REPLACED:
Rear brakes (which fixed E-brake problem)
G2 4.10 gears for rear (Front end disengaged for now)
Rear ProComp ES9000 shocks
New "Body Armor" rear diff cover.

DISCOVERED:
My rear springs need to be replaced due to warping. I suppose I'll be hitting up rockauto.com

Picked up a transmission, transfer case and shifter assembly the other day for my rebuild project. Also got in some parts yesterday and today. Plenum plate kit, Sure Cure kit, plugs, wires, distributor, etc.

Here's a couple of pics http://photobucket.com/partsfordodge

Still have some parts to buy for the trans and still have to get a water pump and timing kit to change out when I do the plenum but I'm getting there! Pretty soon I'm actually gonna have to do some work.

I don't now if this will help much, but I run one on a couple of vehicles. I figure and crap I can keep out is helpful. I'll post up when i get it installed.

Rotated the shoes.

Left and got on the freeway.....approaching 70 to pass...and my hood peaked up at me. You know as it catches the latch. I was like....wtf and had to get to shoulder of No. 1 lane.

Grrrr....gave them a little phone call of sensitivity.

Just be glad it caught the latch! I had a hood fly open at 55 before, it's not fun, and you would be at very least, hood shopping.
