So today I got to rip apart the front of end of my Jeep with my girlfriend's dad, replaced the u joints, ball joints, and every tie rod. With the condition those components were in I can't believe I haven't had a wheel fall off from my horrible death wobble. Tomorrow I'm replacing the motor and tranny mounts, then servicing the tranny and finally replacing the goddamn leaky oil gasket crap. Hopefully that'll have me all set for Moab now that it's warming up again

Time for a drink

Hah, I don't think you could pay me to. Days like these remind me why I work in a damn office. I'm just glad we took the time to do it now rather than realize on the trail that my u joints and ball joints were completely dust.

Starting to wonder why any of us fools (me included) would want a frigging XJ. Everytime you do something it just adds something else you gotta do to the to do list, Lol.
Example, installed my shackle relocation brackets, much better ride, sitting right at 45 degrees now. Afterwards discovered the mufflers back to hitting the driveline in left hand turns, I think I coaxed it enough to make it stay there (ghetto fix) , we'll see. And my drivers side leaf spring is done, I've been flexing the crap out of it for over two years and never bothered to bump stop em. lesson learned. But I gotta plan.
Spent the last couple weekends working on both mine and mini me's rigs, and questioning our sanity, Lol! Mini me's rig especially, nothings gone easy on that beast. But we got her done.
