The MJ is coming along slowly but surely. Got floors fixed, cleaned up some rust on the cab. Going to do 2x4 steel rockers soon. Got the heater hoses hooked up and it about baked me out of the cab. How's the XJ doing?

I'd start by checking the shock bushings. It isn't necessarily the most likely cause, but it's easy to check, and I've seen hundreds go to new parts before discovering it was a $.75 bushing

^ Also suspect upper control arm & axle bushings, when getting a front-end clunk from hard braking. That was where I found the issue on my rig.
