:sigh: here you are having a snow storm and I think we've totaled 9" in NYC this season. We did get several inches of rain yesterday though

Well, it's official, the stocker is getting a 3" lift. The wife is already claiming it as hers. I'm not complaining. It means I get to mod yet another, and there will be two lifted XJ's in the driveway. Getting the truck sold means new tires for both! She is as excited as I am.
Family outings won't be the same after this.
Even my son asked me "Daddy, when are you gonna make that jeep cool?"

Installed a hitch today, instructions said 45 min took 3 hours. Amazing how a couple stuck rusted bolts can kill you on time. I also had PB Blasted it in advance...oh well.

Pb blaster ain't worth a damn...check out aero Kroil made by Kano Labs. You can pretty much only order direct, and it's a little expensive but this stuff has not failed me yet. Spray it and let it sit, and the nuts and bolts will just about be on the ground the next day.

Freeze Off by CRC works a whole lot better than PB in my experience
