Yeah I thought so too! I would pay 20$ alone for the spacers. Not sure if I'm going to use them but didn't see any reason whatsoever not to grab them. I really want to grab a front xj driveshaft but all of the xjs are laying flat on there belly. There is a Comanche I could possibly get too, but I am unsure if they use the same driveshaft as the xjs, can anyone shine light on this?

Installed my new headliner today. It was completely sagging before. I'm very satisfied with how it came out. I ordered the grey roll of headliner on eBay and then picked up the headliner adhesive at Napa. The job only took about 3 hours total. And man was it worth it. I was getting tired of my head running on the loose fabric. I also put in a new oil pressure sender... Still reading low oil pressure at idle, might try a thicker oil tomorrow/and new filter.

Added some Lucas oil stabilizer today and it seemed to bring my oil pressure up a lot. So I'm guessing the oil was just too thin, so I'll change the oil here soon. Going to prep the ZJ drive shaft and paint it, and also going to plastidip the roof rack crossmembers.

These are the wheels I plan on getting. Procomp 15x8. Also I'm going to install my add a leafs and spacers sometime in the future, I'm going to keep my stock shocks so I'll use bar pin eliminators to gain a little more shock travel back. That should hold me over until I find out what lift I want
