I'm talking about the factory lower control arm brackets
oh, yea, they are long gone. The lower links would bottom out on them just going through pot holes. only thing left is the outer section that's stitch welded to the outside of the unibody. one day ill get to em, but not yet. i still have to mount the tie-in brackets.
Back on 33's. Temporarily. These rims and tires will go on the expedition trailer as soon as I get a set of 17's to match a set of 35s I have in the shed.
Now you have as many pre 2000 Jeep's as I do...lol It's nice when something breaks and you're like, "hold on...I have one of those right over here..."
How's the 3 link riding?
Couldn't swap over the door hardware or easier just doing the whole door? Painting it?
Exactly! no need to go to a junkyard. Just part out and keep in storage The part that went bad was the latch assembly. I started to swap it out, and then realized what a pain inthe rear it was going to be to disconnect all the rods on 2 doors. fish the new one in there and try to blindly re-connect the rods. So i just swapped the doors since i wasnt keeping the 94 Shell. I love the 3 link, bilstein shocks, Rustys 6.5 coils. it rides so much better than short arms at that height.
Welp, fired up the truck after work friday and my windshield instantly fogged up. smelled coolant, and noticed a nice pool of green Antifreeze on my passenger floor liner. You all know what that means. Guess i get to pull the entire dash as soon as the temps get above Zero. UGHHHHH

That sucks big time! Is that the way to fix that just with Commanchee or like that with XJs as well?
It's like that with darn near EVERY vehicle. It has to do with the assembly process when they build them. First they put the firewall on the frame, then they put the heater core in, then everything else. I've done a few and they are a PITA. Wish you luck on the Comanche.

Yea it's exactly the same. Such a PIA.

yup. Unfortunately this means the MJ is down for at least a month. I get home after dark, and my shop is propane heat. Granted its slightly warmer, it's Still friggin cold when it is below zero outside and I have to be extra careful not to crack any plastic.
