So I bought my jeep about a year ago and I have nothing but what seems to be left over off road troubles.
Cliff notes on jeep
1990 w 133k horrid rod knock sound
came with shot 31's and what looks to be a 4.5" lift no tc drop shot front drive shaft.
had to replace all the bushings in the front end, all were shot and the track bar mounts were all loose. I got all these things addressed plus more.
Now I find my rear tire is not centered in the wheel well, upon further investigation I find my leaf spring has a broken eye in the front
So now I got to get 2 sets of junk yard springs to do this right "s-10 and XJ" to get my rear back up.
Good times

Im with you brotha!! My list goes:
94 2dr 5spd bought at 189k now has 198k
a hack job lift on the front---x2 2' coil spacers with spring helpers
Both front wheel bearings
Rear brakes including wheel cylinders
the Suposively new clutch was bad---- took it all apart to find a cooked clutch and flywheel
All new cooling system---changed out the water pump twice! belt 3times! and idler 3 times! and radiator twice too....
A/C clutch took a crap, bypassed that.
Now my passenger leaf spring is flat, my driveshaft is killing the T-case because it's to long, due to prior owner making it to long........... Shouldn't have bought it, but now Married to it! LOL
All in 1 YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
