Changed tie rod end, sadly I lost my amusing death wobble, re-routed my exhaust, replaced some cheap "turbo" muffler with a Flowmaster 40, wired in my new speakers, so I've got jams again!

Many more things to come, poor girl was severely neglected before I got her.

I know how you feel :P Everything that looks like its not stock? I did with my own hands. Steering has been replaced 3 times, Full stereo rebuild (can't live without it being loud), then lifted and dented lol The one body damage that was there when I got it, I just recently straightened... So now I know whenever I look at my jeep.... Yup that dent was from that one tree

just a heads up the window lock is a common thing... every jeep i looked at did the same.. its an easy fix just use that to your advantage to get the price lower

Made my bumper brackets today and mounted it. Its coming together PRETTY GOOD! I couldn't resist testing out my color choice on the corner. Its camo flat tan. Was planning to paint the bumper flat tan and my hoop flat black. will match the jeep pretty good i think.

I'm slow on posting so I am going to catch up for a week or two.

I replaced both side view mirrors - removed the wobblely stick mirrors for all manual mirrors. The sticks didnt' work anymore and the manual mirrors don't need to be moved once adjusted.

Today I removed a door panel to push out a dent my daughter provided when it was her XJ. Then I sand blasted a few spots on same door and primer'd those gray.

The center console lid had a busted catch and a loose hinge - repaired it as needed.

Last week I picked up a used 'add-a-leafs lift, with coils and TJ shocks. I don't know who made it and I have a photograph of what is left of the part number/sticker and I hope that someone will find it familiar enough to tell me who made it.

Last but not least, I adjusted the steering gear and took out a bit (tiny) of steering looseness. I take out some more next time I'm under the hood.
