Welp ive got the typical ball joint "thud" when hitting pot holes. Got under her, and wobbled the tire back and forth and could see the BJ moving..soooooo Thats my next project. Jammed her full of grease for now. The PO was running 33x13.5's with spacers. so im sure that attributed to the problem.

OK, I finally picked up the Knuckles from JPXJMOAB. Tomorrow i will sand them down to paint. I also finally picked up the Upper Control Arms from IronManFab4x4. These things are pretty beefy. When i first opened the box, i thought i got 2 really big breakfast burritos wrapped in tin foil.

Not sure about the front but I don't mind the Aussie in the rear. I actually like the clicking.

Temporary until i can get the time to install the 3 link. I cant even go over a cattle guard without the front end sounding like its gonna fall off. The UCA bushings on the frame end are completely toast.

The part that connects to the throttle body, is that a silicone 90 or pipe? I can't really tell from the pic.

It is Silicone, and i have the 90 on backwards, it should slide over the pipe, not in it. I will get a better photo when i install it.
