Apperciate it. Once me and my wife settle in I will get to a meeting, I don't know before then.
I do have a question for the locals though, who is recommended around here that is trust worthy and has a good knowledge of jeeps (mechanically)? I installed some RC quick disconnects and have developed a "do it when I want to" death wobble. I can drive it days without it happening then it will happen randomly and go away again.

So I need someone with a better background than me, to solve this issue, because I can't be going 70mph on 1604 and have it happen. End result = not good

Kinda depends on the lift and what else you are running on it..

It has to do with my quick disconnects, it's the last thing I installed before this started happening. (I have had my lift on for two years with no issues)

Anyone dealt with "Downtown auto repair"? They are the only ones I've seen with constant good reviews

are you sure your discos are the right length. I only trust Cambridge automotive they are a little pricey but there the best

I know the RC disconnects were crap when I had them, ended up getting a Currie Anti-Rock Swaybar when they broke, if you can get it, I'd highly recommend it. Fixed all the problems the old disconnects were causing, plus you don't have to fumble around with em' anytime you wanna crawl.

By the way, anyone know if WJ's are any good on the trails? Been thinking I may end up getting one, it's getting harder to find a good XJ I can afford, but WJ's are always around, and I like the numbers on the 4.7 V8.

Ive seen a few, basically the same mods you would do with an xj but you have the advantage of a coil sprung rear..

other than the gas tank hanging rediculusly low theyre fine in my book, plus you get factory cross over steering and bg brakes

Anyone have a good mechanic they would recommend for engine work? Need to get the jeep running again, been to long since ive been wheeling.
I used to take it to a shop off of FM78 a but the main mechanic left and works on his own now. (i cant remember his name at the moment. think it was like RJ or something)

Just didnt know if anybody here knows of a good mechanic.


Thanks
