Please note these were taken prior to final tightening and adding of the second nut on each bolt during the locktite process.

Well I went wheeling today with LOJ and overall it was a great trip I think I may need a new trans mount but if thats all I broke I'll call it a good trip now for the pics well some of them haha




and now the fun pics and yes the driver walked away with only a scratch. that hill is much steeper than it looks and is very slick due to a recent rain he lost traction and got sideways and rolled once

me pulling plugs to check for oil prior to starting it up

Well I dont have a pic of my ZJ doing this but this gives you the idea and my longer wheelbase allowed me to get up it with little issue I had to pull this tj down and out with the zj
