Thanks for the heads up man. I'm afraid to touch a bolt in this damned jeep, I've broken about 12 so far.

 

Amen

 

I got the power steering leak fixed. That was a pain in the ***. Also changed the oil and the air filter.

 

How do you bleed the steering?

 

Disco the return line at the pump, and run the pump till the fluid runs clear to flush, it bleeds its self.

 

Ah ok thanks!!

 

Ok, so I finally have all the stuff to do my rear bumpstops, I'll get them on tomorrow if its not poss pouring rain.

Here's 8 dollars worth of hardware.

 

Im anxiously awaiting financial aid..and tax time... lol

 

great build! i figured you'd have to trim alot more on the fenders for the 33s to fit. you said youre up 3.5inches? ive got a RC 4.5inch lift on 31s and am looking to jump to 33s.

 

I fit 33s on my 4.5 with no trimming.
You'll wanna trim though if you wanna keep your fenders when you go Offroad.

 

Looks like we are gonna be waiting a while for tax time. Damnit. I think this jeep is about to go on the back burner so I can save and get a dd then it's on.

 

i figured id have to trim a bit, just didnt know how much safe for wheeling. im thinkin thats the next project...a trim and 33s...

 

Thanks, the rear needs trimmed but I'm just gonna bumpstop it. I hate the look of the cut and folded rear quarter, and I couldn't live with the little holes from the bumper cap brackets, so it will have to stay how it is. It will flex fine even with the back bumpstoped to clear the 33s.

 

Ok, I got the bumpstop nuts/ broken bolts out. This is the first harbor freight tool that I haven't broken while using it on my jeep.

 

Here are the new bumpstops, and all the hardware to install them, as well as a pic of the old bumpstops. Also, my plastic ramps have served me well, but I think it's time for an upgrade.
