Going to figure out what oil pan bolts I'm missing then go and replace them. Hopefully their not stripped. Then the jeep should be offroad ready. Besides a temp gauge. See how it goes.

Got her back from an alignment today. You know things are off when your mechanic says "you sure had our work cut out for us". So caster was screwed, wheelbase was about 3-4" to short (tires don't rub on fenders at full lock anymore, BONUS!), toe was in pigeon mode. The camber on one side of the front axle is off by 1 degree, this is most likely due to a fight it got in this a wrangler. Apparently my rear axle is off centered by about 1/4"? could have happened when I opened up the holes for the center pins, or the springs are not sitting right.

Rides straight and great even at 85mph+. I did forget to warn them about something I have done before.

Broke the zerk off the RE long arms. If the upper joints aren't perfectly centered, they will shear off. This design does not make sense to me as what happens when I really get to flexing? Will they get busted off for a third time? I think I might get some flush mounts. I will have to drop the belly pan each time I have to grease them but oh well.
