We had a great day of wrenching on the YJ
If you have a short memory I blew the motor in my Jeep
So like any good Jeeper i'm upgrading from the 4banger to a 4.0ho.
To prepair for the mew motor and trans I needed to begin by renoving the front of my Jeep

I placed a ratchet strap under the Tranny

One more note: While I was under the Jeep I noticed the degree shim under my drivers side spring is loose and broken in half
Guess I need to remove them.
