My bumper is still stock, so I am waiting until I order a new one. Or maybe I will get the Detours A-pillar mount.

 

Vouch detours a pillar light mounts.

 

I miss my lights up front. The stock bumpers before 97 had predrilled holes just for such a thing, I wonder if its true for the newer style..

 

I don't have a stock bumper though... Rigid fab

 

Deal with 4wheelparts. They owed me some money, so I just bartered.

Did the bitter springs trail today with some wranglers. fun easy trail did the whole thing in 2wd other than when we were ****ing around on the rocks. had one guy get a lil tippy in his stock wrangler




almost got it flexed out. the rear still had more to give

plenty of room in there to stuff some 31s



getting tippy. his rear wheel was like shoulder height off the ground we all jumped on the back and he backed out.



oh and figured out why my belt squeals only on the highway and why it leaks oil only after a highway trip.
here is a pic of my balancer from the bottom up

the rubber is worn out and let the pulley move aft and started cutting into the timing cover.. good i guess cuz i was planning on replacing the front seal and balancer because of the leak bad because now i have to replace the timing cover

 

Well my help with the lift for tomorrow bailed. Not the first time he has done this.

Working on it by myself, again!

Question, do you put the springs in before the LCA or put the LCA in and shove the spring in there? I got the LCA in but can't get the spring in. Even with a spring compressor. Axle is dropped all the way too.

 

Pull the lca and it will let the axle drop lower.

 

With only UCAs intact, make sure you don't over extend the brakeline.

 

Yea I realized after the passenger side lol. Did you change your sway bar bushings on the chassis? Mine are shot. My last XJ I got them at Checker Auto but now O'Reilly doesn't carry them and I forgot the part number.

 

I actually removed the calipers. It's only 2 bolts and you can droop the axle as low as the UCAs allow. Made it really easy to slide the springs in. The RE 3.5 springs are beefy.
