That thing is beautiful...
One note on the Ex... if you're gonna add much power to the 4.0, better find a better tranny than the A4LD that's hanging under there now. They not good for much more than a boat anchor. Mines a fairly fresh rebuild so I'm hoping for the best, but keep an eye on temps...once she gets hot, you may as well leave it on the side of the road...

My A4LD rebuild will be a "frankentranny" as built by a guy on "Serious Explorations" aka explorerforums. It should be stronger than a stock tranny. Still I will be adding some extra cooling, temp gauge and external filtration. In the hopes that it will last longer. |

It's not the size of the lift, it's the articulation!

I am seriously thinking of going back to it instead of the 5R55E now due to shifting issues with the lack of VSS. |
