Well thanks to stealthcherokee i got my knucklebone mounted up original problem was the hitch pin didn't line up and even if i drilled the anti-rattle would effect it...so his idea was put the receiver part in just enough to use the anti-rattle and put a bolt in then use YJ shackles to connect that pin to the other pin thus securing it all:

i like it...

 

long as its sturdy itll do the trick ntm i like how your tire sits way lower bc your using a hitch not a reciever on a after market bumper, so the tire wont completely block ur rear window. good looks brotha

 

Well got the parts jeep gone today proceeds gone to stealthcherokee as part of deal...and since i have a tire carrier i put my back seat in and installed my front speakers which sound amazing...

 

This morning went to the mall and did more creeping on clayton3854:




Made a rear license plate bracket today very crude but it'll work then drilled another hole for an added pin on the knucklebone meanwhile a friend was tackling the surface rust on the doors...

 

Xj looking good man, and it's cool seeing both of them side by side. Clayton3854's build is one of the first I checked out when I got here (cause we both have the same white cherokee. Well... we did lol)

 

thank you

 

Let us know how you install those speakers man!

 

what did you mount the rear lisence plate brackett too? body of the jeep inbetween the bars of the orfab bumper?

 

no used one of the bolts that mount the bumper to the brackets

 

Today re-painted my grill and mounted my Jeep emblem:



and doors are almost finished (de-rusting and re-painting rusted spots)

 

well haven't done anything in awhile but today i took out my beat up headliner caus ei got no need for it and hated it anyways:

 

Started installing my Rustys Offroad long arms and dont get me wrong greatest thing when installed but getting installed SUCKS...lol jeep is spending the night in buddies garage...

 

Finally got the long arms fully installed today at about 5pm then went wheeling:



but on the whelling trip i went over a rock and decided it wanted to flip over and put a sizable dent in my floor which i later fixed with a hammer:

 

Well did my front u-joints as they were pretty overdue and sloppy...the adjusted out my left control arm as it was to short putting my alignment off and making me dog-leg...
