Got my new TPS. Old one was super bad. It revved all over the place and when it was in park it would sit at like 1600. It's so nice to not be sitting there with your car revving all over. You get a lot of looks from people aha.

Planning on a new track bar because, we'll I may have a stock one right now aha. I'm pretty sure that's the prime reason on the restriction of my suspension travel. I'm set on a IRO double shear. I see a lot of people getting some RC one or whatever and end up buying the iro so may as we'll get the good one the first time around. Really trying to start do some serious saving for some adjustable upper and lowers and drop brackets or the fixed iron rock long arms. That's gonna be a little while though.

Well change of plans, again... Track bar is being put on hold. Doing my Senior project on Fab and building a rear DIY JCR bumper. So that is getting ordered soon as well as a either 12" or 20" light bar for my bumper since my headlights blow. Then the Iro Track bar.

If you search eyourlife on amazon they have the bars pretty cheap, Im getting my 50'' from there I think its like 140 or something like that. But I feel you on the track bar limiting flex, Im not really concerned with it at the moment because my damn tires smash the **** out of my fenders as it is(no bumpstops). Its all stock suspension except springs and shocks

We'll not much. Ordering the diy JCR rear bumoer next week. There is a chance I'm selling this for a red 2 door and I will build it with 35s and a6.5" lift. But for now this one isn't going anywhere. Went to the pull a part today for my long search of a factory 44 and guess what! 87 with the towing package and guess what was missing for the back! The ****ing 44. Was pretty annoyed. Drover 1.5 hours for basically nothing. They had hella nice zjs though. They all had skids and tow hooks and stuff. Found a 2 door 85 v6 that had the factory skids. Couldn't get the front one off, got the transfer one off and didn't have time for the gas unfortunately and they wanted $25 for the little wimpy tc skid. I said no aha.

Awesome build man. Wish I had a Jeep that nice in high school! I had a stock 91 YJ in high school, but never had enough money to do anything to it. It was still an awesome Jeep though. You still have the sway bar connected? I recommend getting some JKS discos if you haven't already. Also, getting that new track bar should definitely help the flex.
