Well, ive had a ton of problems with that stupid tbar drop bracet, they are garbage and i would like to warn everyone of the dangers of running one, i think i sheared off about 6 bolts just driving down the road and one time it sent me into Extrrrrreeeme DW on the interstate... so, if you are thinking about running one... dont do it.

So anyway to solve the problem i ordered up an adjustable trackbar (not the double shear) from IRO...

I loved dealing with the guys out there, the guys are great and they shipped it out very quick for me... But anywy, as always, heres some pics:





this pic didnt come out to great lol

I havent updated in a while.. mostly because i havent done anything but i have made some plans...

Depending on how the summer goes (how fruitful the lawn mowing ends up...) here are my plans:

-Trim fenders
-Cut and replace my stock rocker with some HD ones and tie it into the frame
-1inch shackle in the rear to try to level it out a little better
-D44
-33 inch mud terrain
-Bumpstop
-Posssibly some new shocks...
-Flowmaster
-If the yard work is very fruitfull... ill regear (4.56 ) and put in a locker
-Front and rear bumper or just front tow pts

and i need to fix the steering issues im having as well

And i got bored today and took off my muffler and made a video of how it sounds:

I also put on my BPE's and shortenened my quick discos so it rides good again

and i made a custom sticker:
Is it just me or does the the Jeep sticker look like a NINJA lol Cool sticker and a nice rig man! Keep it up. Bye the way I want that sticker

Agreed. I want one too! to put on my other car that isn't a Jeep.

some advice before you go spending large chunks of change on it: Save up a nice decent sized amount of money and keep adding to it a little at a time. Life tends to sneak up on you and surprise you with unexpected expenses and things breaking you didn't expect to ever break...even moreso when you drive and wheel a Jeep.

Thanks alot for the advice, i am definatly going to try to keep alot in the reserve because ive been in the situation where i run dry and something breaks or multiple things screw up and leave me dry and its not fun. so thanks for the advice!!
