I put my Jeep up on jack stands could it be that I'm going up a tire size to 39's
Or am I going down to 35's I guess you'll just have to follow my build and find out

My son and I made this 15 light LED 3rd brake light. You can see it a mile away.

That's what I was hoping for! This is just enough rust to ruin everything, but not enough to break in half. I even used the chisel but it won't go through easy enough. Jeebus christmas!

Just figured out a much easier way to remove my bumper trim. Hammer.

I'm going to set this thing on fire.

Started with installing extended soft lines, but every hard line snapped. Ran all new brake lines from the distribution block to the tires, and the wheel cylinder bleeders snapped off. Installed new wheel cylinders and bled this morning.

She's drivable, but we're gonna bleed the system one more time when my neighbor gets home from work. This is Day 4 of the project.

Taking a break. Got my IRO track bar put on. Coils in. Put calipers back on and old wheels tires. Its sitting on its own weight in the front again. 6.5" coils were way too big. I used the Rusty's 3" HD coils that were on there before and a couple 3/4" spacers stacked together. Looks proper.

Still need to attach shocks. I also need to pull the steering box off the parts XJ and see if I can drill out the pitman arm without breaking my wrist.
