Nope totally made my day. Well part of there problem is that their s10 was spinning back left and front right and my rear end is full posi, and all 4 of my wheels will spin, I had a 400 horse z71 I had to sell a year ago and needless to say it did great in the mud so the jeep proved itself today only had it 2 weeks its on a 2 inch lift. It's a 5 speed and all stock for now

First time in the mud with my jeep and very very impressed

I have the strong arm lift struts on my 92 XJ and I'm not too happy with them lol.


I still like what I did with my 96 though, I went to the junkyard and found a set of BRAND NEW lift struts laying in the back seat of an XJ. I only paid $4 for both of them too!

My strong arms are great. So great they pushed the brackets of the hatch forward a lil and my hatch would bounce when I hit bumps. I had to remove one and put a stock one back and problem is solved

I dont think you should use pb or wd40 on o2 sensors.
