Good morning fellas
Has been a usual rainy weekend here, finally got to install the wood grain dash panel I picked up a couple weeks ago...
Still gotta install the boostwerks transfer case linkage, check why my front diff is leaking from the cover even with a lube locker, wire in the switch for my 50" light bar, and install the front drive shaft and cut the lower control arm mounts which I am dreading! But gotta do it with these long arms as they will interfere when flexing...

Also if during the week when it doesn't rain, gonna install the smittybilt rear tire carrier on my Cherokee and install the re2700 shackles I picked up on Amazon a couple months back...
Still waiting on my nates 4x4 sliders and dirtbound off-road long arm kit...
Going to give dirtbound another week to respond to my email I sent earlier this week and if not I'll cancel and go with a cavfab 3-link instead...

Afternoon guys. Was a great weekend. Had some carb issues today with the boat. Started about halfway through the day. Seeing as we were on the S end of the lake with a N-NE wind, we just drifted all the way back while fishing. Gotta def get the trailer for it going. My *** realized I'm not that young 20yr old who can easily bench a 350lb boat by themself anymore.

Hey pals!
I just installed a 3 in rough country lift on my 1992 xj and now it is making a loud scraping noise (sharpening an axe on a circular whetstone) while driving. It's coming from the front (driver side maybe) sounds like it could be brakes. I'm about to take it apart and check it out. I'm in college so time is limited, anything will help!
Thanks guys!!!!!!

Welcome to CF. Common thing is that thin metal dust shield behind the rotors has a tendency to bend east and is probably rubbing on the back of the rotor. Check that first.

Good morning fellas
7 hours yesterday trying to install the re2700 shackles, cutting the no lift srbs, and installing the rear bumper not even the tire carrier part yet...
Body is aching and on only 3 hours sleep...
Might take a chance and try installing the tire carrier part at the end of the week...
