Dang, mines mainly hidden except for my non existing rockers haha. That's my only regret was that I didn't go with my parents to look at the car. They surprised me with it.

So attempted at doing my tie-rod and also adjust my track bar yesterday but ran into to some noob problems with the track bar. Stripped the bottom track bar hardware and was a ***** to get out. Ran out of time but finished everything today. No really change other then piece of mind knowing the new rod won't bend like my friends.
****ty picture but it's all I got. Thinking I wanna paint it white but that's down the road.

So had a busy weekend with my brothers wedding and all so didn't do any jeep work. Did go offroading a little but yesterday. Was a last minute trip to a small local spot and had a good time. Went with a couple friends who had an old f150 and a 2wd Dakota. Its not posted or anything but the owner puts nails and **** in the trails to prevent kids from going. So of course we found one after walking most of the trail.

Don't have anything big happening with the jeep till probably mid summer. Don't know what I want, but thinking maybe control arm drops and small budget boost.
I was washing my jeep and noticed that one of the kc driving lights wasn't working. Turned out to be blown bulb and not a wiring issue like I thought it'd be. Got a new h3 bulb and threw it in.
My friend finally lifted his grand cherokee so we took some typical forklift flexing shots. His is in the background, 4.5 lift on 33s
And I got jealous that he had more flex so yeaterday, I took off the front sway bar. Wasn't only for that reason, my swaybar links were shot and one was leaning pretty hard. Also, I didn't like how the sway bar was so low and visible with my bumper.

Then I got bored and took my driver side door off. Stripped a couple of the torx heads then found out there's a hole in the hinges so you can reach in front the fender walls. So I replaced the bolts with some hex heads. I got a mirror at advanced and threw it on cause I kept looking where the mirror was only to see no mirror.
Easy job and lining up was no problem. Just look at where the dirt and grime is to line up the shims and stuff.

Also order some more jeep ****. I got new housings because the old autopals were all cracked and dirty. Ordered rampage houses and order the clear side markers to give them a shot.
Out with the old
And the fresh new ones.
Everything all finished up. Looks a little ricey but I really like it. Different then most

So it's been a while but ill try to bring it up to date a little bit.
Me and a couple friends went to the Ocean City (nj) jeep invasion and had a good time. Tons of awesome jeeps went.
Picture of the jeeps meeting at the airport.
Up to that point, I only had the front doors removable so I did the rear cause why not.
No pictures but I did the neon injector swap with I believe the 703s. Soaked them in seafoam and replaced the o-rings. They smoothed up the idle only slightly because the PO had Ford injectors in there already.
Went on a trip to Wharton state forest over in Jersey with a local group.
Tried pulling my twin jeep out of a whole
Rubbed the crap out of the fenders so I trimmed them and later cut/bent the inner fenders. Still rubs but only at full flex while turning.
Also fixed a blown tranny cooler line after it had rubbed on the E-fan and split open. Luckily it happened at work parked.

So I had got bored after not changing anything up on the jeep and decided to order the Jcr taillight boxes with the led kit.
Didn't take any pictures during install but the boxes were strong and I couldn't wait to install them.
The install seemed simple enough but I ran into some problems.
I had some trouble with everything lining up but the wiring was simple to do after watching a bleepinjeep video on YouTube of the install. The boxes hit on the trunk lid. Easily fixed by ovaling out the holes on the box but I never got to doing that. Overall, They look great and I'm glad i bought them afterwards(not so much when putting them on haha)
Only picture of the lights.
The bottom signals are amber turn signals, so I was without reverse lights for a while. I bought some rock lights from Olympus and glued them to the bottom of the boxes to keep it legal. Awesome little lights for the price. It's a metal strip of three LEDs
