All the u joints, wheel bearings, pads rotors and calipers, new rear drums, custom made e brake cables, a new NSS (390$ warehouse price ouch) a few other things that needed to be addressed. Plus labor for the 3 days worth of work. But on the bright side new sticker the 50$ ticket and insurance points are being thrown out and I get to keep my license. (this would have had me labeled as a habitual traffic violator due to mistakes I made when I was younger)

 

ok for an inspection sticker they shouldn't be looking at your brakes nor the u-joints shouldnt have to have had custom e brake cables made and an nss goes for $50 on e-bay you got bent over

 

bc those cost money and the ones i got were free!! haha if what i got doesnt work ill def buy a set of those. good looks brotha

 

im sorry to say but my man steve is right. your bum must really hurt after that one..

 

ya there are rechargable ones

 

so i promised alot of my friends and wheeling buddys that i would regear and have 35s by the end of summer...


well guess who bought gears?... thats right this guy!!!

got a used set of 4.56 yukon gears and a empty carrier for my D30. next up on the wish list is master install kits. also got a electric fan from a 93 taurus!!

 

Look what showed up!!!!



now just gotta find a nice deal on some master install kits. but i have a nice little custom job im concocting with a buddy of mine that is my first priority. updates to come.

 

so while searching for a good deal on master install kits and saving up my money today we banged out a few of the projects on my to-do list. painted my lower quarters on my doors black. and did the doorless mod for my front doors. honestly was as much of a pita as i thought it was gonna be. didnt have much time to take pics during but here are some pics of the after math.

 

Love running doorless, unfortunately mass state police don't approve. Looks good though lol.

 

so my jeep has always had an issue when it came to play in the steering wheel. alot of ppl told me they fully expected it to be my old ZJ V8 tie rod steering upgrade and its ****ty tie rod ends. and the fact i had no braces on my steerin box. so when the day came where my old steering box finally bit the dust i upgrades almost my entire steering to eliminate the "play" rustys heavy duty tie rod, new oem steering box, rustys and jcr steering box braces. new drag link heavy duty sleeve from rustys. after installing everything and getting my alignment the play was even worse when turning to the drivers side.. when turning pass it was tighter then before. so we adjusted my steerib box and tightened up my steering a bit. the jeep will drive straight when i let go of the wheel so its not the alignment itself that the issue. there was still plenty of play but with it being tighter to turn the wheel it was alot less noticable.. well in the weeks since doing that my steering has completely loosened back up and now when turning to the drivers side i hear a slight clunking noise and i can feel slight vibrations and can feel what feels like metal on metal rubbing.. from the looks of it my drag link ends are going but not shot yet could that be the issue? i just replaced my axle joints in the fall so not those are not the issue. iv been hearing recently it could be my ball joints or wheel bearings? could either of these be the issue after what i described? if not what would be anyones suggestions? im lifted 6.5" long arms if that helps. here is the link to my advanced cherokee tech post on the topic:

any advice or opinions on the issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

so last night driving home my hood flung open on me bending my hinges and latches. damn suckers musta broke recently and last night caught wind and the perfect angle to lift the hood right up. anyways got new middle latch and hinges from my buddy timmy aka TJkiller and while the hood was off decided to install my hood vents iffy weather turned to crappy weather and it started raining so the pic sucks and some of the paint on the bolt heads is coming off but i think it looks good. painted the vents flat black and the bolt head lime green to go with my color scheme.

 

just an updated pic of the jeep. attempting to flex out on a small rock in my buddys yard.

 

So the easter bunny came a day late this year. he couldnt fit my new gift in my easter basket...



........dang it where you hiding new gift?????



OH there you are, hiding back there!!


thats right, 35s baby! got a set of 4 BFG KM1s 35x12.5x15 on a set of spare rims (which i will be selling with my old coopers) the 35s only cost me 275$ cha-ching cha-ching. here a pic of us re trimming my front fenders to make the 35s fit comfortably when flexing, then a pic of my front drivers tire stuffed, followed by 2 pics of the jeep flexing.
