yeah... i hate doin nitty gritty ****. i ordered a correct speedo gear too, so hopefully i can get my gauges to work lol... i unplugged the connector on mine and it had tranny fluid all in it... i think maybe that might be the problem why my speedo and odo isn't working... and i want my fuel gauge to work again so i don't run out of gas on the street... or run out on the trail

got the front one of these done today.. tomorry i'll put the rear ones on. not that they take forever, but when a 13 hour day is a short day compared to the rest of the week it kinda limits the hours you can put in on the ol' jeep

so i'm planning on lifting it an inch or so.. got my relocators that i figure will lift it about an inch. i also got 1" coil spacers for up front. hopefully i'll get quite a bit more flex out of the rear because it's very limited right now

Looks like it'd be hard to get a socket on those bolts, have to use a wrench?

Yeah, wrench on top and a socket on the bottom. It was still pretty easy

Wow, I feel dumb I remembered the bottom shock mount having threads instead of a nut for some reason.

after months of neglect. i finally couldn't stand seeing my relocator's sit in the garage untouched. they look good, haven't seen how well they work yet... so tomorrow maybe i'll get my bar pin eliminators on in the rear shocks and see if the torque converter bolts are loose.
