USPS is garbage. Shackle boxes were supposed to be delivered yesterday. Tracking is just stuck in Kentucky. Their customer service is "unavailable". Who knows when it'll be delivered

Decided to try and order a steering box brace for the XJ. KOR brand that mounts to both the driver and passenger frame.

Thanks Im excited. No iron rock off-road. Still waiting for other parts to show up. Springs, putco harness, steering box brace and maybe a set of those leaf sliders. And a crossover steering setup.

After I get it all installed then I will measure for bump stops and shocks. Then it's time for new tires.

Thats the guy that built my roof rack. granted it was 2 years ago but id never have him build me anything ever again. I gave him specific measurement of the rack i wanted. then it took him twice as long as he said it would then i went to pick the truck up with the new rack and he made the rack half as long as i wanted. so i had him get the drawing i gave him that was very specific and asked why he didnt do it like i specified and he said it looked better the way he did it. not to mention the welds that were on that i could do better in my driveway. Then i made him make me a new rack how i wanted and not one piece of tubing is cut the same length on it and the welds on the gutter mounts were so weak that i had to have my uncle redo them. I think his name is travis. Maybe he is better at doing steering

Well that really sucks to hear. But it's good to hear everything. Lee's steering is looking good now lol

What steering set ups does everyone have?
