Thanks man I definitely need all the prayer I can get to pass that class. And yea Hopefully my jeep survives Moab cuz I will be driving it to California after wheeling about 4 days there. I am trying to get it all ready to go by finishing up some last things. I just put on some longer brake lines and a few other items. Now I just need some adjustable upper control arms, and maybe longer shocks and new steering-which is why I am really interested to see what you are doing steering-wise. Is the local guy FrankZ or someone else? what are you going with otk, wj swap, high steer 
...? or just regular utk?
And as far as wheeling- I will probably be going on the 30th or the 7th...just let me know man I am trying to enjoy the Colorado trails as much as I can before I move out to Texas where there are nothing but hills and mud.

Yes, FrankZ. 1.25" x .281 wall DOM tie rod and drag link. Plus new Chevy Tie Rod Ends. I bought a JKS adjustable Track Bar too off of Frank's site. All in all goodstuff. I should be driving by midweek.
I'll totally go wheeling with you 7th. Where are you thinking? I've never done ER.

Wow, i havent done anything to my XJ in a while. Thats untrue, I have wheeled it once. HAHA
Enough of the bullcrap of making my XJ look better (i.e. bumpers, removable doors blah blah..) i have a few things to do to make my rig safer and more reliable as a DD and 4x4 capable
- Extended brake lines. I'm technically a banjo player.
- Hockey puck bumpstops. My tires are going up too far therefor slicing into the lugs. DAMNIT
- Possibly a SYE
- Shackles for the rear so my leafs can stretch properly
Thats it; short simple list for now. Im headed to CSU as a freshmen and am wondering if I'll be able to do it all. But I won't do much wheeling without this list mostly finished
