Blue Thread locker and I stand on the wrench to torque it down.

I'd like to have a Silver paint job and to get rid of these f*ckin' spacers.

The fact that I chose 15" wheels a while back which makes life cheaper but prevents me from upgrading steering.

No high-steer.  If I bend my g*#-damn tie rod one more time...
 
And, that I still don't know it backwards and forwards like I did my 4Runner.  Still have sounds I don't know what they are and after all the money I just spent on it...that is frustrating.  Oh, and my AC sucks, but I haven't been able to justify fixing it, since I only need it every once in a blue moon.

I hate you said ONE thing instead of everything

I hate that what started as a few upgrades in
2015 snowballed into a complete rebuild with
ONLY Dana 44 axles (even with upgraded shafts)
I hate I can't go bigger than 37's.
I hate that it's broke down right now.
I hate that it don't have at least a rubi transfer case.

Just front lowers when almost at full turn. I'm not doing anything about it though lol. No time or energy for that sh*t right now.

Mine do the same thing. At 6 psi, they can really be pushed into the arms. They keep the arms polished though!

Hate is such a strong word.  There are several things I want to change like front axle and transfer case.  Can't think of anything I hate.  I used to hate my 8.8 because it drug over everything but not some much now that I have taller tires.

Sticky 37" would make all the difference. Be like wheeling with 40". Won't have to beat on it....or as much.

37" reds are in stock from bfg for a short time.

Yeah, I should've thought of that before replacing this last one, but not sure it would work with the other Currie pieces, or I'd have to replace the whole shebang.  I am going to *try* to be more careful.  :D

I disagree. It makes you a little sore.

I hate the fact my Jeep is not a LJR or a 2 door JK Rubicon on 37s.

My clutch hydraulic setup (not the clutch itself). When I did the first V8 swap and put in the NV4500 trans I bought an Advanced Adapters setup that was supposed to work. It didn't generate enough throw so I ended up having to up the clutch master cylinder bore size, making it incredibly hard to push the clutch pedal in.

If you ever miss a leg day in the gym before a ride let me know. You can do a few sets, one leg at a time.

Hate is a strong word, but I think it accurately describes how I feel about my clutch pedal feel.
