strong as something else. |

A load bolt aids in preventing the ring and pinion from separating under high torque load. |
