Most guys don't like the bushings they use or the angles of their long arm kits.

I'm not one of them, just knowledge I've picked up over the years.

Bad geometry, cheap components.

A quality short arm is money better spent.

Well, apparently Rubicon Express was just aquired by Transamerican Auto Parts/4 Wheel Parts.... They hope to be shipping for August 1st... Hopefully now I might get my warranty replacement control arm bushings from them.. That were requested the day before they closed up shop. Oh, and along with my warranty replacement monotubes since one blew out on road, and the other snapped in half in the driveway..... Maybe their quality will improve now with the takeover  ::) Best news yet is that they did confirm at least that my warranty was valid, and my parts would eventually ship, even though they were closed for business....
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
