but to answer your question, i love the bumper... im gonna stay no roof rack untill i go for my car top tent....

So last time i took her out, i blew my steering box to pieces, bent my tierod..and pass tierod end...so in the near future, durango steering box (duke you can help me right, haha), and probly jcr 1Ton steering linkage....untill than the jeep isnt driving anywhere...

Annnnnd, i found a guy with just about every dana axle ever made... he has about 50 old fors trucks and axles from about 50 more... can you say 60/60! ok maybe 44/60, but that means im gonna have to spend a grand on rvc axles up front...decisions, decisions

 

FYI - JCR is changing their bumper designs, a LOT. The new ones look amazing and they will have a cut/fold option as well as having them be flush in the back. Quarter panel guards will be optional and bolt over the sides of the bumper itself.

You'll want just the inner plate with your bumper

 

So, just the inner plate...got it. Im pondering over the knuckle from jcr, but im thinking im just gonna go with the standard set-up. I dont want to much hassle replacing my steering...

 

yea reaming knuckles is a PITA...

 

now even with the under knuckle, it says im gonna have to drill out the knuckle to accept the poly bushings that JCR uses...im trying to find someone whos done the job and can advise...

 

psst just found this - IRO OTK system - no reaming/drilling required, and you don't have to relocate your axle side trackbar mount

IRO stuff is awesome. I have their stuff on my trail ZJ-Long arms and OTK, totally worth buying

 

dammit! i bought the jcr stuff already.... i should check this thing more often i suppose. gonna finally fix that trac bar issue i have as well

 

holy **** you're alive!

 

soooo, the 99 durango box is in, I replaced the power steering pump, due to the resivior cracking when i was attempting to remove the hose from the gear box... over all not too bad of a deal. took about 4 hrs work time, cost me 270$ for both the gear box and steering pump. Got the reamer bit ordered so hopefully this beast will be back in action here shortly...i miss driving my jeep!!!

 

yay! I miss you driving your jeep also

 

DONE
