I went through the Jeep tonight (post snakes run), appears I abused her a little more than I thought, sliders rashed as hell but held up nicely. Slightly bent tie rod (Upgrade) , bashed the LCA mounts (again) box em in with some sort of skid, rashed the muffler (needs a new one anyway, rusting out), rashed the gas tank (need a skid), slight dent in my oil pan (Skid or tougher pan) , bent the rear diff cover again (again upgrade to a cover that doesn't stick out past the diff.), Nailed the crossmember pretty good (held up nicely, Bent the **** outta the exhaust heat shield (ghetto fixed), and beat on my D-rings on the front bumper pretty good (need to narrow the bumper) my lack of experience at fabbing a bumper showed itself. I made it all the way to Eagles nest on three inches of lift and 31's but damn did my girl feel it afterwards. I got a lot to do if I'm going to keep it up at this pace, Lol!
