As long as you get full range and nothing hits it looks ok to me.

No, not yet.
Got my bracket welded up and I'm going to have to cut it off. I didn't give consideration to the track bar, which it will hit. F#@k!

A sway bar will do way more than that stabilizer. You have a good steering kit with qa1 heims. You shouldn't need a stabilizer.

I really don't need it, but it does like to follow the cracks in the road, I was trying to reduce that.
I have sway bar discos, but I haven't put them in yet, this "seemed" easier. I've got other issues with my sway bar.

Got a little mud (and clay) on tires today. At the action track, ran 46 laps around the track. Still haven't put gas in it since winterfest and still have a little 1/4 tank.

I dropped my tranny off at firepunk diesel in Plain City, OH and they are building their competition series for me with a bolt in sprag and I'll use my hipotek viper torque converter and my Msaine valve body. It's getting HD 2nd gear band, all new frictions/steel, addition clutches in 3rd and OD, and billet servo, strut, anchor, accumulator piston, and apply lever. Then I'm getting a pan from B&M that has a drain and temp sensor bung. Gonna be one stout tranny.
Re: Re: Important
Sounds like my tranny build for my tow pig! Except you got the comp rebuild kit. Ready to see the final product!

So what you are saying is, you will really be able to give it to your tranny.....

It might finally be able to take the bashing I give it. Hopefully.

i'm contemplating having a bullet proof 42re built for the wj...i'm just curious how spendy a fully built tranny would cost?
the 42re is a turd, but it can be rebuilt with some 44 and 46re internals and some other upgrades to make it pretty stout, but im just wondering if its a better idea to do that or to move ahead with the plan to make the aw4 work. by the time i fab a crossmember, buy a shift controller, pay to have computers reprogrammed, jimmy with the tps signal to splice in an aw4 tcu, fab the linkage for tranny and xmember, i just wonder if it would be a better idea to build a better 42re. so far our 42re is working just fine (im assuming its probably not original) but once we move i'm going to take it to a tranny shop to make sure the bands are as tight as they need to be...i'm hoping i can get by with the 42 for at least a year until i have some more money to throw at the wj project. for now, the xj and the new mj will be having a good amount of work done to them

The AW4 with the rail shifters would be cool swap for a 4.0 grand. I don't think 46 parts will work in a 42 but I know 44 parts will. Main issue with those is to delete the check valve on the cooler line and the 42, 44, 46 don't have the usual over heating problems.

dan, thats the way i ran it. only diff is i just ran a small bracket to keep it parallel with the tie rod.
i put it on and it helped a bit but the sway bar will improve road manner much more.
i forgot to reconnect my discos after wf for a week or so and wondered why it was all over the road. felt like a race car after connecting the sway bar.

I kinda wonder how involved a mantrans swap on a ZJ would be. I mean, 4.0 ones are pretty easy... a 5.2 one would be reasonably simple too, throw an nv3500 in there. 5.9 or heavy right foot and I wouldn't go anything under an nv4500... the ECU tuning could be interesting, but I don't think it would be too bad, there are a lot of people doing JTEC tuning now.
