After lift was installed I had a bit of a front end wobble on bumps and off camber curves. With everyone's feedback on here I decided to upgrade my track bar and get an alignment.
The other nice thing about living in DE is it doesn't take long to go from one state to another and it just happened that Quadratec (2 hrs away) was having their annual tent sale before I went for my alignment. I never thought I would find the exact track bar I needed for my cherokee on a table at the sale and the only one sitting there. What a steal! JKS adj. track bar in hand...thanks Quadratec !!
Problem solved!

Saw this done down to the Ocean City Maryland Jeep Show...(credit due to the guys I met from NY)....installed my HiLift jack I had from my Yj days on my rear seat. Locked in place, out of the weather, and kinda hidden by my blanket seat cover. I collect Coca Cola memorabilia and thought it looked kinda clean on there. And yes that is a baby seat in there... Gotta start 'em young!
Better pics to come!

Love this remote mount CB. Made my own antenna mount. And I wanted everything to be clean and to have access to it when I wanted and out of the way when I didn't. Had the CB cranked up by our local CB shop guru! And mounted the guts of it in console. CB unplugs and can be stored in lock box or glove box. Antenna mount cost me $10 and that included the mount, screws and coax connection. Pics to follow. Oh and the antenna is a Wilson 4' fiberglass in black with quick disconnect to allow antenna to be removed on wooded trails or garage access.

Antenna mount is from FireStik ($10 w/ coax connector and antenna mount). It's a Stainless steel flat mount kit that I put in a vice, heated and twisted 90• to create my own tail light mount. Works great and you can see my quick disconnect for the antenna as well. Second screw is just a precaution for extra support. I may paint it black eventually.

Thanks. FireStik part#SS-124A
Cost me like $10 and comes with the coax connection. I just put it in a vice then heat and twist. I was worried the metal would rip so I just went slow. I may take it off to paint it black but it's strong as anything. The piece on top is by FireStik as well (quick disconnect...for wooded trails or to get in garage)
