Where is your seat belt!

LOL. I had such a bad time with mine. It wouldn't work half the time. Would fall out and catch my steering arm. A good racing harness is on the list.

I used to think I could Jump out before a Roll ever happened till I was in one. Glad I happened to be wearing it that day...

Wow, that sucks.

I think it's worth saying how important a seat belt is when you are wheeling with the doors off. I posted a video the other day with my seat belt off. But it was not by choice. I could not get it to release.

Yeah the front is a little high than the rear... 2"

I've ordered Shackle Relocation brackets for the rear and some softer springs for the front to level it out at 6"

Here's a few more!

Wife was playing on the computer last night so I "Quietly" pulled the Jeep into the carport... Last time I did that I got in trouble for having it sit there for a month while I installed the D44 Front.


But, it only took a few hours to slip on RC Shackle Brackets:




Brought the rear to a good height, now just need to lower the front a touch and she'll be done!!!

Did you get the other coils installed already or is that the "lower it just a touch"?
