Currie, IronRockOffroad, JKS make quality steering component. Then again though, that's some serious dough for those brands. Do it once, do it right.
Who makes that front bumper? Looks good. Almost factory looking.

Well it was only 100$ and sure looks alot Beefier than the stock one. And I have a rc hd steering stabilizer. So it's good enough for me, if it does brake and I total my xj I'm sure rustys will be recording a call from dad.
And I actually have no idea. Guy who sold it to me didn't know either, but it's super thick and welds are great.

ehh ravines are to skinny for my liking. and my dad wants them for his wrangler, so im going to be buying some crager soft 8s with 3.75 bs after christmas when i have money. because i am broke after ordering those parts from rustys.
oh and then my 16 birthday is in february so i will finally be old enough to get a legit job and some cash flow, so thats when the real modding will begin!

Brakes went out on the jeep today as I was backing out of the driveway, and when i went to brake the pedal was stiff. wont move at all unless i hammer it and it barely moves and the brakes skid to a stop, i had to pull the e brake and almost hit a car on my way out of the driveway, lucky for the e brake or i would be buying a new back bumper right now.
No idea whats goin on, brake fluid is full and all brakelines are attatched with no leaks and still pedal wont even go down. So taking it back to the shop monday And wasting more money.
flip side, i get to Drive this Bad a$$ offroad machine until I get the jeep fixed lol

dude, join that other forum I told you about and ask for help. Someone might actually come help you fix it since most of us are local. You might avoid a trip to the shop. Just curious, what part of Memphis are you in?

Well since my brakes are out I decided to tackle the jks and do some painting. Installed them in about 2 hours and it went pretty smoothly.
When I finished I cranked it up and the cel is on. Great!

well since my jeep is having problems ive been driving my sisters car(the maroon ford above) and went out to go to autozone today to get some parts and on my way home this guy pulls right in front of me turning left and i slam on the horn and brakes and he nails me. front bumper on my sisters car is folded in, headlight shattered and hood got a dent but the guys 87 corrolla is totaled, hood folded, both headlights shattered and he had to get a wrecker to pick him up. i ran out as soon as it was over was over to make sure he was ok because his ride sure wasnt. luckily the police came shortly after and took care of everything.
my back is a little sore, but ill be fine. im just really glad i wasnt in my cherokee because with my brakes being so bad, and the angle we hit, he would have most likely been dead and i would have rolled. so very thankfull, and relieved.

Hey I've rolled my first Cherokee. I built that thing from 16-17 years old bone stock to 3 inch and 31's. A lot of parts I had replaced turned neon green. Anyway long story short I was out 3500 easy and 2 points on my license for something not my fault. Oh well now I've got a better Cherokee that will be even better. Good looking xj and can't wait to see how it goes.
