Got caught in the rain today with the doors off! That was fun. Lol Had to keep the jeep in the wash bay side of the shop at work.

I agree.. I think a zj rod and adjustable track bar will suit me just fine for now.

Well.. I'm 3 days into my new place now and it's already taking a toll. From constantly sleeping on my pos bed which was caved in lol in ocean city..... My back is killing me. We have a new bed here and 3 days of sleeping on a normal bed has just about paralyzed me...

But not enough to do some little things on the jeep . Got a set of brand new kc daylighters today in Chrome. Which I'm going to plasti dip black of course.. And put a final coat on my wind fairing. It's so cool to have a little garage/shed to work in!

Went with a friend and looked at a cherokee for him also today. He ended up buying it. It's got the typical motor work needed and some rust. But I'm going to be building the whole thing for him as a toy. So i'm pretty excited about that!

Got it for $650!
