got distracted from getting the stereo stuff by my dad needing help with the blue k5, fixed the problem he was having and fixed the idle problem, it had a vac leak at the carb. since i was out there i made an antenna mount only to find out that my cb isnt working...now shopping for something else.

 

I noticed a few times you mentioned about not flexing well.

take off the front sway bar links, and remove the rear sway bar.. if there is one. You will see a difference. I have 240LB spring rates. usually lift springs are like 150-180, my RE ones are 241. with my links disconnected she flexes well.

EDIT: dont remove the sway bar links permanently. you need the sway bar for street/highway driving. I meant just to see how it flexes. you can however remove the rear one and toss it. its not needed.

 

flexing isnt that important for the time being, i like the stability it has on the road as it sits.




I was trying to find the short for my front drivers speaker and now my drivers door lock wont work, yay.

 

I got ya... just didnt want you to think something was wrong or it was the springs.

 

This happened to me!! I have to lock it with the switch get out shut the door lock with the key then check if it's locked

 

i know its a combination of HD springs, sway bars, and spring helpers, if i ever get new packs in the rear it should be a lot better.


mine wont lock at all unless im holding the key in the door turned counter clockwise... i guess i should get those speakers for the front sooner rather than later....

 

i think im going to get-

thoughts?

 

I had ordered one pair of the Kicker speakers and they came in today, Crutchfield was a great company to order from, they shipped very quickly and sent a lot of instructions (not that i needed them for speakers....) along with adapters for the wiring. The packing peanuts that they use are made out of starch and dissolve almost immediately in water!


And one of my tires is dead, i think it was slashed (two slits in the sidewall)

 

u can eat those packing peanuts, they dont taste to bad

 

no thanks, they look disgusting.... my stepmom uses them for projects in her kindergarten class and usually has to buy them so she was more than happy to take them.

 

i got the Kicker DS60's installed in the rear. They sound great and with the wiring Harnesses from Crutchfield they were a breeze to install, no more hacking up the wiring and soldering!

 

Any pictures of that? I've not seen that option before.

 

ill try to get a picture sometime.


looking at tires right now since im down one.

looking for 1- 235/75 r15 to the dead one
or 4 31/10.50 r15
or 4 235/85/16 (would be selling my 15's if i got a set) and im tempted to get some from a member- https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f11/lt...pper-s-109959/ if they're in good enough shape.

 

Had a good day today, went to Prentice cooper to have some fun













The jeep did great, it really exceeded my expectations. I came up to this sign so i popped it into 4wd fpr about 100 yds till i went back to 2wd




And you know how things never look as bad in pictures? that was this-







i put my skids to use, and landed on my hitch once or twice. the only damage i had was a dented rocker from sliding into a deep rut trying to help a guy out who had gotten in over his head in his old f150 and got stuck.

 

Nice... and yea it does suck how pics can never tell a full story...
