I've got a new problem now...
Got one out but the other one wont move. Soaked in PB blaster all night and wont move, heated to red hot and still wont come loose. I'm installing adjustable lower control arms so I don't nee the adjustment from the cam bolts.
This is the bolt
My question is can I use a same size and strength bolt and some thick washers(not offset washers regular washers) instead of the cam bolts?
thanks I really want to get this Jeep back on the road by tomorrow so I can play with some friends instead of riding in one of there trucks.

Its alive and all 4 wheels are pulling. I know it has no doors on it. It was a nice day and we just wanted to see if it affected the Jeep any. They will be going back on tomorrow.
The testing site. This was the easiest hill there I didn't get any pics of the rock garden hill or the steep hill climbs.

you will probley need help to drop the tc but i got lucky and my dirt bike lift fit under the tc with about 1in space. I was able to drop and reinstall it by myself. I dont have a crossmember drop on it and the drive shaft angles are not to bad. It was ablast riding without the doors until i was on the way home at 10 last night. it got a bit chilly.

Exit 174 on I24 Just past Chattanooga right before 24 goes into GA. Where are you in N. GA? I think Chase (Broncofire something) is coming and he is in Dalton and you could follow along. If you need I can give you some better directions and where we will meet.

I'm in Cleveland but theirs no way mines going that far yet. I don't completely trust it yet. I've only drove it 2 times since I fixed it and I got to fix a few more things. Thanks for the offer.

No problem, there are a lot of good people I ride with in Cleveland so when you are ready just let us know and you can follow one of them.

Took the Jeep out for its first real off road test after replacing the T case, front axle and all the steering components. I can finally drive it above 30MPH took her up to 70+/- and it was smooth and straight. I only got one pic on the trail and didn't notice my GoPro's batterys were dead. It didn't even last 1 min before it cut off.

Went out after work with a few friends. I don't know whats up with my camera phone. One pic will be clear and the next will be blurry.
