Really? you do know u just quoted my first post on this jeep....from feb of last year...i think ive got the maintenance taken care of...

 

i had to smash up the rear crossmember, and actually break the metal surrounding 1 bolt to get it out, and use huge vice grips on the 2 middle bolts, because the stupid torx ones stripped out. and to get to the 2 middle ones, i had to drop the gas tank, which required calling people over to lift the back end up with a high lift, and moving the wheels it was resting on further up so i could access everything. PAIN IN THE REAR, but i got it

 

lucky you man. I lifted the rear end up mine with the wheelbarrow moved the blocks it was sitting on to get it but still no help. i was pissed. just wanted to take it home and beat the **** out of it.

 

test fit:


sold the 16.5's and 37s...getting new shoes next month

 

well if it makes ya feel any better...that hitch doesnt bolt on to mine ha. none of the holes lined up, so i had to redrill all of them...and the skid doesnt exactly fit, so i had to 'massage' it with a hammer. didnt feel like drilling new holes for the skid, so i just welded it to the hitch, now i only have to install i thing ha

 

haha very nice

 

hey work smart not hard...

 

finished modifying the skid, and welded it to the hitch...its mounted, just need to pic up a few more bolts


and got my new tires:

 

took out the rear seats and made a flat floor. both sides open up for storage. little bit left to do on this, sealing it up on the sides, and behind the seats so junk doesnt go sliding forward, but so far i am happy with it.
