Nice,im just outside the back gate..get it finished,and we can wheel sometime.

 

Local JY has half off on all parts. Picked up a front skid plate off a 99 XJ hidden in the back. 5 bucks. Just got done pressure washing it and painting. Pics tomorrow.

Also recieved my poly bushings for the tie rid today. Probably install that tomorrow as well. I decided to wait to install the brown dog motor mounts until I'm due for an oil change.

 

Happy Days. 4x4 is fixed. Shifter rod was to long. Cured my DW for know. It appears the trac bar mount bracket had a bolt loosen. I'm about to get the damn thing welded in place.

 

Was it the guide rod for the shift fork inside the t case?

 

Yes it was. Had to remove about 1/4" off.

 

I had the same problem,trimmed it per instructions..no 4x,took it back apart..and trimmed another 5/16. Now it's shifts great.glad you got it figured out. Mine will be done soon..ready for some local wheeling?

 

New rims and tires.

Loving the upgrade.

 

Looks clean!

 

Replaced motor mounts today with some brown dog poly's.

 

Pretty impressed with the quality. Vibes aren't that bad at all.

 

Install took about an hour and a half. That's moving pretty slow too.

 

Got my Detours XJ Tailbone Tire Carrier a few days ago in the mail. Painting it now. Look for some install pics this weekend.

 

Detours XJ Tailbone Tire Carrier Installed. Took most of the day to install. Very straightforward. Hardest part was getting the stock bolts and bumper off. Just need to get some nuts for the bolts to hold the spare on.

 

Looks like good way to keep stock appearance and price down. Worth the price? Is it sturdy enough for recovery? Any rattle noise while driving?

 

I definitely think it is well priced and quite the value. I've had it installed for a short while now and no issues. No rattling while driving and I've been pulled out a few times using the recovery points.
