Be sure to position your vehicle so that it's near impossible to move first though, that way it doesn't just slide and you get the best overall result when pulling on the axle.




















No offense Jake, just giving you crap and I always laugh at that video of the guy getting tugged out and his axle twisting out from under the jeep.......
Lol yeah that video was stupid... or you can loosen the bolts on the control arms then try to do it. Im going to be doing the same thing when i get my IRO track bar soon

Got the rest of the metal today for the roof rack, so PTMike, tomorrow at My Three Sons at 3 sound good to you? also, cheese or pepperoni?

Also, a question of painting it, should I just go and buy bedliner or primer and paint it (either way I'm spray-painting it)
