Put the rear hatch trim piece I bedlined on. Got my bedlined bumper caps on, although I think the driver side still didn't get one of the little "clips" on right.
I drained and refilled the tcase. Only about 2 cups of dark black fluid came out. I should've checked that back a year ago, I just assumed since the PO had "regular matainence" that her "mechanic" would've had it filled.
I also bought new sway bar link bushings from autozone, and sway bar bracket bushing... yea one. I had to put it off because I gotta drive to another store. Ah well. I'll do em tomorrow.

Finally finished my A/C to OBA conversion install. On Board Air FTW!!
Had to test it of course so
I wheeled her through Metberry Gulch and got all muddy. Needless to say, she's a pretty happy jeep right now

Yea. I get It out of salvage in the morning. I'll post pics when I get It out. From what I remember. The drivers side was pushed in 8 to 10 inches and I was slammed into a light pole and it jammed the doors so the fire fighters had to bend the door out to get me out. I would if had to be the dumbest person alive to not call.

This is the cj 5. Complete down to the frame restore, I believe he said a t150 transmission locking hubs in the front. Its clean ad hell. All new suspension all new bushings. Really thinking about getting it.

Bumps
Setting up progressive bump stops .
Finding out where 'bottom-out' needs to be (16" from shock eye to eye).
Using spring perches on axle which will accept adjustment spacers (hocky puck?).
Also found out the driveshaft slip-shaft is bottoming out at full compression. Will shave down the Hack-N-Tap to remedy (will not lose any spline engagement).

The rear is all limo. The front two doors are one shade darker than legal in in az and the front windshield is done in a real light tint to reduce glare of on coming light and help with triple digit heat around here. It has been on there do long it is turning colors so it will get fresh tint soon. The angle makes it look darker than it really is.

I run the riddler on my xy and poison spider on the wife's jeep and love them both. The d30 P/S one is on sale on their website for 89 bucks. If you can swing it I would recommend the the lube locker gaskets. They can be reused and no silicone mess.
