gpt everything finished over the weekend. I had her out romping through some mudd and it all works perfectly! so friggin happy i can drive it again! reaming the knuckles wasnt so bad after all, and im very pleased with the handling quality.

Also replaced both rotors and brake pads, realized the ball joints on the bottoms are about to be toast...wich is a real PITA job, and my clock spring is shot. Why do parts have to be so jealous, fix one thing and something else says, HEY **** FIX ME TOO...

But regardless im pumped, whos ready for a wheeling trip?

Also, for your front bumper did you get the unibody tie-in brakets and the steering spacer? or just do without them?? Do you know if theyre really worth the additional $$???

if you have Drings or a hitch on the bumper, you def need the tie in brackets, or you'll rip the bumper off the first time you pull from it. Even if you don't - highly recommended. The stock bumper isn't attached very well.

Dont be envious, build it better

And yes i did purchase them, I plan on getting a winch mount for the receivers so i can pull from the front or the rear as needed.

simply put...you can't.


Unless you swap out the leaf packs for a set made for a different truck that have the center pin hole in a different spot, and you'd have to move the rear mount back as well.


But you don't need to to fit 35s. May have to just cut a bit more, or make sure you're bumpstopped enough in the back

^ "Rescue Green Metallic". It's a factory JK color but any paint store should be able to mix it up.

Paint Code is "PJR"
