My tie rod ends are bad so the wheels wobble about half an inch, how long can i drive like this? I don't have $ for the jeep until next Friday. If I need to I can stretch it but I'm going with the zj tie rod upgrade. I use the zj ends as well right?

Got a cb with a four ft antenna mounted to my rear right quarter pannel and a PA horn. Got the steering put on and an alignment. Order dynomax cat back exhaust today to replace the cut up exhaust on it. Pics later

If anybodys watching this build, the jeep got some armor.
Tube styled rear bumper with hitch. The thing weighs close to 100 pounds. Ties in to the hitch strip as well as the stock holes.
I bought it with some crappy Bedliner as paint and spent 3 hours scraping and sanding it. 1 coat of primer and 4 coats of glossy black was all it took to look great!
I'll grab bettet pics tomorrow with it on the jeep

Nice build, looks like you've got a lot of know-how and skill for a young age.
However, did you seriously spray that bumper right next to that Avalanche like that?

Bumper on the jeep(sorry I forgot about updating this)
Also got rid of a very annoying noise, my rear shock bushings were torn. A set of energy suspension poly bushings got rid of that!
I parked next to this MINT condition Laredo last night. Made my xj look like a pile of crap. It was an a bb with like 30"s
