Yesterday me and my buddies cleared out a trail behind his house, its a creek going up a 60 percent incline with huge rocks and black river mud in it. I took the jeep almost all the way up it, and its by far the hardest trail ive ever been on. Later on a buddy called me and said he got his stock xj stuck on a rock and wanted me to pull him off, he called me back and said the jeep caught on fire, luckily the fire dept. got there before i did. Luckily there wasnt any damage to the jeep, and the mountain didnt catch fire. Interesting day to say the least.

Your jeep looks great man. Keep it up!

I do have a quick question though, I've got a 3'' lift on mine and want to do some quick disco's aswell...how did you take care of the top of the link?? if you left it as is and only put a clevis pin in the bottom, when you rotate it up, does it bind on anything or get in the way at all?

Thanks man, as far as the top link goes i take the top nut and bushings off and just take the whole end links off and leave the sway bar where its at, that way it doesnt bind or anything. This is only temporary till i get my discos
