Thanks I think the sway might be bent but I'll check it out steering components while simple I don't have the tools to work on most if it alignments and ball joints not my thing I'll have someone look as a second eye but thank you for the idea

Amen, anything to do with steering frustrates me bc it has to be perfect and oftentimes I need a second hand. Good luck with that!

New plan guys.
Not upgrading the current jeep anymore ( sad I know but it's just got to many miles and it's not gona get any younger)

So I'm gona sell it when I go into the navy full time in September hopefully to someone who treats it as good as I do.

And then with the money I go buy another one with less miles and issues and abuse for hopefully around 5,000 and the do everything to it the right way.
I've changed my lift to something of more quality a Clayton 6 inch one on top of iro 2 inch pucks
Swapping in a nv242 and then a k&n snorkel
With a incline winch stealth bumper from Kevin's offroad
A y link from iro and a rage roof rack with 4 kc day lighters center two will be spot and the outer will be flood.

And a rear metal bumper with a tier holder .
Of corse the same cb radio set up as I have now.
And a super winch hopefully 10,000lbs

Then to paint the bumpers will be black powder coat
The underside will be bedlinerd and skid plated
And the paint will be a tanner military drab green (flat) with the word jeep writes diagonals accorss the hood in either dark green or burnt construction orange(shinny)
That will be done by the end of the summer in 2013
Estimated total cost at about 15000
