You will love the JB fab shifter, they are very well made and work much better than the stock J-shifter.

There isn't much that an alignment shop can do on an EB. The only adjustment they can do is Toe-in so don't let them charge you much. Also the factory specs are crap for a lifted EB with larger tires so they probably won't adjust the Toe correctly anyway.

Taking it to big ten.  Mike has been an offloader for a long time and I trust his judgement with this.

I've been an off roader for a long time also and an alignment shop won't be able to do anything but toe-in. If they know modified EBs they may know not to use the stock specs if you're lucky. the only way to change any other alignment settings is to install adjustable ball joint shims or cut and rotate the knuckles. you don't want to pay them for that, do it your self. the only good thing about taking it to a shop would be if they can give you a printout so you know if you have a problem.

if you do get a printout let me see it and I'll tell you if you need to change anything. I know what it takes to make these things drive good.

Finally found my trans leak.  One of the cooling lines had a small gash in it, maybe 1/8".  Cut and spliced and no more leak.

Also got my twin stick partially installed.  Still need to cut the flags, hopefully tonight.

twins are installed!  Kicking myself for not doing it when I had the transmission rebuilt.

X2, you will love the twin stick. Wait till our next trail ride, you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

I started gutting and fixing some else's poor rust repair. I replace driver side vent window with one of my spares,(the latch was missing and a screw that was screwed into the rubber was the only thing keeping it closed . I added diamond plate rocker covers.

All of the fiberglass used on the inside to fix rust has been removed. now its time to break out the welder and scrap metal .

I removed all the tires and have it on Jack stands to start rebuilding the Brakes and checking bearings and seals.

I will post pictures of the progress soon.

Fixing more rust, and my hood scoop needed a little TLC. :)
