there's your close-up

You can see in the after paint correction picture, right below the cherokee sport badge is where it used to be.

Thanks for the tip on the body eraser, made the work a snap and I think it turned out great.

Thanks man, this Jeep bug has got me pretty good and it's turned more from a daily driver to just another project that I am budgeting parts for haha.

mcguyver_xj

no problem man glad we could convince you to do it

wow thats was one of those moments.......

C.J.

Yeah it still has some trace of the adhesive in places but I will get around to it some other time ha.

Ha, no big deal. The paint that was under the trim was is so nice...makes me wish I had this Jeep when it was brand new.

Well after this weekend I got some extra cash for my birthday (tomorrow) in which I turn 25 tomorrow and that means...more stuff for the Jeep!

Ordering all of this through IRO but as of right now the list looks like...

The extended stainless brake lines kit
New longer front shocks
bar pin eliminators for the front

and maybe...just maybe my mother is going to buy me the double shear tracbar

My question is...should I just spring for a set of new Bilsteins all around for $349.99 or go with the tracbar and just a pair of front Doetsch Tech shocks for $189.99 + $94.99?!?

C.J.

So I have an awesome chance to buy a set of 4 35" Procomp M/Ts for $100 with about 75% life left in them...

Should I jump on them and run 35s on a separate set of wheels? I can get steel wheels cheap at work, what is the ideal backspace on these Jeeps for big tire clearance? More the better? Less the better?

i'd say more

C.J.

Well I am probably going to pass up the tires b/c I would rather buy a locker for the rear and worry about going up a tire size next year.

Ya man go for a locker!

C.J.

New parts showed up according to my fedex tracking #. Pictures when I get home!

C.J.

Look at what we have here....



And Inside we have...



27" Stainless steel brake lines
Doetsch Tech PreRunner 8000 schocks (SUPER LONG!)
Iron Rock Offroad bar pin eliminators

More pictures to come all installed tomorrow, kind of worried about the brake line install since I have never really done that before. Any special kind of tools required?

I don't think so CJ i have yet to do mine! I have been so busy haven't had time. I think bleeding them will be the hardest part. Let me know how it goes for ya.

C.J.

Will do, I really hope it goes quicker than I expect...but then again I am working on a Jeep. Bleeding the brakes still has me a bit nervous, I honestly don't even know where the bleeder is on the caliper...anyone have a picture? Or should it be obvious?

itll be obvious its a little bolt with like a nipple looking beal on the top
