Also, here's all the goodies going in the Jeep this weekend! It'll be a busy one...can't wait until it's all done!

I saw this on some Facebook page... lol. What are your eventual plans for wheels and tires?

Lol yep, only garnered some hate there. I plan on keeping the wheels I currently have. I will probably run these 31's for quite a while yet. I hope to go to 33's later, but we will see how this all turns out

mind if I ask you a question? How do the leaf spring bushings work? As in, do they have to be pressed in or what?

I haven't opened the bag yet to check them out, but I think they are poly bushings in two pieces, and you can just press them in by hand or with a flat piece of wood and a BFH. That's how it was with the IRO track bar bushings. I'll check it out more tonight.

Nope I've only used stock bulbs in my gauge cluster because I like dimming. The blue cover is an old trick, did it all the time for shows with gels on stage lighting.


As for the bushings it looks like your shackles came with the press-in style?

Yeah, I noticed those big hunks of metal in there, I am not sure how those will work with the Zone bushings. I'm going to investigate this later today.

Kroil is worth every penny though. It works in 5 minutes when it would take a pb blaster 3 days to do.

The liquid wrench penetrating oil is cheaper than kroil, but after using it, I won't touch a can of PB blaster ever again...the difference is night and day.
