6. New battery terminal

Pumped because i finally get to drive it after buying it a month ago(took awhile to get inspected, also took long to get plates)

 

Drove her to the beach today to get some sun.......

 

Well last week my death wobble nearly killed me. I hit a small bump in the road at approx. 45mph and the wobble started. Before i could even hit the brakes there was a loud BANG! and the mounts that hold the sway bar and LCA to the pass side of my axle snapped off. I skidded into the oncoming lane (thank god there was no traffic) then managed to skid off the right side of the road. The coil was just dangling in front of the axle held to the top by rust and the tire was jammed into the back of the wheel well. NOT FUN. I got the entire front axle/suspension/steering assembly out of a 98 cherokee that was totalled with less than 2k miles on the clock for 300 bucks and with work and no garage i had a trusted local shop install everything for 400 bucks in labor. Now my death wobble is completely gone and I'm even seeing a big improvement in fuel mileage!

 

^ ^ thatd be scary as hell

last night i drove it to friday night destruction and a jk parked behind me, saw some good action. tonight i got laid in it!

View from the summit. Elevation @ 807 feet.

 

I added a Rough Country 3" lift, new brakes front & rear, new rear brake lines and tossed the sway bars in the scrap bin. The 31" MTR's still rub on the front lower arms but I am dealing. Actaully did this work a few weeks ago but I have only had the Jeep for a few months. Looking at rear loacker options next. Oh yeah, mashed the rear bumper the first weekend out!

 

I had the same wobble at 45 and suspected the badly worn front tires were the problem. Ordered 2 new 31" MTR's and had them mounted and balanced...she runs smooth now. I am not sure if taking both sway bars off was a good idea but after snapping both front studs to the axle mounts off during the lift install I will just deal with it.

 

Did some maintenance, changed the oil, added some power steering fluid, and some tranny fluids. Measured how much piping I need for my cold air intake that I'm building for the Jeep. Replaced my bad fuses, and got new once in. Other then that, she's parked out back... lol...

 

i looked at it.......

 

lol... I did that last last night, and the night before, oh wait... I'm still doing it... lol

 

Finally got my new rear bumper tire carrier and my rock sliders on. Now im just wondering what to do next.... anyone have ideas?

 

Right after the race is over, today. I will be replcing the 3rd broken adjustable end on my NICE Rusty's Off Road track bar. I froke it while crossing the river at the start of the Lake Isabelle Trail up at Reiter Trails, yesterday.
