Haha. Thanks!!! I have a lot of fun with my kids. Sometimes a little too much. One of those pics of my old XJ on it's side was done by a 14yr old driver.
Been at it for 4 years and I'm hoping that I have many more in me...

Here are a few pics of the steering uprade. I was initially having some DW issues because I did not properly calculate for the difference needed in caster angle, but now it drives like a stock jeep on baby tires.

Took it up to 100mph on the highway this morning on my way to work just to see how it felt and it's nice. That is with no sway bar or steering dampener.

With this Tera kit, you don't even need to run a steering dampener. I have run this kit on my TJ for like 7yrs. I HIGHLY reccommend it!!! It'll run ya $600 on ebay. Rusty's trac-bar bracket is about $60 and I hope you can weld. If not, prolly another $250 in fab work.

Any questions, I'll be glad to answer!!!

So I gotta fab in some new sway bar axle mounts. The only ones that I know of out there are the ones that Rusty's offers. Do any of y'all know of any other options. I'd like to do something trick like the currie rok-ready, but I've never seen anything like that offered for an XJ.

Any input would be appreciated.

This vid iz kinda weak because I had been burning my diggers about 4 times and one of my kids wanted me to do it one more time. If you listen, you can hear when I give it full throttle about half way through it. http://www.facebook.com/video/video....55635664&saved

This next one is just stupid... My buddy asked me to check out this trail... Well, I had my all-terrains on there and the ruts I'm in are like 3 feet deep so I'm just sitting on the belly. I had to do 3 full pulls to get out. I had a guy on here tell me that he has never had a need for a winch that someone could always pull him out. Well, I'll give you the GPS local and give this one a try... http://www.facebook.com/video/video....=1511713399634
If youve never neede a winch... you just dont go gard enough. the last two times i was pulled out, i needed a rubicon on 35's and a 9500lbs winch to get me out. the last time took two fullsizes hooked in series to drag me back on the hill before i could start the jeep and drive up in reverse.

go to an APN header @ ineedparts.com, install a flexpipe on youre downpipe and you should be good. im saving for my exhaust right now, but i love the header ! the flex pipe should almost eliminate the header cracking.

Thanks. I just hate re-spending money. Banks won't refund me and I bought the headder and mid-pipw so it was like 650. I will probably get them to warranty yet another one and sell it and use the money to buy another one. They SUK. My jeep will be down for anoter 2 weeks.
Imma check out that other headder you suggested.
