Jeep is driving mint! Took it on the highway and my speedo said 50mph (not exactly sure what my real speed is yet with the 35s) and it drove like butter. Reaimed the headlights because I forgot the front end is 2" higher and was blinding trucks. Going to tackle the rear at the end of the week most likely, have to cut out the shackle boxes and fix that rust hole under the gas filler tubes

Happy 4th of July!
Haven't done anything yet. Been busy and my phone got stolen over the weekend and even though I have a new one, all of my pictures, videos, memes, and notes for the Jeep are gone. I ordered the Rubicon Express RE1660 track bar for 4.5"-7.5" lifts because my RE1600 is too short with the 5.5" coils. Which makes sense, but I'm dumb. Too much thread showing, and axle is a half inch off center, which causes it to vibrate and loosens up the axle side bolt, leading to bad shakes when hitting big bumps. I have to tighten it up every couple days.

Stopped by Aresfab today to finally pick up my rocker replacements/sliders, they've been there since before In lifted the jeep lol (Sorry James). Also grabbed some mid stiffeners and my warrantied front 4.56 gears that I gave to Brandon when he blew his up. 3-link getting tweaked and will probably get going in the coming months when I have the money. Also looking into some replacement sections for the rear crossmember because where my bumper mounts is kind of dicked.
