INJECTOR SWAP
at the same time as the install of the hood vents I installed new 4 port injectors.
I got my injectors from K SUSPENSION
http://www.ksuspensionlifts.com
came with the injectors,business cards, one sticker ( I got another one for each back window) and the instructions
numbering the injectors
I used this cool tape to wrap the fuel rail.
wrapping the injectors
new injectors with a sleeve and the cool wrap

finished up the hood vents
I found these hood vents on CL for 60 bucks and I couldn't pass up the deal. the only problem is that they were for a CJ. so after I was done installing I had empty hole where the windshield loop would go. so 14 dollars later I had some allen head stainless bolts to finish off the hood.
CJ windshield loop holes location
1/4-20, bolts, washers, and nuts

STAGE 2 LIFT
so on this long thanksgiving break I worked on the jeep. stage 2 of the lift! LOL I didn't like the massive rack I had so I bought "new to me" springs and LCA and track bar
the axle side on the lower controls arms was the easy part. the body side was seized so I cut through the bolt with a saw zaw. took about three blades were side of the bushing
finally one new lower control arm is in. the only place around me with the correct bolts was Fastenal
than the next side and I was ready to start on the new isolators and springs
old garbage to new garbage
and done!
also not pictured is that I did add bump stops to the front. they are just hockey pucks with a hole and a bolt holding it to the spring perch.

Stage 2 problems
I am having a lot of trouble with my track bar though.
the axle side bolt broke. figures. so I cut that out with a saw zaw as well.
my problem is actually at the bracket side.
pictures below
axle side I broke and just cut loose.
my problem is the two bolts that hold the bracket up. the first or right bolt in this picture came out fine. but the second bolt or left bolt in the picture broke. and I cant get a saw zaw in there to cut the nut or bolt loose. any suggestions?

Recap on track bar bolts
I heated up the bolt enough where I could spin the rest of the remaining bolt back up and I used a big pry bar and boom! sucker popped right off.
the front bolt did come out clean so I screwed that back into the nut and heated that up as well. used the faithful pry bar and BOOM!
than I just went a bought new GRADE 8 7/16-2 long bolts, nut and washers.

update
the front of the jeep is back together and the jeeps driverable
some of my black Friday/cyber Monday items also came in.
still waiting on the Dirt bound center console bracket and mid IRO unibody stiffeners.
old garbage to new garbage
window vents
JCR CB antenna and 2 stickers
Rtic 45 cooler
should be at 3" finally! (that's what she said)
only thing I notice is the passenger rear corner looks low, anybody else see that?
