yea i thought about it more after i said that lol

I think that position needs more front firing LED power since it's mounted horizontally...ish...but i don't see those exist. Maybe a strip of LEDs would work better

Hmm maybe. I might do those along the roof on the trim. I was thinking about doing full length strips on the trim any ways

The spacers are already welded on. Rotors drilled out And knuckles drilled out to 5/8.

I just got to figure out what ill be doing for steering. ill probly re drill the knuckles out to 3/4 weld in some go-fer-it otk inserts and get jks FAB tierod/drag link with stock wj tie rod ends and a FSJ pitman arm. ive still got some research/thinking to do

I probably won't install these for quite a while. I want to do a durango box swap first since im swapping in a d30 with serious off road steering so ill roll with that for a while
Ill get better pics at some point. Lol

Loosened up the intake and retourqued hoping to fix that vaccum leak. No dice. Ill change the gasket and swap in my 99 intake.

Also sold my 31" spare for 80$ and picked up a 33x 1050 bfg AT for 50$. I will be ordering another summit d window probably tonite.

And got the 00 running. The front drive shaft is totally shot and vibrates like crazy

i saw a pic were a guy used a FSJ piman arm and the angles didnt look that bad. they weren't parralel but werent too far off. i think with a lower frame side trac bar mount and like 5.5'' of lift should put everything pretty damn close to correct angles

i was really on edge with it till i saw that pic since i didnt want such a short track bar. honestly i'm fine with my zj tie rod set-up, i just wanted better brakes and didnt want to pay 1k$ for the vanco kit
