(The front springs are 3" pro-comp springs, We stacked on another isolator thinking it would level it out with the rear since the main kit is a 3.5" R.E express lift, But I ended up getting a bit of cali-lean hopefully the springs will settle some until I can order new R.E 3.5" springs.)


Cali-Lean lunch break!

I also put in YJ flex-hoses for the added travel, New calipers, New rotors, and New pads.

Everything is working mainly as it is, Though i am getting some drive-line vibes and some bump steer, but I think the bumpsteer is due to my tie-rod being bent.

No real updates as of late, just been Dailying patches and finding a few more quirks.

1. Found out the track-bar I got with the liftkit from the junkyard is trash, so I'm just waiting for my choking wallet to clear its money pipe some so I can order a new one. (This CAD to US dollar suuucks. mostly every trackbar I look at is $300+ by the time it gets here)

2. I have to figure out the hard shifting with my transmission, when its cold it shifts like butter, but once it warms up you have to fight the shifter a bit, and under heavy acceleration (4,000RPM shifts) it just plain refuses to go in gear until revs die down.

and 3. I need a T-case drop bad, I had a brand new one from rusty's offroad I bought 3 years ago, but I've seemed to misplace it, and plus with the Canadian Dollar being so bad, a $28 part ends up being $100 by the time it hits my door. I'll have to pick up some square stock, get off my lazy butt and make one.

Plus a few random shots I've took over the past week, cause a thread post isnt any good without pictures!

(just climb to the top of the hill they said... It's easy they said! I found the one soft spot and sunk like a rock.)
