Thank you, very impressive! I hate to ask, but it sure would be nice to have the torque specs for all the bolts as part of this writeup. And is an air impact wrench a necessity?

To answer a few of the questions.
The pedal is lighter and shorter then stock and takes some getting used to.
The torque specs are whatever they felt like when the came off. If the bolt was a b@#$% to get off it was locked down tight. If it popped loose quick it was just snugged down. I plan on retorqueing everything I can reach after the break-in.
An impact wrench was only necessary for the top transmission bolts. I couldn't get a handle on the socket without an extension and the extension prohibited any good wrenching to break the bolt free. It is really helpful for the whole project.

Are the JK's known for having a crappy clutch from the factory? I only ask because I have just over 13k miles and I feel like mine is beginning to slip. I dont want to deal with replacing another poorly made OEM part.
