Check your track bar bolts right away, especially the axle side. I was ignoring my DW for a few days after my lift, and I pulled over on the side of the highway at one point to find my axle side nut hanging on by two threads.
lol. Yeah that was the second thing I checked. The alignment shop left two LCA bolts loose so those were my main suspects. When I get the time to pop off the front bumper and skid plate (skid plate with the bumper on is a real pain...) I'm going to check out the UCA bolts. Based on the fact that the DW didn't show up until a few hundred KM over bumpy road I'm assuming something's worked loose and it's not a bad bushing (only old ones are UCA frame-side).

EDIT: oh and the steering stabilizer is still in my driveway. WTF is up with that tapered stud doodad

I have like no pics of the build lol, didn't have time. Here's what I do have, more on friend's camera.

grrrrrrr

Two days late. Threw all the tools in the back and went!

Ended up driving out further. Technically this is Arctic Ocean water.

I thought everyone said RE springs are stiff? These certainly are, the spring rate is monstrous. I don't doubt that the RC shocks are junk but you'd need to put at least like 300 lbs more up front in order to get "cloud" out of these lol
Omg the jeep looks so bare lol. Good going though

Wanted to install the cowl snorkel. Went out and bought everything needed. Then the floods happened (should have started earlier dammit!) so today I went to install and realized that the filter I purchased was too big. Lost the receipt too. Forehead slap.
So until I can get enough cash to purchase a new filter...we'll be running the redneck snorkel.

Adjusted the neutral safety switch to get the reverse lights working, found the vacuum leak to the reservoir and fixed that. Went to adjust the rearview mirror, and it came off in my hand....fixed that. Gave her a bath. Bought drivers side motor mount for weekend project.

My filter is inside my engine bay in a paint can with pvc going to the cowl from there.

Driver's side motor mount is the easy one. Shouldn't take the whole weekend. I did mine in about 30 minutes. It was the passenger side that was hard.

He didn't say it was going to take the WHOLE weekend. It's a project FOR the weekend. He's not Bimmerjeeper, ya know.
